set yourself free
Today, I am grateful for a job I can leave without guilt, pressure, stress, or fear. I am free to embark on a magical adventure in celebration of my 40th trip around the sun.
I am learning I have made great strides in setting healthy boundaries, in recognizing and naming my emotions, and in practicing compassion instead of comparison. And, that I still have significant room to grow in how I tie my self-worth to the opinions of others. I am acknowledging when it happens, but I am still seeking external validation.
I accomplished making it to my mat. This is critical for my wellness and keeps me in balance especially on days when I am overly excited or anxious.
I delighted in seeing a beautifully bright sliver of moon on my morning drive, in a kickass workday which was a wonderful way to close the books until I return, and in seeing a magnificent sunset. My day was bookended with beauty and full of wins. I am blessed.
