I absolutely loved listening to this Emma. I loved the glimmers at the end. Seeing customers on my mail route greeting me at the door is definitely a glimmer for me..
This was such a beautiful retrospective of your last couple years and the ways you have progressed!! <3
It’s also such a good reminder that the ways we put Main Character Energy into action will be different for each of us, and will totally change depending on what’s happening in our lives.
Like you, I was in survival mode for quite a while at the beginning…I would say for a year and a half all I did was go to work and go home, interacting with as few people as possible…I was a total hermit. I kept working out (probably more than I should have) because it was a way to physically get my feelings out, but I lacked in pretty much all other self-care…My supper most days was a quick protein drink and peanut butter-filled pretzels (pretty sure I ate my body weight in those!).
Fast forward to now, almost 3.5yrs (!!) out, and life feels totally different and I’m doing things to show myself care and compassion because I know I deserve it.
-I still prioritize my workouts, but I do it now because I love how it makes me feel and I know future me will benefit. I also take rest days when I need to.
-I give my body nutritious food…and some treats because they make me happy :)
-I balance time with my incredible friends and the solo time that I need.
-I’m going after an opportunity at work because I finally feel ready for a change and I feel that I’ll be able to handle it even though it’s kind of terrifying.
