I've decided to change my life
I know what you’re thinking, it can’t be that easy. Yes girl, it is just that easy! If you have been reading my blog, you know I wrote a letter to myself for New Years and since we're about half way through the year I could use a little reminder on a few things. The last couple months have been difficult, with work stress and health issues, it has been hard to keep up the happy Jess I usually am. But, I am resilient and strong, and I can do this!.
I am the girl who loves the hell out of everything! Everything includes me, I will remember that I deserve rest and care and sometimes I will need to force myself to relax and rest. You cannot pour from an empty cup and I am going to keep mine overflowing!
I am going to keep chasing fearlessness without giving any F&%$S if people see me fail. Fear of failure, especially in public has held me back from chasing too many things in my life. But girl, have you ever seen truly successful people hating on someone for trying something new? Nope, and you never will. Go for it!
I am saying BYE GIRL, to my lifelong frenemies, control and perfection! Neither of them are serving my higher purpose and I am way to smart to be the only one standing in my way.
I am the girl who uses my words, writing, social media and life in general to lift other people up, especially other women. I see so much negativity and hating online and in real life and I am not here for it! I have a talent for building women up, seriously, if you need a reminder of the bad ass woman you are, reach out to me, I got you girl!
I am going to demand that others treat me with the respect I give myself or they can go. I am working everyday to be an incredible human and you will give me respect I deserve, I have spent too many years of my life making excuses for other people’s bad behavior, not anymore!
I am going to be proud of the things I love, even if you think they are dumb, because being true to myself is more important than your opinion about it.
I am going to treat my body like it's something I love, I will make time to eat well and exercise, I will get enough sleep and down time, I will do things that bring me joy.
I am going to give myself grace when I make mistakes, I and miss goals. I will remember this is a part of chasing big dreams and excellence, there will be missteps and that just makes me human. No one is expecting perfection, except for me. I am thriving every day!
I am going to stay calm when things don't go according to plan. I will remember that chaos doesn’t bring out the best in me or bring more resolutions. Everything is figureoutable, like my girl Marie Forleo says. One step at a time, I got this!
I am going to build my family, my team, and my empire. I have big, crazy, amazing goals and dreams and I deserve for every single one of them to become a reality. That only happens when you are brave enough to chase them down, let's do the damn thing, girl!
Hope this fires you up and inspires you to make your own list! I believe you can change your life, if you change what you think about and what you tell yourself.
XO Jess
