Do you ever feel drained?
Feel like you get so caught up pleasing others you forget to please yourself?
Feel like you’re always the last thing on your priority list?
Feel like if/when you do get to please yourself you end up doing more harm than good? You get in your own head and start criticizing yourself?

Yeahh, welcome to being human. I want to remind you that you are a human BEING. Yes BEING! What does that mean? You are here to BE. Be present, be loving, be_____. (You can fill in the blank).

“You are here to BE. Be present, be loving, be_____ (you can fill in the blank).”

As humans, we are:

Our own worst critic.
Tend to love others more than our own selves.
Crave to be SEEN.
Want to be loved, valued, and feel enough.
Seek in others often, what we really want to seek in ourselves.
And are never “fully” satisfied. Once we reach, get, or achieve something we want, we take a second, a day, a week max and then we’re already searching for the next thing to satisfy us.

And all this is ok, it’s human. But let’s bring in the BEING. The very BEING that we are which is truly limitless. BEING is simply existence. And it’s as simple as… Just BE. Exist in the now and sit in your presence in all that you do.

“YOU ARE WORTHY OF BEING CELEBRATED AND YOU DON’T NEED A HOLIDAY TO DO SO.”

So TODAY, find something in your day to celebrate YOU! Yessssss! You are worthy of being celebrated and you don’t need a holiday to do so.

I want you to take a second to think about something you have right now that you wish you had at a point in your life. Celebrate that! Enjoy the accomplishment.

Now, I want you to think of something you received recently. It could be little or big. And celebrate that!

And now I want you to think about your senses. Your ability to SEE, your ability to HEAR, your ability to TOUCH, your ability to TASTE, your ability to SMELL, and your ability to FEEL. Celebrate that!

You are able to read these words right now. How beautiful is that?! Celebrate that!

For me, being able to go back to my high school and speak to my former dance team is celebrating me. It’s something I commit to doing once a year and it’s beautiful to share knowledge, wisdom, be a listening hear with a group of girls that I was once in their shoes. It’s also a moment for me to reflect and appreciate how far I’ve come. Sometimes when I celebrate me, I realize I celebrate we because we are all interconnected.

There is no formula to life. We are all on different journey’s, learning similar lessons in our own unique ways. And that’s what gives life so much sazon (seasoning/flavor). Life is full of adventure, surprises, ups, downs, and occasional flips. And you are here to be a human BEING during that process. Feel the blessings of humanness, and BE through it. Be present, be love, be _____. (Fill in the blank.)
