Daily 1% x 228: Be Awesome
Wednesday, 20 July, 2022
“BE AWESOME” A couple of years ago that 👆quote was being said everywhere Posters were being made It was a thing It was trendy to have stuff that SAID: be awesome. What does it even mean to BE AWESOME? Let’s make a list: Know who you are Show up big Do hard things Be on fire Create epic stuff Be willing to do scary ideas Not back down Stay positive Have courage Don’t listen to haters Keep going All of these are good. Inspiring. What about: 🌟Loving yourself even when you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning 🌟Letting yourself take a nap 🌟Noticing your body and listening to it 🌟Saying no 🌟Going to bed when you want to stay up late 🌟Turing off your phone 🌟Letting yourself be sad or mad or glad or frustrated and feeling into it on purpose 🌟Celebrating yourself 🌟Giving yourself a pat in the back 🌟Having a one person dance party when you hit that goal: big or small 🌟Taking a walk 🌟Saying yes to you 🌟Slowing down Often, when we think of being awesome It’s the big showy positive in-your-face types of things we consider But The truth is The big showy things aren’t what make you awesome I’m fact, YOU ARE ALREADY AWESOME. YOU AND ME, we arrived on this planet with this tattooed on our soul: AWESOME Being awesome isn’t up for debate or discussion We already are We may not believe it Nothing has gone wrong if you don’t believe in your own awesomeness I didn’t believe in mine I wanted other people to tell me about my awesomeness I looked for it in projects and accomplishments All of us do Until we stop Until we start seeing the ways we’ve hurt ourselves And we start putting salve on those wounds Beginning to love our already existing awesomeness Accepting our awesomeness Even when we do things we don’t like It’s in how we treat our selves on the way to those big showy things that make us see and love and allow our awesomeness. Saying I love you to yourself even when you do things you wish you hadn’t Celebrating yourself when it seems too small Seeing your fire for its ability to both burn AND warm Loving yourself for all of it Seeing your desire for quiet and aloneness AND being visionary Not judging yourself for any of it Seeing your emotionally messy self AND your ability to hold someone’s pain so carefully Be willing to love both parts of you. Seeing you desire for structure, order, control AND your ability to make things simple for others Embracing both without shaming yourself Seeing your all-over-the-place-thinking-and-talking AND your bubbly engaging fun self Giving both parts a grateful hug. This is where your awesomeness lies. In all of it. Stop judging you BE YOU: AWESOME What are two contrasting things about you? Ready to embrace ALL of YOU? Click here to get started.
