Showing Up, Even When You Don't Feel Like It

Hey Love,

Change can feel like an elusive thing. Sometimes we are blessed with a transformative experience and it’s as if a switch flips. We are gifted with a new way of looking at things and are forever different from that moment forward. But more often, growth can appear achingly slow and be really subtle. We can feel stuck, trapped in a seemingly endless loop, just waiting for some sign of progress.

Fortunately, one of our greatest strengths as humans, is our ability to always change, evolve, transform. While you might not be able to see it right now, that possibility of a different future is always there.

Here is some inspiration to help you keep showing up and doing the work, even when you (really) don’t feel like it:

Nothing feels better than action: While getting started can feel torturous, the sense of pride, joy and even relief that comes with accomplishment is so worth it. If you want to instantly improve your outlook on just about anything, take action, no matter how small, and let that mood booster kick-start your momentum.

The journey is the jewel: We can be so goal-oriented and future-focused that we completely miss all the goodness that lays in the journey. So much can be gained by shifting your mindset and approaching whatever you are facing with curiosity, excitement and appreciation for the entire experience, not just keeping focused on the end.

Consistency creates change: Whether you can commit to 5 minutes or 50, just sitting down to do the thing, on a regular basis, is what truly super-boosts change. One of the top “secrets” the most successful people say helped them achieve their dreams is simply putting in the time, day after day, even when they got no likes, views or sales.

It takes resilience and fortitude to keep showing up, but these are qualities I know you have. Keep in mind too that along the way, your goals might change and you might end up wanting something completely different. So allow yourself that opportunity to flow and continue evolving as you go.
