I have these days. These days when I get up put my contacts in, get dressed go about my morning. I catch myself in the mirror and I think “I’m good looking!” I’m not checking out my sags and wrinkles and cellulite bumps… I just see a beautiful curvaceous woman. And then, I catch myself in a mirror, or take a picture, and I think: “holy shit! I am so fat and out of shape!”
Yes, all on the same day.
It’s funny how we think about ourselves can impact our day. How high we hold our head, how powerfully and beautifully we walk, our energy shifts in a situation. Nobody’s done that to me, I do it to myself! Heck most days my only interaction is with myself!
It impacts our confidence…in the moment. That’s why confidence is a journey!

You know these days don’t you? Like me, I am guessing you know how unhealthy it is to stay in the latter energy. Like me, shifting out of it and back into “damn I look good!” Is ultimately what we do when we have healthy self confidence.
Are you able to make that happen?

I recently hit my highest weight ever. I’m a pound and a half heavier than my previous highest weight ever. (For those of you who have weight that cycles, that sentence makes perfect sense!)
The first time I hit my highest weight I wasn’t even sure why. But I know as the weight went up, emotionally, spiritually, sensually, my energies went down. I no longer saw myself as me. I did not love who I had become. It impacted my relationships on all levels of success.
This time has been completely different. I realized that with aging, and having the severe back injury, perfect weight was going to be a tough goal. Heck! And I love to eat and drink as many of you know! (Although my bestie came for a visit and said our “cheat meals” are too healthy, lol! And she’s a nutrition and fitness coach!)
So this last year, limited in what I can do physically, I have worked to embrace my body image. To love what aging looks like. To see my round curves, and sags and dents as beautiful. To FEEL sexy. This time I am. I am vibrant and full of life as a result of that. And all of my relationships are better.
This is why I had to use my own program on myself! Yes, even coaches need some work, a tune up at times! I shifted energetically and all my relationships changed.

Our self-worth is our choice. No one else’s. You have to love you most first and relationships around you will improve.

When we are asked to “speak up”, we are being called to share our true expression of the situation. Be it an opinion for a family member, a thought on solving a problem, or even just a Facebook post!
Too often we think, but we don’t speak up.
Often it’s because there is a fear of what “may happen” when you make yourself vulnerable like that.
And “may happen” suffocates our true value…our self-worth.
It “may happen” they will be mad.
It “may happen” you will look stupid.
It “may happen” they will disagree.
It “may happen” you will hurt someone.
It “may happen” you will not.
It may happen that it will ALL happen. And that’s ok if you shared from a place of love and respect. Because you valued yourself enough to speak up.
