Unapologetically

Hey! Happy Tuesday!

I'm gonna go ahead and get right into it today.

You know those moments you have, when you're alone, in your car, or your room, or the bathroom (don't judge) and you just have a realization of how much YOU rock. How great you are? How kickass you are at life?

I know you've had them. I know you have.

I'm here today to suggest that perhaps you have more of those little moments. A lot more. Like maybe just rock that vibe 24/7 and wear it like your favorite t-shirt.

Rock. That. Shit.

You're amazing. You are. I know you are.
I know how good your intentions are, I know how hard you try to do the right thing, I know you're getting a sweat on as often as you can get your ass out to, I KNOW you are trying. I know you're doing your best. I want to congratulate you on that. Like a real, honest, pat on the back for being you.

It's hard, right? To be you, AND to love you? It's hard sometimes. Especially when other people's silly perceptions of you come out. What is that, anyway? No one knows you better than you. No one.

YOU know the great lengths you go to for other people, YOU know how much self control you've exhibited lately, YOU and only YOU know how much life progress you've made (minor mess-ups, or not).

I'm sure a lot of you caught wind of Taylor Swift's new song today, or recently:

Talk about a feel-good jam. I can't turn that shit off. I can't. It's literally on repeat right now and I can barely contain my desire to get up and dance and SHAKE IT OFF.

Stupid, idiotic, annoying stuff happens to us every. single. day. It's never fun. It's never easy. It's always super disruptive to our zen vibes we try and maintain. But it's always worth it to take Tay's advice and "shake it off".

So the next time your coworker, or your family, or your BFF, or your bf/gf is just

HARSHING YOUR MELLOW

I want you to cool it. I want you to remind yourself that they, too, are doing their best. Sometimes people's best's are not stellar. We all have those moments.

Forgive them and move along. Forgive them and then have that thought.
That thought that reminds you that you're killin it. You're rockin it.

There's no one out there doing it like you. Not one single person who could replicate what you bring to the table. You're a class all your own and you're at the top.

Go ahead, take those positive affirmations! Take them and run! Give yourself a damn hug!

Be unapologetically YOU.

I LOVE YOU.
