2019
I want to do and be the things that I admire.
I want to show up for people. I want to take action. I want to be active.
And that is my theme this year.
I want to give more time to the things that matter... and to me, that means relationships (including the one I have with myself and body).
I want to "be measured by things I can control, by who I am and who I am trying to become."
I can control so many things in my life, and I yet, more than I'd like to admit, I fixate on the things that I can't. It's funny how human beings do that.
Isn't it?
So to start, I want to continue to show up for me, healing on the inside and taking care of myself so that I can be available to others.
Self-care is continuing on my Instagram page @rachelleshappy and sharing #mybodyesteemjourney. Connecting with people that have gone through the same struggles, holding hands, and swimming through the muck together.
Self-care is traveling more with my husband and kids, exploring, re-inventing, understanding.
Self-care is staying at home and vegging out while catching up on movies or series or reading a really good book, all alone.
Self-care is being present, collecting small moments of joy and connecting them to feel encompassed fully by life.
Show up, be active, take action.
