"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.

What If Your Desire Is the Evidence?
Have you ever had an idea that just wouldn’t let you go? In 2015 I caught myself thinking … “I want to help people be the best they can be.” And then I immediately shut it down. “How would I EVER do that? “ ♡ What’s your idea?...that one that just keeps hanging around. “… to travel overseas for a year.” “… to own my own home.” “… to start my own fashion label.” Those ideas feel so good when you...
Returning to Yourself
Just today I came across a piece of writing one of my daughters sent me a few years ago. She’d written an account of her thoughts and observations leading into an interaction we’d had a year after I began a new chapter in my life. Reading it again stirred my emotion, and my gratitude, for what she’d delivered to me that day. The account of events she’d written about was true. What hit me was ho...

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to become consumed by something you don't want? It could be a problem you’re experiencing now, A situation you’re dreading,A person you don’t enjoying working with,A ‘what if’ scenario…. It crowds out your thinking.
