New Month, New Choices

Has to be about 10+ years ago now - I'd posted on FB, 

"Today's the first of the month AND a Monday! It's a great day to start something new!"

A college roommate promptly commented, "Who the HELL are you & what did you do with Jen Liddy?"

OMG - flames rose to my cheeks. I was mortified - straight up called out!

Who was I - the negative, snarky, cynical, dark person she'd always known - to be CHEERY, positive, and forward-focused?

When that post shows up on TimeHop - or FB Memories, there's a little bit of cringe impact left over...

But now I use that memory to remind myself that we are ALLOWED to change.

We're ALLOWED to revise how we see ourselves & the stories we carry.

Who am I if I'm not sarcastic, darkly witty, snarky, & negative?

Who am I if I'm not complaining and judging EVERYTHING?

For a long time, I was staying "who I was" because I didn't want to answer to questions about "who I was becoming".

Might that be a thought holding YOU back from what you want to become?

What is it for you? What is it YOU'D love to start becoming this month?

A writer? A business owner? A wealthy person?

A great marketer? Someone who writes amazing emails?

A more attentive friend? More accepting of yourself?

Today is August 1st. A Sunday. A new week. A new month.

It also happens to be Lammas Day - the exact halfway point between Summer & Fall.

What DO YOU want to create this month?

Just decide - let the people who question you question you. When you start to change, they are scared of what it means for THEM.

But you don't have to explain, define, or answer to it.

You only have to answer to YOURSELF.

Respond & tell me - what's ONE thing you'd love to accomplish this month?

**And that could be self-care, a morning meditation practice, a daily nap, more time eating at home...

WHATEVER it is, I'm here to receive it!

xo, Jen
