If this was my final year, how would I show up? How can I avoid having regrets in life?
I wrote that 👆🏽 down in a notebook a while back, pondered it a little, and then closed the notebook, put it back on my desk and dove into the next task.
We do that a lot, right? ... hear something that resonates, maybe make note of it, but ultimately set it aside and go about our lives.
But those 11 words have been whirling in my brain over the past few weeks, nudging at my fears, pushing back against my excuses, whispering at my limiting beliefs.
If this was your final year, how would you show up?
Well... it sure as shit isn’t sitting on the couch watching Netflix and eating aaaall the things.
It sure as shit isn’t #yolo-ing my face off and continuing to abuse my body. It sure as shit isn’t pretending that I’m ok with being sick inside my own skin.
It sure as shit isn’t hiding my body from my husband out of pure shame.
Because I’ve already done all of that.
I want to FINALLY know what it feels like to love myself, to walk with confidence in my healthy body, and to impact women EVERYWHERE to know that they don’t have to continue to live in those shadows either. I want to have zero regrets about how I lived my life.
It breaks a little piece of my soul every day when I see a woman quitting on herself, giving up on realising all the things she’s always wanted for her life, just because it gets hard.
Glennon Doyle: “life isn’t hard because you’re doing it wrong. It’s hard because you’re doing it right”.
Lean into the hard, sweet friend... everything you want for this one life you get is right on the other side of that decision.
THAT'S how we will get to the end of this life with no regrets... by LIVING.
Love you. Mean it 💋
What is 'regret': defined as "a feeling of sadness, repentance or disappointment over something that has happened or been done", how I see regret showing up in my Coaching sessions with 1:1 clients is at missed opportunities. I hear people express regret at not pursuing /relationships/experiences over vanity concerns like 'what will people think?' or 'what if I fail?'.
But what if it works out even better than you hope, my darling?
