EP138: Accepting Where You Are

Published: May 18, 2023, 7 a.m.

There\u2019s nothing wrong with admitting you\u2019re not feeling your best. Life doesn\u2019t require you to be everything to everybody all the time. This episode talks about accepting where you are in each moment.

I\u2019m managing health challenges lately and feeling better. During this journey, I felt like crap from time to time, but this path taught me a lot about my changing needs and availability. The ups and downs gave me the opportunity to accept where I am in each moment.

I\u2019m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP138\u2019s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Accepting where you are means that you communicate your needs and priorities with those who are around you. Starting to embrace where you are also means you learn to be present whether you\u2019re by yourself or loved ones. Your needs change, the moment you acknowledge a change is a step towards honoring your priorities.

On our Wise Walk, I talk about accepting where you are so that you can take care of yourself. Honestly, I\u2019m witnessing my own evolution as I navigate the medical issues and release expectations. You can offer yourself the same grace as you continue your True Stride. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:

  • Where in your life can you apply the lesson of accepting where you are, from moment to moment?\xa0

  • What are you filling your calendar with and are those activities bringing you joy?

  • Do you have opportunities to give yourself grace and release expectations?

  • How are you honoring yourself in this moment so your future self can be even stronger?

Doesn\u2019t it feel great to get in touch with your best self? When you pay attention to self care, you\u2019re more likely to have other opportunities to embody the best version of yourself. If you don\u2019t pay attention, you stay out of alignment longer than needed.

Give yourself permission to honor yourself and your condition in this moment so your future self can be even stronger and freer. Take care of yourself with these Wise Walk questions:

  • Are there opportunities to release self-limiting beliefs?

  • Can you be more vulnerable to receive support?

  • If you have plans coming up, are they aligned with your #1 priority?

  • Are you honoring your priorities with healthy boundaries?

  • In what ways are you taking care of yourself in each moment?

Join this inspiring community to uncover a new sense of freedom, and be sure to follow and review the True Stride podcast as we continue to exchange our light and Heart Value with each other.
