"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.

The Raw Material of Creation
Often, in the hustle of daily life around us, it's easy to just drift along. Doing the do. These letters are an invitation to pause for a while, reconnect with what’s inside, and live a little more unapologetically you. ♡ How fitting that spring is just around the corner!

Often, in the noise of daily life, it's easy to drift away from our true selves. These letters are an invitation to pause for a while, reconnect with what you know to be true, and live a little more unapologetically you. ♡ Things weren’t going as I wanted them to. I was aware of the rumble inside me.It had my attention, but not my buy-in. I was standing, unmoving, observing the ship go down. Th...
Never Apologise For The Invisible Seasons
Often, in the noise of daily life, it's easy to drift away from our true selves. These letters are an invitation to pause for a while, reconnect with what you know to be true, and live a little more unapologetically you. ♡ As I sit writing this week’s letter, I’m noticing the tree just outside my window. It’s been bare for months now, having dropped its leaves in autumn, and to the untrained ey...
