"Well Done!"

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.

You always have enough power to carry what's yours
There’s something I’ve come to trust deeply. You always have enough power to carry what’s yours. If you’ve ever felt flat, stretched, or emotionally heavy it’s rarely because you’re weak or lacking power. More often, it’s because you’re carrying more than what’s yours to hold. Recently, a friend of mine - now a new mum herself - read about a young woman who had passed away, leaving behind a hus...
Tired of Effort as a Lifestyle?
There’s a question I’ve been sitting with lately. What if wealth - all the good you want to experience in life - doesn’t respond to effort…but to openness? We’re so conditioned to believe that if we just try harder, push more, stay on top of things, then life will finally open up and deliver for us. And yes - doing does have its place. But it’s not what you do that life responds to.Life doesn’t...
Giving What You Want the Green Light
Hello there, There’s something quietly shaping your year ahead. It isn’t your goals.It isn’t your effort.It isn’t even where you’re currently at. It’s in what you’re quietly believing. Faith is never neutral.It’s always pointed somewhere. Faith isn’t something reserved for religion or spirituality.It’s our innate ability to truly believe something.It’s part of how we’re wired as human beings. A...
