Picture this: You’re standing inside of your dream home. The house is filled with everything that you have ever wanted. This home has it all; the decor, the fixtures, those custom details that only you know the secrets of. You think to yourself, “Ahhh, this is it. I’ve made it.”
You step into the main living area, the heated floors under your feet. There is a twinkle of morning light hitting the edge of your marble fireplace. The sight stops your pace and you catch a glimpse of yourself in the hall mirror. Then, that same glow edges your face and you cannot stand your own reflection. The fine lines. The tired eyes. The negative self-talk you know so well makes her grand entrance. “Ugh, look at you! Everyone must think you’ve let yourself go. Ew, put down your phone. Definitely not taking a mirror selfie today.”
You can transport yourself anywhere; fast tracking your goals and achieving every success you have every imagined, but if you do not heal the relationship that you have with yourself you will never find contentment.
You can step into that dream home with the heated floors, but you will move in with your current mindset. The way that you think, act and feel about yourself right now is what be unpacked along with your custom furnishings.
You had better be ready to load all of your baggage on that UHAUL truck, because it will most definitely be coming along on moving day. And don’t expect it to stay on the curb with your moving boxes. Oh no! You can set it right on the mantle as it will join you for morning coffee, reminding you of every reason why you do not deserve this house. You are not good enough. You are unworthy. This house was made for someone successful and you are not successful. Now, hurry up and finish your coffee, because you don’t get time to enjoy a peaceful morning.
Okay, so maybe you want to jump off this blog…. Or maybe I have already lost you? Maybe no readers are here by this paragraph? (internal giggles, partial fear…. should I stop typing?)
I will not stop.
I painted this imagery for the woman who knows this internal dialogue. She knows the moments of wanting to enjoy herself, but feeling so defeated by her negative self-talk. She is hurting. She is hiding. She is masking her feelings with busyness and pouring into everyone except herself.
But, underneath all the “you suck and you’re lazy” she feels a glimmer of something else… curiosity.
And that curiosity is the spark to ignite her flame.
- Are you curious about how it would feel to love your life right now?
- Do you wonder what it would be like to drink your coffee and feel peace about the day ahead?
- Do you ponder the relationship that you have with yourself?
- Do you question the validity of those statements your dear, negative self-talk neighbor is always muttering?
Yes… Maybe… Not sure, you’re ready to decide?
Get curious, build your awareness & wake up those senses!

Ponder this…If I were standing inside of my dream home today, what version of me would be moving in?
You did it! Great job! Sending you so much love! Until next time,
