Move it, move it

You know what I've been testing this week? Moving my body every single day.

It feels so good and for an old "non-athletic", it also feels empowering.

And especially on a week after the holiday when I feel more tired in my head because of early waking up, normal routines and uncomfortable amount of driving here in Uruguay this week, lol.

It actually happened quite spontaneously, what you see below.

Monday - Group pilates
Tuesday - Running with hubby
Wednesday - Biking with fam
Thursday - Group pilates tonight
For Fri - Sat - Sun I will be walking and taking slowly in all the Spring.

Pilates is actually my favorite right now from this list.

What's the one thing right now that feels the best way of moving your body to you?

Before I started running I never thought that moving your body would actually create more energy.

But then when you experience it and start to realize what movement does to you, it changes so much for you when you feel tired.

This thought can empower you into movement, when it becomes your perspective.

held

girl you think

you need to grow to
be more
become more
to earn your value
by doing and being
more

but that's not the
becoming
for you

you see, you are
unconditionally loved
already

and out of that place
you're invited to just
surrender
to be loved
like that

girl, just watch
how you are already
beautiful
capable
loved in all
who you are

the unveiling of your heart
for that love is
your becoming

that is you
finding what it means
and how it looks like
to live your life
fully out of that place

that you belong
that you are held
you're cherished
forever 💫

Here are your building blocks, babe

 

Think of it this way, that habbits are building blocks for a lifestyle.

Then close your eyes and think through what are your daily habbits?

How do they help you to build the lifestyle you want?

If they don't currently do that so well, remind yourself that you can start learning a new habbit with some simple steps.

You can choose the slow, simple route, that takes more work but most often helps you to build something more sustainable.

Think about it, in which area you really want to grow, for your simple steps.

I've shared before how a few years ago my steps were to put on my running shoes for 21 times.

And on a better day to go for a little run, sometimes just for two minutes.

Through some dedicated, simple work with myself I built a new habbit of running, eventually.

Yes it was hard, and the struggle was in my mind.

"BUT I am NOT athletic!" 

This echo was haunting me almost every time.

Yet with time, repetition and mind sweat I declared to myself: "I love to move my body." 

And that "I put my mind into changing my lifestyle in this area, with this simple step".

I could see how identity and habbits walk hand in hand.

What building blocks do you want to choose?

Can you see what new identity you are forming?

And which lifestyle it helps you to establish?

It is so beautiful, how your hard work with yourself can help you in resetting how you view yourself.

That's something worth working for, little yet powerful steps at a time, when you just keep going and loving yourself this way.

Girl, you lead

After that question, I could never go back to my old ways.

It stirred something in me, that had it"s own way working in my heart.

Something just clicked.

And I stepped out in the open, like there was no going back.

Are you hiding behind others expectations or leading your own way?

Boom!

There it was.

I'm still taking my steps with shaky legs and heavy head, breathing deeply.

Fighting those clouds full of echoes of distant "don't":s as I go.

But I can tell you this.

Think of it this way, that you are being handed a beautiful, spotless white linen where you can paint your colors in it.

And it's your life's work.

Do you then go around asking permitions from others?

It is yours.

So, no.

You just kindly pick your colors and enjoy the "Splash!"

As a good girl, I get it how it feels.

Arrogant, cold, selfish and the list has no end.

But why though.

Why live your own life like that, like hiding.

And thinking that stepping out as you, would be arrogant.

That it would be too much.

There is a difference of you serving through the deep, compassionate desires of your own heart.

And the cold hearted shutting beloved people out of your live, by you only choosing you.

These things don't need to be inclusive with each other.

As they are not equal scenarios.

You can serve through leading your own life and take people with you.

But not like, "I do what ever you tell me to do, 'cause you're the boss of me".

No, dear.

You are the boss of you.

You can be gentle but firm, while finding your way.

And you still have that priviledge of listening to your own heart, what does it tell you.

What is it that you love, dear?

What makes you feel alive, darling?

What brings  y o u  deep joy.

Take people with you as you follow these echoes.

Yes, do take them.

But you lead you.

Dear.

You lead.

I know it is beautiful, when you do.

And you can learn along the way.

What is the gentle and firm first step today, you might ask.

Ask yourself this.

Am I hiding?

You're beautiful dear, no matter what your answer is.

Just ask, will you?
