What Will You Choose to Focus On
"Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you." Ralph Marston
You choose how you see your circumstances. You choose how you're going to react. You choose what you're going to focus on. You choose what/who you're going to listen to. You choose what you're going to give back. You choose who you're going to be. You choose what legacy you're going to leave. You choose how you treat yourself. You to turn challenges into opportunities. You choose your actions. You choose what you whisper to yourself. You choose how you'll approach this day. You choose your perspective. You choose your attitude. You have choice. You have the power. You choose.
SO what are you going to choose today?
Say it aloud!! Choose what empowers you. It's ok, sometimes we get it wrong. BUT we get to make another choice. So try again. Don't give up. You choose x
p.s. LOVE this photo from behind the scenes at our tee photoshoot. When girls just wanna have fun! Love the freedom and joy in their faces. It's a choice. They could have sat around bored and waiting for the time to pass in between, but instead searched out fun, found this random trolley and had "one of the best days ever". You can create anything in any circumstance... It starts with a choice x
I Am....
Fill in the blank. "The words "I am" are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you're claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you" - A.L. Kitselman
So claim your worth. Claim your REAL identity. Claim your purpose and potential. Claim your strength. Claim your dreams. Claim your progress. You are more than enough, just as you are.
Words are powerful. Comment "I'm [your name] and I'm more than enough" below. There is so much power is acknowledging your own worth and accepting yourself first. So let's be courageous together. You are amongst a squad cheering you on.
Who you can you P A S S I O N to? Tag them, share/repost, encourage those around you to claim their worth too?
Let's create a ripple effect together, changing our culture to one of COMPLETE ACCEPTANCE - of ourselves and others.
Yes we can. But it all starts with you first! x
Love is an Action
Yes, you. Love is action. Self-love is not how you feel about yourself. It’s what you do for yourself. You can only fully love yourself by DOING, not by just simply thinking.
Loving and accepting yourself is a journey and a daily choice, followed by daily actions.
It's not always easy, and we certainly don't always "feel" like loving and accepting ourselves... Especially when our reflection disappoints us, or we don't do well in an exam or let our friends down, get ourselves into a dangerous situation, or fall short of our goal, don't get that job we wanted, break up, mess up, stuff up, feel guilt and shame... It can be hard to "feel" love and acceptance in these moments/seasons.
But loving and accepting ourselves is more than a feeling, it's an action - even when we don't necessarily feel it.
It's about making DAILY CHOICES to love and accept yourself.
Choosing daily to nurture your health - eating well, sleeping, exercising, resting.
Choosing daily to refill and refresh - doing something that energizes you, that gives you joy and peace, time out, time to relax, rejuvenate.
Choosing daily to grow your mind - learn, discover, try something new, practice mindfulness, create solutions.
Choosing daily to be kind to yourself - forgive yourself, allow yourself to learn from mistakes, to take positive risks, to stop, to enjoy good things.
Choosing daily to allow your REAL self to be seen, being honest with where you're at, letting others in, expressing your passions, interests, opinions, talents, skills, loves. -
What can you DO today to show yourself love and acceptance? -
Start wherever you're at. Even one small action. You, just as much as anyone in the entire universe deserves your love and affection.
The more actions you take towards loving and accepting yourself >> the easier it gets >> you start to break down mindset barriers >> you start to FEEL loved and accepted >> life seems lighter >> you're able to better love and accept others... Let's take this journey together.
Let's share and encourage each other x
Your Story Counts
Today is a new day, a fresh start, a chance to begin again. You don't need to be trapped by yesterday or last week or last year. You can re-write your story at any moment.
Decide to put the past in the past - behind you, instead of letting it rule your future and blocking your view of what's possible.
Take a moment to reflect on that experience that seems to linger on. What can you learn from it? What good has come out of it? How have you changed because of it?
And now move on. It does not define you, you define it - so give it a chapter title that empowers you, and turn to a fresh, new page.
You can rewrite your story at any moment. You decide what perspective you'll have, what attitudes you'll bring, what actions you'll take. And even when we mess up, we can turn to a fresh page any time, and try again.
So breathe, and choose what you want your story to say today. It's up to you. Don't let others write your story for you. Be the author.
Your story counts.
What are You Speaking Over Your Life
"Let's speak to ourselves the way we speak to our loved ones" - Brene Brown. What words are you speaking over your life and others? Are you building up or tearing down? Are you imparting confidence or stealing it? Are you speaking truth or lies? Are you helping or hindering? Are you rejoicing or rejecting? Are you encouraging or criticizing? Are you speaking life or death/destruction? x
Your words and thoughts have such power. Let's make a conscious effort to speak worth, value, strength, understanding, kindness, encouragement, hope over our own lives and those around us.
What we say to ourselves affects how we connect with others, and what we say to others affects how we relate to ourselves.
So let's use our words to empower ourselves and those around us.
Repeat with us:
I am / you are loved and valued.
I am / you are wanted and belong.
I am / you are strong.
I am / you are capable of amazing things - and capable to face the little constant things too.
I have / you have infinite worth.
I am / you are smart and able to make decisions that empower me.
I am / you are brave.
I have / you have purpose.
I am / you are MORE THAN ENOUGH.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Everyday as you will be rewiring your thought patterns / brain.
You can also write your own list! Share with us to encourage others and take a stand for yourself. We are standing with you x
Life is Like Photography
Life is like photography - you need the negatives to develop.
Love this! Our challenges, trials, difficulties, struggles, times of waiting, heartbreak... All time take to develop into something beautiful... Character, strength, perspective, new beginnings.
But at the time, they can seem clouded in darkness, empty, no meaning, no light, hopeless, ruined... Just like a blank photo that the negatives haven't yet been developed.
BUT once those negatives have been developed (in darkness) they produce such incredible pictures of beauty... Just like you and me.
So yes! These challenging times are hard, but keep pressing through because what you can create out of it, can be the most beautiful picture of all.
TIPS during these times... keep looking for the light in your circumstances / life (what are you thankful for, what makes you happy - search for these things). Ask yourself, what can I learn through this? Who can I encourage today (it's incredible how taking our focus off our own situation and uplifting someone else can bring such freedom to us). Write down your reflections from the day, what could you do tomorrow to change just one thing? Talk to someone you trust / seek help. Remember that no matter what you're facing, you are more than enough! xx
Self Talk
Your S E L F T A L K matters and can shape your life.
Are you speaking worth, value, kindness, grace, acceptance, love, understanding, caring, encouragement over your life << OR >> being harsh to yourself, unforgiving, demanding, unkind, unrealistic, pressured.
Self talk check up - today, notice how you speak to yourself (or think) when good things happen, challenges arise, mistakes are made etc... How do you speak to yourself? Like a loved one or enemy?
Self talk booster - come up with a positive statement and repeat it over your life at least 7 times throughout the day.
E.g. I am capable and strong. I am valuable wherever I go. I have so much to offer and can bring joy to others. I am loved, I belong, and I am enough. I've got this. I am beautiful... Whatever speak to you. Repeat repeat repeat x
Your Worth
Your worth cannot be measured, it is infinite. Your worth cannot be removed, it is intrinsic. Your worth cannot be lost, it is always within - no matter what has happened, what you did, what they did, what you have or don't have, the path you took, the things that were said. You always have worth, and you are more than enough, just as you are!
Will you stand with us? We want to see a shift in our culture of girls (and everyone) embracing and celebrating their REAL identity and value, and living the life they CHOOSE.
Together, let's share the truth that WE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH, just as we are.
Just Be
You don't need to prove yourself or your worth. You don't need to change who you are to fit in. You don't need to hustle for approval and acceptance. You don't need to strive after unrealistic expectations to give you value.
Who you are is enough - MORE THAN ENOUGH. Don't listen to the lies of our culture dictating how you should look, act and live in order to be enough. You already are. So just be! Just be YOU! It's YOU that the world needs.
Let go of others' expectations today and just be. Breathe. Just be whoever YOU choose to be x
Speak Life
"If the words you spoke - about yourself and others - suddenly appeared on your face, would you still be beautiful? - Collete Werden . . .
Great questions to ponder. What do you say about yourself, how do you speak about others? Do we need a words lift (like a face-lift haha)... But seriously, let's let our true beauty shine through by being people who speak life and worth over others and ourselves. We are all worth it and more than enough!
What word or phrase can you delete from your vocabulary today? Let's do this together! x
You Have Worth
Your worth cannot be measured, it is infinite. Your worth cannot be removed, it is intrinsic. Your worth cannot be lost, it is always within - no matter what has happened, what you did, what they did, the path you took, the things that were said. You have worth, and you are more than enough, just as you are!
