"Well Done!"

by Di Russell

Do you ever say this to yourself?

"Well done ME!" 

What comes to mind even as you read this?

"...I can't think so highly of myself!"

"...How full of myself does that sound?"

"...what about all the things I DON'T do well?"

I've just spent a few days with one of my granddaughters. Her name is Mila, and often during the day she'd say "Well done Mila!", with a huge smile on her beautiful face.

I was so drawn to her obvious joy. She is so eager for life, so curious about what she CAN do. The most upsetting part of her day is going to bed, or having to sit still for too long.

If you were to say "Well done!" to yourself throughout your day - how would that make you feel?

Little Mila is 2 years old.  She hasn't yet learned to care what people think - even in her closest relationships - she just shows up fully and freely; unapologetically herself.

Being unapologetic about being ourselves plays a huge part in our expressing ourselves freely, and feeling good about it.

So, that's my challenge to you this week. Make a daily habit of noticing something you've done, no matter how big or small, and say to yourself "Well done me!"

Being you - fully, freely, unapologetically- that is the definition of AMAZING.

If not now... when?
Today feels like a bold letter from me to you. In recent weeks, I’ve had a few friends pass away.And along with the sadness… there’s always a stark reminder: Am I really giving life all I have? There is no rehearsal — this is it.And we don’t know when our curtain will fall. ♡ I see it so often…clever, creative, capable people. Full of ideas. And yet… it’s like they’re moving forward with the ha...
There's Power in Creating Space
When was the last time you really stopped … and created space for yourself? I don’t mean a pause for a cuppa…or just taking a day off (to catch up on chores). When - if ever - have you truly stepped back from everything - the noise, the doing, the constant holding of it all? To just pause, reflect and reconnect with what’s important for you. Almost 10 years ago now, I did exactly that. ♡ I was ...
Intuition Speaks Quietly - But Never Randomly
Intuition Speaks Quietly - But Never Randomly I was talking with a friend recently about the little hunches we get - those quiet inner nudges that seem small at the time but make so much sense when we look back. It reminded me of something that happened many years ago. I was about seven or eight months pregnant, rushing out the front door one morning and as I went to pull the door closed, I bec...
