What does it mean to live authentically for you?

What does it mean to live authentically for you?

I used to not know the answer to this question. I was so disconnected from myself, running on autopilot that I had no idea what would spark that passion inside me.

You don’t need to know where you’re going in order to move forward, you just need to know how you want to feel.

The more you channel that energy, the more you open yourself up to things that will align with you.

If you’re not sure what that authentic version of you looks like, here’s the first step to figuring it out: write down your ideal FEELING.

• What would be your first thought waking up
• How do you want to FEEL as you move throughout your day?
• What would be your last thought before falling asleep?

The more you embody the feeling of someone who is living authentically for themselves, the more you move as that person, and the more the dots connect.

You got this. ✨

That crazy big dream of yours isn’t that crazy.

That crazy big dream of yours isn’t that crazy.

How do I know? Because I’m living my crazy big dream, and I’m no one special.

What if I told you everything you ever wanted in life was attainable?

We live in a world full of endless abundance and we’re all worthy.

Entertain the idea that your life could be different. That this isn’t as good as it gets.

In order to be someone you’ve never been, you ne

In order to be someone you’ve never been, you need to do things you’ve never done.

Leveling up isn’t just about meditation, journaling and manifestation.

It’s about pushing through when you want to quit. It’s saying “yes” to your dreams when everyone is telling you to say “no”. It’s giving up everything you’ve ever known and starting over. It’s walking away from people, places and things that try to pull you down. It’s betting on yourself.

And after all that beautiful messy work, you will understand why it was worth it.

There is no energy out there that is stronger than

There is no energy out there that is stronger than me.

This is an old affirmation of mine that I would say when I first started the journey of accepting my emotions.

Being sensitive and emotional was always considered a negative growing up. Stop crying. It’s not that big of a deal. Calm down. Why are you so upset?? I fought for so long with myself because I thought something was wrong with me. Why can’t I just be normal?

I believed that because I easily showed emotions, it meant I was weak. Not the case. I was strong because I could feel.

So many of us block out emotions because we are afraid it makes us weak. Letting someone so visibly see what affects us gives them control.

No my dear, it gives you control. Having the capacity to feel is the greatest strength out there. And you can handle it.

Most of us spend so much time proving our worth. W

Most of us spend so much time proving our worth. Whether that’s through our career, our relationships, our possessions, etc. But what do we actually have to prove? And what do we actually gain from this?

I challenge you to entertain the idea that life isn’t meant to be hard.

You aren’t meant to work your ass off for years just to look forward to retirement. You aren’t meant to settle for that mediocre relationship just to keep up with everyone else. You aren’t meant to spend all your money just to prove you’re happy.

You’re meant to indulge in your passions. You’re meant to experience love that you didn’t know existed. You’re meant to live in effortless abundance.

The point of life is not to “push through”, the point of life is to experience it all. Life doesn’t have to be that hard.

I was speaking to someone the other day and they a

I was speaking to someone the other day and they asked me, “what’s one thing you would change about yourself? But wait. Really think about it before you answer.”

So I took a minute to think, then replied, “I wish I was more assertive.”

He told me that the ideal answer is actually “nothing”. There are things we may want to work on and improve but there is nothing to change because it all makes us who we are, which is generally good people.

I sat with this idea for awhile. I’d been burned many times in my life and always chalked it up to being my fault. If I was more assertive I wouldn’t have been taken advantage of. If I stood my ground no one would have tossed me around. My self-worth was so deeply attached to the way people treated me I thought I needed to change who I was in order to be happy.

But it’s not about changing who I am, it’s about changing the way I experience life. I pulled some cards last night, because duh, and twice the dog came out. The dog is a symbol of pure, unconditional love. I am pure, unconditional love. Some people can’t handle that type of love. BUT some people can.

I’m beginning to recognize who feels good and who feels bad, who is for me and who isn’t. When you allow life to flow, people flow accordingly. It’s not about me becoming more assertive, it’s about feeling into whether someone is ready to receive the type of love I have to give. And none of this is connected to self-worth. It’s all just the human experience.

Being kind to yourself isn’t just about positive

Being kind to yourself isn’t just about positive self talk and feeling into your emotions. It’s about breaking the social conditioning that made you feel like who you are isn’t “enough” to begin with.

I grew up always feeling like I wasn’t “enough”. Not loud enough, not opinionated enough, not fun enough, not smart enough, not fast enough, not GOOD enough for the world.

The truth is I’m just not what society says “enough” is. Because I’m the opposite. I’m an observer. I’m patient, I’m kind, I’m flexible, I’m grounded, I’m nurturing, I’m accepting, I’m feminine. I’m in a constant state of flow and I’m okay if things change.

I wasn’t meant to be the loudest person in the room or to share my opinion on everything. I’m meant to listen and hold space for others. I’m meant to honor and nurture. I’m meant to be slow moving.

Once I started to accept this about myself it didn’t matter what other people thought or that they didn’t understand me. I understand me. And I know that I’m enough.

Anyone else struggle with perfectionism? “I can

Anyone else struggle with perfectionism?

“I can’t do x, y, z until I create the perfect plan.”

“If I could just find the perfect routine and do it everyday, I’d be winning at life.”

The act of trying to be more efficient with our lives can actually slow us down. You never do x, y, z because you haven’t created said perfect plan. Or your whole day gets thrown off because your morning routine wasn’t up-to-par.

Perfectionism puts us in a box and actually limits us. We become so fixated on structure we forget to flow. We’re human beings with energy that is constantly shifting. The same routine could energize us one day and drain us the next.

As I’ve become more in tune with my body, I try to ask myself often, “what would empower me in this moment?” The answer to this question depends on the time of day, my physical energy, and my emotional energy. Some moments I may need to get a project done for work, others I need to take a bath or read.

When you intentionally tune into what you REALLY need, you’re opening yourself up and allowing yourself to receive. Life is all about the flow, so make sure it makes sense for you. ✨

Picking up my life and moving across the country h

Picking up my life and moving across the country has been the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ll tell you why:

Living in Maryland, most people I was surrounded by were people I grew up with. They had seen me through middle school, high school and college. A lot of them had preconceived notions of me. That’s okay, we all do, but I was having a difficult time fully detaching myself from those past versions of myself or what people saw when they looked at me.

I was a people pleaser, reactive, and selfish at times. My frustration came from within myself because I didn’t know how to live the life of someone I wanted to be. I was trying so hard to be everything to everyone and I was still unhappy in the process.

Sometimes you need to take that big leap of faith and go find yourself. San Diego was that for me.

I needed to remove myself from the life I had created to fully pursue my dream life. I needed to block out the people who were doubting me and surround myself with the ones who would cheer me on. The ones who are living the life I want to be living.

I’ve come so far in the past 7 months it’s actually INSANE to think about.

The world is so much bigger than you think and you really are capable of anything you want. Start dreaming and opening yourself up to that potential.

Change is scary and rightfully so. Growing, evolvi

Change is scary and rightfully so. Growing, evolving and stepping into who you truly are isn't supposed to be easy, but it is worth it. Sometimes those big dreams and big goals can seem daunting. Limiting beliefs come up and doubt sinks in. Next thing you know you're stagnant.

Lately I've been practicing the art of entertaining. Entertaining a thought, an idea, a dream, a vision.

This is the ultimate baby step. What if, for 5 minutes, you speak with that recruiter, you research that new city you want to move to, you throw that business idea out to your friend? Without any expectations. Just to see how it feels?

This little trick has gotten the ball rolling on a lot of soul projects lately that I can't wait to share.

5 WAYS TO GET BACK INTO THE GYM. Been super focuse

5 WAYS TO GET BACK INTO THE GYM. Been super focused on curating the perfect gym routine so here’s the tips to get going:

1. Commit to the same time everyday. You’ll get into the routine of going and seeing the same people all the time is less intimidating.

2. Make it easy. Set out your clothes the night before & pack your bag.

3. Go first thing in the morning. No time to convince yourself out of it. Get up, leave the house before you know what’s happening, and get it done.

4. Listen to a motivational speech. As soon as I wake up I pop my headphones in and put one of those bad boys on. Works like a charm.

5. Create accountability. Hire a trainer, commit to a class, hop on someone else’s routine, join a challenge (thanks @michaelarenaeee ). Make skipping the gym more difficult than going.

You got this. 💪🏻

I know I’ve only been here six months, but it’s crazy how many cool little gems are in this city. I feel like I’m not allowed to leave until I see it all, might take awhile..

What you do on your good days determines how you h

What you do on your good days determines how you handle your bad days.

The gratitudes, the affirmations, the self reflection, the clean diet, the exercise. It’s all in preparation.

What I’ve come to learn is this: you can’t avoid difficult situations. Life isn’t supposed to be rainbows and butterflies. But the small effort you put into yourself everyday allows you to keep going on the darker days.

You switch from saying “this is hard I can’t do it” to “this is hard but I’m moving forward anyways”

Resilience, strength, and bravery become words that people define you by. You show up for the ones who need you most. You become an example of what we are all capable of at our core and how we deserve to live.

That is why we do the work.

Friday Favorites, but with a twist.

What I’m grateful for this week:
• my February read - Think Like A Monk
• the ability to travel when desired or needed.
• the ability to work from home
• San Diego’s beautiful sunsets.

PLOT TWIST: it’s the journey not the destination

PLOT TWIST: it’s the journey not the destination.

Happiness comes from the process. The grit, the grind, the growth, the evolution.

Your accomplishments mean nothing without the effort you put in to get there. But if we’re so focused on achieving, we lose sight of what we already have and how far we’ve already come.

Achievement is not enough. There is always going to be more to do. Let go of that idea of “I’ll be happy when...”

Be happy now. Embrace the journey.

Wooo I’m back on social! Will post a life update

Wooo I’m back on social! Will post a life update soon but for now just want to get back in the groove of things. I missed you guys. 🖤

If you could do anything you want with your life,

If you could do anything you want with your life, what would you do? Write it down. Every detail.

I’m not kidding.

Where do you wake up? What time do you wake up? What does your bedroom look like? How do you spend your mornings? What is your job? What car do you drive? How do you dress? What career do you have? What’s your personality? How do you show up for the people you care about? How do you fuel your body? Do you workout? Do you cook? How do you spend your evenings? How do you relax and unwind? How do you prepare for the following day? What time do you go to bed?

Now. What if I told you that who you are right now in this moment is already capable of living this life?

You read that right.

Who you are right now in this moment is already capable of living this life.

Our minds trick ourselves to think “once I achieve this, I can have this.” Well let me ask you something: what kind of person do you think you need to be to achieve “this”? Probably the person you just wrote about.

We don’t achieve and then become the person we’ve always wanted to be, we become the person we’ve always wanted to be and then achieve.

So that person you just wrote about? Become them. As much as you can. Wake up at that time. Decorate your bedroom that way. Spend your mornings exactly how you want to. Start that side gig. Research that car. Start switching out your wardrobe. Start showing up for others in the way you desire. Start eating that way. Start working out that way. Start cooking. Start relaxing. Start preparing.

That’s how you change your life.
