After the most intense week in my personal life, it was a beach day… and one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in my three years on the coast.

My life is paradisiacal, yes.

I have healed my relationship with food and my body, yes.

I work for myself on my own terms and make good money, yes.

Intense sh*t still happens.

Scary sh*t.

Worst nightmare sh*t…

… and I am still ok.

My work is not about reaching “perfect” equilibrium, staying there, and never having a hard day or week again.

It’s about building up resilience, expanding your capacity, and strengthening your nervous system so that you can find beauty and grace in pain.

You can get through scary stuff and be ok.

And if things aren’t ok, we must trust the divinity and timing of that, too.

Otherwise we’ll live in fear of what could happen.

We’ll be just “ok” instead of incredible… and sh*t could still happen.

I’m grateful for so many things, but today I’m feeling especially grateful for myself.

For my strength.

For my work ethic.

For my pleasure ethic.

For my ease ethic.

For the way I do life.

For the reality I’ve created from a reality that looked completely different.

From circumstances that told me I might never be able to create what I wanted.

I’m grateful for my business.

For my clients.

For money, and the stability and safety it supports – not creates – because stability and safety are within me, regardless of money.

I’m grateful for my integrity.

For my ability to speak my boundaries.

Even through tears. Even when my voice shakes.

Even when my entire body shakes, to the core of my nervous system.

I am grateful for my ability to step forward.

For my stubbornness.

For my persistence, sometimes blind.

I am grateful for my soul.

For who I am and who I am becoming.

For all that is and all that’s to come.

For my ability to acknowledge myself.

My ability to give, and my ability to love.

It is so important to acknowledge ourselves. To see ourselves. To meet ourselves. To love ourselves.

When we do that, we are free to be acknowledged, seen, met, and loved by others – without need or anxiety, and without codependence.

What aspect of yourself are you most grateful for today?

I’d love to hear from you.

XO,
Lula
