Walk Your Talk
I am currently in the middle of a wonderful book called ‘Wifedom’ by Australian writer, Anna Funder. Have you read it?
It has really got me thinking about how women are conditioned to support others (often in unseen ways) in the pursuit of their dreams, while her own desires and dreams often fall by the wayside.
It also got me wondering …
Why are we encouraging and supporting our kids and loved ones to live their fullest life and realise their greatest potential if we are living our own life from a place of depletion, fear, worry and limitation?
It doesn’t make sense that we would tell our kids one thing and then go about our own life doing the complete opposite.
Starting in childhood we are conditioned to behave in certain ways and play out particular stories because that is how it has been done for generations before us.
Do these stories and behaviours serve us? Not really.
Do they cultivate an unwavering self belief and a deep love for ourselves to rise and be who we really are? Definitely not.
Have you sensed the growing movement of women who are questioning the patriarchal ways that have informed our lives, and who are looking for new and satisfying ways to express ourselves in meaningfully in the world?
So how can we begin to untangle ourselves from these stories and behaviours?
How can you be THAT woman who unapologetically walks her ‘talk’?
Start here ⤵
Consciously choose YOU. Make the commitment to give yourself what you need each day. It could be a hug, a quiet cup of tea, some slow, deep breaths or whispering loving, encouraging words to yourself.
Make time for YOU. Schedule a couple of minutes each day to ‘be’ with yourself - at the same time and in the same place if you can.
Show up for YOU. Particularly when you really don’t feel like it. This is a practice in showing yourself that you are backing yourself and you are always there for you no matter what.
I would love to hear what you think!
Take care my friend and I encourage you to take that first step towards walking your talk 🧡
