This is why I’m doing a FREE 5-day reconnect with yourself challenge! For the busy mums who feel like they are constantly pouring into everyone else and never do anything for themselves.

Making steps an early win to start the day changed how I feel starting the morning.
Helps stack wins at the start of the day and also no excuses can impact creating those wins.

I could feel myself starting to spiral.

•Looking at my stomach.
• Looking at my body.
• Looking for proof that the last 75 days had “worked.”

Then I caught myself because if my best friend sent me those exact photos and said: “I barely changed.”
There is no way I would agree with her!

I would remind her:
• body has carried 3 babies.
• Showed up for yourself for 75 days.
• Got stronger.
• moved your body everyday.
• Started making different choices to better your health.
• Did the difficult things even when you’d rather sleep in.

You created habits that you should be so freaken proud of!

That made me realise something: why was I so willing to give her compassion, perspective and encouragement but not myself?

Because the biggest change wasn’t necessarily what I could see in the photos; it was everything that had started to feel normal.

Showing up for myself, moving my body, being more conscious of what I put into it, catching the spiral quicker and not abandoning myself the second an old thought showed up.

Maybe that is the part we miss.
We look for visible proof that we have changed, while completely overlooking the fact that our patterns have changed.

Not look dramatically different, but the woman living inside it feels fu***ng different and so I realised

The win is not that the old thought never comes back, the win is:
• you catch it faster.
• you speak to yourself differently.
• you come back to yourself sooner.

Sometimes it exact what you need because dancing around isn’t gonna get you anywhere

Let me know what comes up for you?
