HAPPY NEW YEAR, beautiful!

I have an important message for you today…

It’s safe to be exactly where you are.

Sustainable change can only be created from a place of self-love:

Accepting and celebrating yourself as you are today.

Voicing your needs.

Standing in your boundaries.

Taking deep care of yourself.

Celebrating your current body, for all she is and all she does.

Change created from shame will be fleeting… and/or backfire, compounding existing patterns and challenges.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

– Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming a Person: A Therapist’s View of Psychotherapy

Amidst all the “New Year, New You” pressure, it’s safe to be exactly where you are…

… and it’s safe to move toward what feels even better – the foods, people, environment, routines… at your own pace.

It’s safe to move quickly, when you feel called.

To break up with your bullsh*t and be the person you want to be now.

Regardless of the pace at which you feel called to move, the common denominators for sustainable change are self-love, non-judgment, and genuine inner motivation.

Identifying your why.

Doing it for yourself, so it sticks.

Your timing is divine, and your alignment + happiness are inevitable, if you move from a place of love, first for yourself.

How are you loving yourself today, and what are you stepping into, from that place of love?

Hugs,
