choices (Patreon)

Hi my loveliest of lovelies! 🌻☀️How's the season treating you lately? What choices do you want to make that will support what you desire and need?It can feel so pointless or unmotivating to make the little choices for yourself every day or week that you know are good for you, especially when the change isn't something you'll see right away.I notice this when I fall out of my yoga practice. The aches, stress and stiffness don't show from just a few days missed, but the consistent choice not to show up for myself.In the same way, my inner monologue/voice is much more kind and supportive than it used to be, but I have no idea when that happened. It was a gradual shift from - if I may be bold for a minute 😭😤 - hard work on myself.My therapist taught me to ask myself: "what would my compassionate self say/do here?", and not just make space for my "performance self". And to make little choices in my everyday life that sent the message of care and love. It sounds silly, but when I'd mess up and hurt myself intentionally, I would literally vocally say sorry to myself!Anyway, haha, I'm writing this because there's some habits I still want to shift, and I needed the reminder that change is slow. 🐌 I also want to celebrate how big of a difference little choices can make over time. Like choosing to be kind to yourself even (or especially) in the little everyday things. 🌻💛I'd love to hear some of your ideas for things you can do to send the message of compassion and care to yourself? Like drinking your coffee in your favourite spot instead of on the go, or making time for a hobby you enjoy? okay that's all for this mushy post thehe ☀️Love you!!!!
