January 2020 - I am Capable
2020: I AM CAPABLE ✨ For me, this year is all about rewriting my narrative & shattering the limiting beliefs I have about myself. Here’s a few of these lies I have lived by, believing them to be the forever truth. 1. I can’t cook and when I try, it will still be shit. 2. I can’t be alone / I don’t like it. 3. I’m not smart, creative or original enough to be worthy of the unique success I aspire to achieve. These are three HUGE lies I have believed for far too long, and their story ends RIGHT👏🏼 NOW 👏🏼 It’s A LOT to tackle, I know. but I’m committed to taking baby steps each day, week and month to unravel this tangled web and set my story straight. >>I AM CAPABLE OF WHATEVER THE F*CK I WANT TO DO 🔥 <<
Normally, chasing lofty goals excites me, but when I think about all the little baby steps I need to take to get there I can get a little overwhelmed; which is why I made this list of January reminders that I taped to my closet door. In an effort to help me be mindful of ALL the things I want to accomplish. Also, I am a HUUUGEEEE believer of things being more likely to happen when they are written down and visible.
So how did I do this month?! Happy you asked (even though you didn't haha).Being present - Finally!! I DID IT! Being (and staying) in the moment, is something I have wanted for quite a few years now, but to be honest, I don't think I was doing the necessary work to actually reap the rewards of finding uninterrupted peace and not letting my thoughts wander. I am obviously not perfect, but I realized when I was at yoga, while in my flow, or tapping it back at Verve I was able to focus on my breath and just BE THERE. My thoughts didn't wander to my never ending to do lists, what my clients needed or that one weird thing I said to the grocery clerk a few days ago... I also found myself acknowledging "what is" and was genuinely okay with it. When I did find my mind wandering, I wouldn't get mad at myself. I re-directed my thoughts, to what was right in front of me and tried my best to get back into the zone.Here are a few mindful habits I picked up that helped me stay in the moment and be mindful of the here and now.
- 5 minute morning meditation / meditative music for sleep
- 5 minute Journal - gratitude practice
- Daily movement ( spin class, yoga or a walk around the neighborhood)
- FNL Journal ( mood tracker, goal setter, all around "super journal"
Books- I love reading, but somewhere along the way I fell out of the habit and got lazy. BUT I visited my little shelf of books I have been wanting to read, and did the damn thing. I finished an entire book (it wasn't really that long) but remembered why I loved reading so much, not only for the escape, but to learn and see things from different perspectives. Not only did I finish a book, but I joined two book clubs!!Mind the Money- Honesty time!! I could have been WAAAAY better about this. I didn't have a solid system in place and, as theysay, you can't win em all... right? So here's to a new month, a new awareness and a new chance to try again...Word Magic- It's funny because until just now I didn't think I wrote anything this month. But when I actually sat down to think about it - aka this blog post, I wrote so much!! I mean HELLOOOO, I journaled every single day, multiple times, in multiple journals, lol. Just goes to show that writing is POWERFUL!!!!! I will 10000% continue these writing habits that have grounded me, allowed me to be in the moment and to overall raise my level of self-awareness. Now I know we are into month TWO of 2020, so best believe I have a whole new set of February reminders and goals I want to tackle...
