Welcome back to H.E.R. Story! My hope for you is that the first month of January was nothing short of spectacular. In one month, I have been able to learn so much about myself. Now that January is ending and February is beginning, one thing is at the forefront of my mind: it's time to tap back in. I've realized that in different seasons of our life, we often trade parts of ourselves for other parts. Maybe you're in a grind season, so more of your hustle side is showing up more than the side of you that enjoys rest and relaxation. Maybe you're in a season of isolation, so the side of you that enjoys being around others has been tucked away. It's understandable why we switch off certain parts of ourselves in certain moments because let's be very real sometimes we have to. In certain cases, us learning how to do this has been a part of how we survive in this world.
The bottom line is that I get it. I've been shutting off parts of myself for awhile now without even fully realizing what I've been doing. Today, in a new month, I am choosing to start fresh and tap back in with who I am at my core. I've allowed worry, doubt, and so many other things to creep into my mind that I've lost me in a sense. At heart, I am a true creative. I love creating in whatever capacity: cooking, painting, trying a new hairstyle, curating unique content, etc. Underneath all of the things that I've been occupying my time with is the girl who desperately wants to be authentically her.
We make up excuses for why we can't be or do the things that we desire to do in life. We convince ourselves that it's not the right time or that we don't have the resources. We tell ourselves that being us costs too much and that it's not worth the investment right now. Sweetheart, yes it is. Don't you realize that when you're being your most authentic self everything flows more? You feel so much lighter and at peace when you reconnect with who you are and allow yourself to walk in that. You are more able to think more clearly when you tap in with you.
So today, as we are entering into a new month, I'm telling you to do the thing. Whatever it is that you've been neglecting that brings you joy and makes you who you are, find it. For me, it's being creative. I plan on doing something as simple as making charm bracelets as a fun way to get back to it. It's time. You've tucked parts of yourself away for long enough.
