Treat Yo’ Self!

Getting on the train of self care, value and going out of our way to celebrate ourselves and the life we are living.
Does decorating for Halloween make you smile? Do you LOVE your apple cider or the smell of balsam for Christmas? Too often we allow the expectations or rules set by others to hold us back from tapping into the little things in life that evoke joy and goodness in our hearts.
Celebrate. You don’t need to come up with some crazy excuse of why you’re taking a bubble bath, going for a run, pursuing your masters degree or whatever it is that enhances your life….go for it.
Life is short. Every day is a gift. Repeat that to yourself. Take time to live, really live, enjoy the beauty in fresh air, a sunrise, a good cup of tea or whatever it is that fills your cup. Love yourself and don’t just say it, connect it with action.

Never Be Normal

Be you. Toss the feeling of having to conform to what you think others want you to be to the wayside. The reality is that there is no normal. It simply doesn’t exist. What does exist is one you. There are no replicas.
There are millions of people that are living life, but aren’t comfortable in their own skin. Who don’t really know who they are. It can be a somewhat slippery slope trying to be what you think you’re supposed to be or live up to the expectations of others.
In today’s episode we look at how to rock out being your authentic self and, with that, learning how to love who you are and who you were intended to be.
