1- Think of something you’re waiting to do until it can be done perfectly. Go do it … imperfectly!
–> This life was NEVER about being perfect. It has always been about learning & growing from experiences. Letting go of perfectionism and re-gauging your success meter to include imperfection, may be the greatest gift you give yourself!
2- Think of something from your past you regret doing. Forgive yourself, make it right if possible. Then Let It Go!
–> It might be the most important thing you do all week!!
3- Think of something from your past you regret not doing. Go do it now … even if it can’t be the same as it was then.
–> Make it happen! You just might surprise yourself!
4- Think of a time you found yourself telling a story in your head about something or someone else. Ask yourself “What if I’m wrong about that?” then take the opportunity to look inward and understand what that story is really telling you about yourself.
–> Congratulate yourself on better learning about SEEING REAL!
5- With honest introspection, find a place where you’re not BEING REAL with yourself. Give yourself a high five for starting to wake up and stop being blind to yourself in your life!
–> Now get ready to laugh with and liberally forgive yourself as you work more on BEING REAL!
6- Think of something in your life that you’re avoiding dealing with because it’s uncomfortable. Allow yourself a few moments to feel what you are feeling, without judgement or avoidance. Give yourself a little R A I N.
–> If the feelings are TOO painful or traumatic, find a counselor that can help you work thru them in a safe and healthy way. Realize you are stronger than you think you are and that you deserve to find peace! You are worth it!
7 – Take some time for yourself (solo time!) and ponder on how important YOU are. In your moment of stillness, ask God to confirm it. Learn to listen for His answer. Let go of how you ‘think’ it needs to look and let it be what it actually is.
–> You are SO important! And it is VITAL that you understand and believe that for yourself! God is already letting you know in a hundred million ways every day. Being able to SEE that for what it is will empower your life!
8 – Think of ONE nice thing you can do for someone. Go do it!
–> Start with ONE. Enjoy doing it. Don’t rush through it. Appreciate the joy of spreading kindness in this world.
9 – Smile at yourself and Give yourself a big hug. Honestly, do it!
–> This life is HARD, for everyone. You are doing a lot better than you think you are! Stop whatever you’re doing and take time to give yourself credit for that.
