HOW TO COURAGEOUSLY CHOOSEREAL EVERYDAY

(AND KNOW WE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH)

WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT EMPOWERING GIRLS/WOMEN TO KNOW AND LIVE OUT THE TRUTH THAT THEY (AND EVERYONE AROUND THEM) ARE LOVED AND VALUED, THAT THEY BELONG, AND THAT THEY ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH, JUST AS THEY ARE. 

(ADDRESSING THE 3 UNIVERSAL FEARS).

I DIDN'T ALWAYS CHOOSEREAL.. RAW EXPOSURE & WHAT I NOW KNOW...

There was a time I didn't choose real. I chose to try and be like everyone else. I desperately wanted to fit in. But I couldn't. I was trying to be what I thought others wanted, but was always left feeling confused and empty. In my mind, I was not enough...  See the full post by our brave founder Ruth.

Road blocks, walls, closed doors, doesn’t mean the end, but the chance to start again, or maybe even just turn slightly to try another bend, shift direction, or climb that wall and go over it. ⠀ ⠀ It’s not the end lovely, even though it may feel like it’s over. It might just be the beginning of a brand new adventure. ⠀ ⠀ If you need, take time to grief the holt, the shift, the loss of where you thought you were going. Really feeling, helps you release. ⠀ ⠀ This is not failing, this is life. Full of ups and downs, forward and sideward, start and stop. ⠀ ⠀ Don’t beat yourself up for facing normal life stuff. ⠀ ⠀ Take your time in this journey, one step at a time. ⠀ ⠀ And remember, if you ever go too far in a direction you realize wasn’t meant for you, you can always come back, start again, shift direction. No one and no path is too far gone. ⠀ ⠀ New day, new choices x⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough⠀ ⠀ 📸 @morganharpernichols
One of our biggest ChooseREAL Advocates and one of my favourite people in the world! This is Lizy 🌻. She is like sunshine ☀️✨. Every time I see her I feel soo loved and adored! Always a running embrace. Always a “✌️#ChooseREAL dude!”. Always a joke or two. And very often a “piddy back” (piggy back 😉). So thankful for her! ⠀ ⠀ Do you have that person who just illuminates light? Who warms you up? ⠀ ⠀ Let’s celebrate our light carriers today. ⠀ 🙌🏻 Tag your sunshines ☀️🌻⠀ ⠀ They may not even know the impact they have - let’s bring a little light their way today ✨⠀ ⠀ ⠀ p.s. LOVE this photo of Lizy and me at the end of our ChooseREAL Jumper shoot - to get your jumper and be reminded of your worth and value go to the shop in our website (link in bio)⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
Remember lovely, comparison steals what you already have, by wishing it was something else. Then you feel like you’ve got nothing - you don’t have what you’re wishing for and what you do have feels less then. ⠀ ⠀ Don’t let the bright lights and green grass take away what you already have. We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, behind that smile, or neatly stacked books, or cute outfit, or fancy drink. ⠀ ⠀ So often in life, we’re showing people what we want them to see - especially on social media, creating an image we choose to share. ⠀ ⠀ We don’t see how they cried themselves to sleep, the stress they’re under, the pain they’re in, the loss they’re facing, the confusion that’s stopping them, the distractions that derail them, the unknown that scares them, the struggle to simply get out of bed...⠀ ⠀ That’s been me the last few weeks 👆🏻⠀ ⠀ Let’s not see what other people choose to show and be fooled to think that we don’t all struggle sometimes. ⠀ ⠀ Life is a rollercoaster. Let’s not compare our downward spiral with their heights. We never know when the next bend is coming. ⠀ ⠀ So let’s look at our hardships with OUR (not other people’s) blessings and remind ourselves that there is still good even if we can’t feel it right now. ⠀ ⠀ If you’re struggling right now, you are not alone x⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
There is good. Good in you, around you, and for you. You may not see it now, but you will soon. Hold on lovely 🌻⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 If you can see even a little good, how can you help those around you see the good in and around them? ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 If you’re struggling, you are not alone. The desert season you find yourself in will soon shift like these blossoming flowers. Ask others to help you see the good if you’re too weary to see. It’s there. And you can experience it even in the midst of this struggle. Sometimes we just need others to help lift our gaze. We’re not meant to do it alone. Reach out lovely. ⠀ ⠀ No matter what season you find yourself in, remember that no matter what, you are more than enough, all of you, right now, just as you are. ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough ⠀ ⠀ 📸 @ariellevey
I know I have! Constantly criticizing, judging harshly, punishing, tearing down. How could we feel confident, when we keep beating ourselves up for being human. ⠀ ⠀ What if we were our greatest cheerleader - how different would we feel about ourselves??⠀ ⠀ What if, when we looked in the mirror and felt disappointed, instead of picking out all the things we wish would change, we’d speak to ourselves like a kind friend - pointing out all the amazing things, reminding ourselves that our looks don’t matter that much, encouraging our worth...⠀ ⠀ What if, when we made a mistake, instead of labeling ourselves a failure straight away and being so mean to ourselves, we’d speak to ourselves like a cheering coach and find the lesson, encourage the growth, celebrate the fact that we tried, were courageous to give it a go, can try again...⠀ ⠀ What if... what if we weren’t at war with ourselves, but we were the peace-maker, the cheerleader, the kind friend, whoever we’ve needed for soo long. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 How can you be kinder to yourself today? How can you show yourself grace? ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 What would you say/do if you saw if you were trying to really help a friend in your situation? Say/do it for yourself. ⠀ ⠀ The more at war we are with ourselves, the more at war we find ourselves with others (comparison, competition etc).⠀ ⠀ Let’s end the war with love.⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
What’s your creative outlet? Doesn’t have to be something you’re good at. But so good to have something to just let your mind wander, or to slow down, or dream, or let out what’s bubbling up within, or get present, or process, or connect... There are soo many benefits. ⠀ ⠀ Everyone is creative, it can just look very different.⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 Do you know your creative jam? ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 Or how bout picking something to try? ⠀ ⠀ Here’s a few ideas:⠀ - painting / drawing⠀ - brain games - sodoku etc⠀ - playing music⠀ - scrapbooking ⠀ - wood work⠀ - puzzles⠀ - pottery⠀ - photography⠀ - dance⠀ - poetry⠀ - origami⠀ - cooking / baking⠀ - story telling⠀ - sewing ⠀ - typography / graphics⠀ - dress up⠀ - colouring in⠀ - playing games⠀ - dreaming⠀ - reading⠀ - jewelry making⠀ - blogging ⠀ - knitting ⠀ - encouraging someone ⠀ - making videos ⠀ - planning / organizing ⠀ - bush walking ⠀ - journaling ⠀ - quilting⠀ - recycling⠀ - floristry ⠀ - theatre ⠀ - cross stitch⠀ - learning a new language ⠀ - lego⠀ - meet new people⠀ - gardening ⠀ - sports⠀ - sandcastle building ⠀ - collecting⠀ - flying a kite⠀ - go on a adventure ⠀ - DIY projects ⠀ - learn a new skill⠀ - stargaze⠀ - mentor someone⠀ - create a Pinterest board ⠀ - many more...⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 What creative outlets do you do / want to do more of? ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough ⠀ ⠀ 📸 Pinterest
It can be a tough pill to swallow, but not everyone will get what you’re doing, how you’re doing it, or who you are. But that’s ok. ⠀ ⠀ We can’t expect everyone to understand. We can’t expect everyone to be on board. ⠀ ⠀ We’re all different, on different paths, and even growing at different rates. ⠀ ⠀ They just can’t see, and that’s ok. ⠀ ⠀ It doesn’t take away your value or strength or uniqueness, or purpose. ⠀ ⠀ Other people can’t take these away. ⠀ ⠀ Sometimes we’ve gotta let go of the unrealistic expectation that everyone will understand or get us or even like us. ⠀ ⠀ Let them have their opinion and you keep kind. ⠀ ⠀ You are already worthy, no matter what they think or can’t see. ⠀ ⠀ Just be you, everyone else is taken.⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x ⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
Note to self: the only difference between a bad day and a good day is MY ATTITUDE.⠀ ⠀ What attitude are you choosing to have today?⠀ ⠀ What are you focusing on? ⠀ ⠀ ? The problem, what’s wrong, what’s not working, what’s missing, what could be, seeing the situation as hopeless, seeing myself as useless...⠀ ⠀ OR the opportunities, the growth moments, the good things, what IS working, the moments of grace, the little joys, seeing the bigger picture, seeing my real worth and value... ⠀ ⠀ This little shift really does make all the difference. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 So, what attitude are you choosing to walk into today with? ⠀ ⠀ Let’s set our target and move towards it! ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough⠀ ⠀ 📸 @ariellevey
What are you grateful for today? There’s always something if we choose to look x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough ⠀ ⠀ 📸 @morganharpernichols
Just your reminder that no matter what you’re facing or how you’re facing it, you are MORE THAN ENOUGH. Right now. All of you. ⠀ ⠀ Nothing can take away your value - it’s who you are. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 Who could you encourage today? (It could be you)⠀ ⠀ It can be really hard to live like we’re enough, oh I’ve been there!! If you’d like some beautiful reminders and tools to empower you in the journey check out our website (link in bio).⠀ ⠀ We all need a reminder every now and then. ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
