Hellluuuu pumpkin! 👋🏼
A brand new week ahead of us and the question I have for you today is — what have we been postponing using the lamest excuses ever? 😎
Oh yeah, I said that! Lame excuses!
Let’s back up and rewind for a bit…
This weekend, my phone was playing tricks on me.
It was showing me all sorts of throwback pictures that REALLY got me in my feelings! Oy…
This picture is one of the ones that came up and it melted me! 👇🏼
My latest trip to Italy, almost 3 years ago!
Through all this pandemic one thing that kept circling back in my mind because of it:
💭 “Raine….you really CAN NOT postpone things you want to do out of fear anymore! This was it!”
Here’s the thing love:
The year of this trip I was scheduled to have not one, not two but THREE international trips!
Just for fun!
But the third one? Never happened.
Fear mixed with a feeling of “who do I think I am to be traveling internationally three times in the same year just for fun like that? Who does that if not those fancy millionaires?”
And so I went on to doing some more “responsible” things.
Said responsible things got me settled for a whole other year and right when I finally was ready {and booked!} to take off again… *ahem* in April 2020…. well, things turned upside down as we know.
So love, on this fine sweet Monday I want to remind myself and you as well that the message has been very clear in this past year:
Shutting ourselves down, our excitement, our calling with fear, “shoulds” for being “responsible”, or thoughts of “who do I think I am” for doing things that people close to me don’t usually do, really does nothing good.
Really nothing! Waiting for a “better time” is not it!
As you go through your week find some time to tackle those excuses on pen + paper. {Because of course 😎✍🏼}
Journal on:
- What have I been postponing?
- What are the excuses I have been using to justify said postponement?
- Are those excuses real obstacles to doing the thing?
- What truly is going on underneath those perceived obstacles?
See what you come up with, love.
Because there’s no need to keep nurturing those excuses anymore.
There’s never a better time then now to get rolling! 🔥
Many Smooches,
