Hi my love,
I realized something the other day: I had just experienced two of the most incredible weeks.
Every morning I woke up feeling genuinely good and it felt like no matter what happened, nobody and nothing could ruin my day.
For the first time in a while, I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from my chest.
There were many things that had contributed to that weight. I had been writing my first book, balancing an incredibly busy schedule, and managing my perfectionism throughout the entire process, lol.
Somewhere in the midst of trying to achieve greatness, I think I lost touch with a part of myself.
I have always been an ambitious person, but ambition can so easily turn into burnout when you convince yourself that everything is urgent and every outcome is yours to control.
When I asked myself what I had been doing differently during those two weeks, I realized that I had been consciously letting go of everything I could not control.
I know. It sounds simple enough.
But when life becomes busy, the simplest truths are often the easiest to forget.
Whenever I remind myself of the importance of detachment, I enjoy my life more. I laugh so hard that I almost cry. I dance in public without worrying about who might be watching. I allow myself to make mistakes, laugh at myself, and learn as I go.
I am writing this to remind you that life feels so much better when you can breathe. When you remember what it means to be alive, instead of constantly trying to prove that you are doing life correctly.
Moving forward, I am not trying to chase or recreate those two weeks. I simply want to keep reminding myself of what made them possible: letting go, being present, and giving myself the freedom to fully express who I am.
Maybe you needed that reminder too.
P.S. If you are struggling to become the version of yourself you know is waiting on the other side, my new book, The Woman on the Other Side, is officially out now. The title probably gives away the heart of it. It is about releasing the patterns keeping you stuck and becoming the woman you have always sensed within yourself.
