TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE.

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.

✨This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine✨🎼💡⠀ ⠀ Each and every one of us has a unique light ✨ that we bring into the world. ⠀ ⠀ But sometimes people feel threatened by our light and want to put shade on it, not understanding they have a unique light of their own. ⠀ ⠀ Let’s NOT be those that throw shade on others, that try to dim or cover the light within. ⠀ ⠀ And let’s NOT hide our own light - being blinded by comparison.⠀ ⠀ We don’t shine like others - our light is unique.⠀ ⠀ Let’s BE those that help others shine, that see the light in others and help brighten it. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 So who’s light can you brighten and help illuminate today? ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 How can you let your unique light shine bright? No comparison. No hiding. Just being you. ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
We all live in the unknown of the future - for some that excites us, and for some that terrifies us. ⠀ ⠀ We don’t know what’s gonna happen next, but right now, in this moment, we can choose our step. ⠀ ⠀ We can choose to step closer to who we really are, or run in the other direction.⠀ ⠀ We can choose to step into what helps us grow and mature, or run and hide in things that keep us stagnant. ⠀ ⠀ 🙋‍♀️ I’ve been doing this lately - knowing what would really make a difference in my life, but being too exhausted, too stuck in my comfort zone, too stubborn to work through the pain of letting go, too scared of surrender and being vulnerable, distracting myself and trying to escape. ⠀ ⠀ But that creates growth in the opposite direction to where I wanna go. ⠀ ⠀ So we get to choose our next step. And even if you’ve been running in the other direction to what’s really good for you, every new step is your choice.⠀ ⠀ We don’t have to go with the momentum we’ve created. We can shift and pivot and choose again.⠀ ⠀ So yes, the future is unknown, but you can influence your experience in the future with your next step. ⠀ ⠀ So let’s choose a step that helps us and others. ⠀ ⠀ Let’s be grateful for slow and steady growth - in the right direction. ⠀ ⠀ One step at a time lovely, that’s all you can ask of yourself. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 So, what step are you choosing to take? ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 What’s some steps you’ve taken lately that you can celebrate slow and steady growth? ⠀ ⠀ Love walking this journey out with you!⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough⠀ ⠀ 📸 the amazing @morganharpernichols
For those days when the waves 🌊 just keep coming, when your energy is low and your emotions are high, when you feel like you're sinking or endlessly wading through shallows... ⠀ ⠀ Look beyond. Look up. Look out. Look though. ⠀ ⠀ Keep your eyes on the still horizon. Lift your focus above the deep blue right in front of you.⠀ ⠀ See the painted skies, the glistening ripples as the sun rises, the clouds are passing, the air is fresh, things are changing 🌈✨ ⠀ ⠀ This current wave won’t last forever, it will pass. ⠀ ⠀ And as our fishy friend Dory tells us - just keep swimming. One swish at a time. You'll get there lovely.⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 Who else feels stuck in the waves of life? What’s a big wave you’re facing right now? ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 How can you look beyond what’s right in front of you to get perspective and see all the good things surrounding you? ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 Is there someone in your life that you know is struggling to stay above the waves? Can you paddle out and be with them in the middle 🏄🏽‍♀️🙋‍♀️⠀ ⠀ We’re all in this together 🎼💕⠀ ⠀ This week, let’s try and keep our eyes above the waves we face. See beyond 👀⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough⠀ ⠀ 📸 the talented @peak_creative
Don't let the opinions of others define you sweet one. They are opinions, ideas and judgements, not facts, not truth. ⠀ ⠀ Is it even our business what they think? That's just their personal view. And we all have a million opinions about everything - so many uninformed. ⠀ ⠀ We can never control how others see us but we can choose how we see ourselves.⠀ ⠀ So let's focus on what we can control and see ourselves as the beautifully amazing human beings we are, with so much to offer those around us and so much potential within us. ⠀ ⠀ Make the switch. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 Who's opinions do you need to stop worrying about?⠀ ⠀ It's not your business what they think anyways, it's just thoughts. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 And how are you seeing yourself? What's one thing you admire about yourself? ⠀ ⠀ Embrace it lovely. ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
Know who you are + know it’s enough 🌻✨⠀ ⠀ You my friend, are more than enough, just as you are. No matter what. ⠀ ⠀ Let your REAL identity bloom today. When you bloom, we all bloom. ⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 How can you remind yourself today that who you are is more than enough? ⠀ ⠀ 🙌🏻 We all need this reminder. Tag a few friends to encourage them. ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough ⠀ ⠀ 📸 Pinterest
“Through all that bends and breaks, you are still wrapped in grace” - MHN⠀ ⠀ No matter what’s been happening to you and around you, how broken or bent over you feel, you are wrapped in grace, strength and love.⠀ ⠀ No matter what you feel.⠀ ⠀ We’re standing with you lovely. You are not alone.⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough⠀ ⠀ 📸 by the amazing @morganharpernichols
WHAT WOULD I TELL MY YOUNGER SELF / MY SELF IN THOSE DARK MOMENTS?⠀ ⠀ “I remember so meticulously what all the dark moments of despair felt like. the depths that i felt i couldn't dig myself out of.⠀ ⠀ that delusion that i deemed as so real even though i knew at the same time was utter nonsense even though my brain was so befuddled that i couldn't think straight. ⠀ ⠀ i think that made it worse. knowing i was doing it to myself and that I did actually have power over it. ⠀ ⠀ i don't think a word anybody ever said would have made a difference. ⠀ ⠀ i had to do it myself. ⠀ ⠀ i cant pinpoint the exact time or moment that i did this but sometime in the last twelve months or so i must have just had a stuff it moment and thought that's it. ⠀ ⠀ this is not me. ⠀ ⠀ this not the life I want to live anymore. ⠀ ⠀ i don't want to just breathe. i don't want to just exist. ⠀ ⠀ i want to be alive and LIVE. i want to be alive and feel alive. ⠀ ⠀ i want to find what ignites my soul and i want my eyes to sparkle like i see in others when they're doing what they love. ⠀ ⠀ i want to be authentic. ⠀ ⠀ i don't want to live a lie anymore. ⠀ ⠀ and slowly it has just got better and better. ⠀ ⠀ i've been able to lunge and leap so many leaps of faith that not only i but others were beginning to believe id never make. ⠀ ⠀ i'd nearly died three times due to a rapidly faltering heart rate, through collapsing in dangerous places, and also through intentional overdoses. ⠀ ⠀ i cant believe how it used to be compared to now. ⠀ ⠀ life really is just getting better and better. ⠀ ⠀ so what i would tell myself is to simply hang in there because obviously know now from the future me talking right now that things will blossom beautifully as long as i stay alive to live it from then on. ⠀ ⠀ thank god i stayed alive. ⠀ ⠀ because there's so much to this life, so much beauty to this world that i never noticed, so many magical moments to meet with new people and memories to materialise and stay in my mind forever. i want to explore this earth!” - @gabu1ously⠀ ⠀ [keep reading in comments below + online]⠀ ⠀ Swipe to read Gabi’s powerful poem “REAL” that she wrote in inspiration for ChooseREAL. ⠀ ⠀ 💜👇🏻
So, I've been struggling with exhaustion, busyness and being overwhelmed, and constantly speaking this over my life - "I am so exhausted, I am so busy, everything is so hard and overwhelming" etc. ⠀ ⠀ I know how powerful our words and mindset are. And yet, I kept speaking this over my life. ⠀ ⠀ If this is what I'm proclaiming and focusing on, then that is exactly what I am going to experience. ⠀ ⠀ How can I experience anything else? ⠀ ⠀ But enough is enough. I don't want to experience that anymore. And I'm sure you don't either. ⠀ ⠀ ✨ The words we speak over our lives are so powerful. Often we need to re-word & re-frame how we say things. ⠀ ⠀ So I have decided to RE-WORD and RE-FRAME these challenges. ⠀ ⠀ Instead of "I'm so tired / exhausted"... ⠀ ⠀ I am being STRETCHED to GROW.⠀ ⠀ I am being REFILLED and STRENGTHENED.⠀ ⠀ Instead of "I'm so busy"...⠀ ⠀ I am PURPOSEFUL and ALERT and ACTIVE.⠀ ⠀ I am HIGHLY ENGAGED and ACTIVE. ⠀ ⠀ Instead of "It's too too hard / overwhelming"...⠀ ⠀ This is a REFINING CHALLENGE. ⠀ ⠀ I am ADVENTURING UPSTREAM. ⠀ ⠀ I am BRAVING ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. ⠀ ⠀ I hope this encourages you wherever you're at.⠀ ⠀ If you find you keep speaking words over your life that don't help, that hold you back, make you feel trapped and discouraged... ⠀ ⠀ Try re-wording and re-framing them too. ⠀ ⠀ If these ones speak to you, feel free to use them or find words that would empower you in the challenges. ⠀ ⠀ Maybe you want to reword the way you see yourself? Or how you handle challenges? Or your constant complaints? ⠀ ⠀ - This is an opportunity to learn something and grow.⠀ - I am strong enough to get through this.⠀ - I am more than enough, just as I am.⠀ - I am so worth loving.⠀ - This might seem impossible, but there's always a way.⠀ ⠀ Speak life. You've got this lovely!⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 So what are you choosing to speak over your life today? ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough⠀ ⠀ Repost from last year - but something I’ve been thinking about again and wanting to reframe the words I use.
"One terrible truth I've discovered is that sometimes we don't just have a bad day or a bad month, sometimes we have a bad year. ⠀ ⠀ Sometimes we feel like we have no control over the endless waves of bad luck we seem to be experiencing. ⠀ ⠀ But one thing you do have control over is your outlook. ⠀ ⠀ Your mindset is yours to control and as hard as it is to step back from the situation and have blind faith that things will change for the better, it's our only option other than ending up in a downward spiral." - Taylor Swift ⠀ ⠀ Yeah girl! It's time for a MINDSET CHECK. ⠀ ⠀ You get to choose your outlook. ⠀ ⠀ Even if it seems like you're stuck in the mud, you get to choose how you view it! ⠀ ⠀ Maybe it's a great opportunity for a rejuvenating mud bath, or a messy slip 'n' slide, or bringing back childhood mud pies! ⠀ ⠀ YOU get to label your situation. ⠀ ⠀ You get to choose how you see it. ⠀ ⠀ You get to choose how you will react. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Quick Tip - Step back from your situation and imagine you were giving advice to a dear friend who was in your same situation. What would you tell them? What would you encourage them to do? Listen to those wise words. ⠀ ⠀ If you feel so stuck in your situation, that's when it's great to call out for help. We all need help at times and this journey is so much better when we travel along with others. So reach out to someone and take some steps together. ⠀ ⠀ You get to CHOOSE... #ChooseREAL.⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
There’s a lesson in everything. And there’s no such thing as failure when you learn something. ⠀ ⠀ What opportunities have you been putting off because it seemed too risky? ⠀ ⠀ What’s the worst that could happen? It works out or you learn something about yourself, about others, something for next time?? ⠀ ⠀ Giving something a go and it not working out is NOT a failure. It’s part of the growth / learning process. ⠀ ⠀ How else are you suppose to learn if you’ve never done something before except through mistakes, set backs, unseen things that coming up, etc.⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 So what’s a risk you can take this week? It could be one little step or a huge leap. ⠀ ⠀ But remember, there’s no risk in failing - you’re learning, you’re growing, you’re figuring it out.⠀ ⠀ So courageous one, what have you been putting off? ⠀ ⠀ We’d love to stand with you! ⠀ ⠀ 💜Ruth x⠀ ⠀ #ChooseREAL #MoreThanEnough
