Why Are You Holding Yourself Back?
/Breathe & Settle Down
Imagine what it’s like to be your dream self. Everything you put yourself through, everything you tell yourself to achieve this perfect ideal is now a reality. Now think of what this feels like. Are you free? Are you happy? Are you able to move and be at ease with yourself, holding hands with your soul as you live the life you’ve always envisioned? Now, imagine your soul pulling away from you after the years of solitude and isolation from your heart. Try and picture what you might look like without the light of love in your eyes, the blush of inspiration on your cheeks, the stain of inspiration in your mind. It would be sad and bleak and lonely, wouldn’t it? So why do we do it?
I want to envision a world where people allow themselves to fluctuate, change, evolve, grow – in size, in heart, in freedom – and consolidate their lives with equal encouragement. I want to giggle with glee and jump up and down; a moment where I am unaware of the pounds lingering here and there. I want to inspire others to fall in love with the food they put into their bodies instead of allowing just another part of their lives to be filled with deception and cruelty. What we do matters. It’s time we wake up. We are here to live and thrive – we have this one body, this one vessel on this earth at this time – we get to choose how happy we are in this moment. Let me repeat that one more time. We get to choose how happy we are in this moment. Is it always easy, peasy, lemon squeazy? Heck no. It is complicated and convoluted and intense and emotional and overwhelming and exhausting, but it is real and true and authentic to who we are and how much we truly deserve. Because we deserve the moon and beyond, little lights. It’s all ours for the taking.

I don’t want to wake up tomorrow, ten years from now, fifty years from now, and have never truly lived because I was waiting for an unrealistic, inauthentic, unfortunate ideal that held me back. I want honesty, hope, determination, fun, laughter, love, great clothes, an awesome butt, best friends that keep it real, and the best life that I can live right now. Not tomorrow, not in the future, but right now in this very second.
I want to grab flowers and shove them towards my nose, twirl in laughter beneath rain clouds, scream my fears and my anxieties into the ocean breeze, and laugh with my soul sisters and brothers by my side. I want puppy snuggles, sleeping in, breakfast in bed, mind-altering kisses that make me blush to my toes, and I want it now, because why not? Who said I couldn’t? Me? What was I thinking?
Well I’m certainly thinking now. I want it all. I want it all for you and I want it all for me. And then I want a little more. And the only thing holding me back is myself. So let the dreaming begin, because anything you dream you can be in this world. And if you’re not sure how to dream that big, or you’re unsure how to make those dreams a reality, reach out. It’s not so scary when there is a hand reaching down inviting you to shake your hiney to Beyoncé and sing at the top of your lungs for awesomeness. I promise.
Love, laughter & as many winks as you need. Xx.
