Wow, I am at Lessons 19 -21 or 30 by 31. This has been such a great journey, not just with sharing here, but all of the reflection that I have been having the past few weeks. I am not going to lie the past few weeks have been a roller coaster ride emotionally and mentally, but so much growth is happening. I know that growth is not at all comfortable. This point is brought close to home as I grow a baby in this belly of mine (who is getting bigger and stronger each day!).
Ok here are a few more lessons to share with you!
30 by 31, Lesson # 19: Cry Ugly. A good old fashioned cry releases so much more than moisture from your eyes. Tears are a beautiful thing that allow us to let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore to make room for what actually does.
30 by 31, Lesson # 20: Say No a lot. Saying no is easier said than done. We say a bunch of yeses and then feel overwhelmed. Even if a task is small, you have total permission to say no. Give yourself more space in your schedule to just be and roam.
30 by 31, Lesson #21: Take naps. I used to be like a little kid fighting sleep and not wanting take a nap. Naps are delicious things. They let us know that our mind and bodies need rest. Sometimes the wisest thing you can do is actually give into the urge and REST.
