"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.

...here's the correct link
I sent you an email on Saturday, and the link wasn't quite right. Here's the correct link to get hold of the 5 Patterns Guide - 5 common patterns that keep people from living the way they want to - and how to begin the shift. You can download the 5 Patterns Guide here.  Di ♡      
Just Notice
I’ve been thinking a lot about awareness this week. Not awareness in some big, spiritual, complicated sense. Just noticing. Noticing what I say "yes" to automatically. Noticing the thought I have every time a particular opportunity comes up. Noticing when I dismiss an idea - even before I’ve given it a chance. Noticing the way I speak to myself when something doesn’t go to plan. Noticing is pow...
You Already Know
I’ve had a couple of weeks where an idea I’ve been carrying for a long time has become much clearer. And it’s left me fascinated by what we all have in us. Often, when we’re struggling with something — a decision, a relationship, our business, our confidence, our time — we can tend to think we need something else, something more to add. More discipline. More motivation. More confidence. A bette...
