This past weekend, I attended an incredible retreat led by Robyn Youkilis for our Rockstar Coaching Collective. I was lucky enough to become part of the Collective earlier this year and as excited as I was to attend, I was still nervous being that I hadn’t met any of these people IRL, only on Zoom conference calls, nor attended a retreat before. And, I could have used many excuses on why I couldn’t attend due (commitments, logistics, scheduling, etc.) but I’m glad I made the time and space and am beyond grateful for my incredible husband for his support.
This two day experience provided me with so many important reminders, especially when it comes to getting out of your comfort zone. Sure, the act of doing just that can be very intimidating and scary, yet so empowering because that fear doesn’t define you.
It’s about not about focusing on that fear, but instead applauding yourself for taking well needed time – whether it’s daily, weekly, monthly, whenever – for YOU to:
- Show up for yourself
- Push yourself to make you stronger
- Fight for this time (it’s okay to say NO to other things to make this happen!)
- Let other things go and sort themselves out (know sometimes easier said than done)
- And pat yourself on the back, as damn, making this time and creating this space just for you feels so good 🙂
This retreat was also an incredible reminder about the importance communities play in our lives and the support they offer. I’m so grateful to be surrounded by so many like-minded, amazing people and sharing our energy, ideas and information, whether it’s in my Rockstar, Living Cleaner, Easier & Safer or Beautycounter communities.
It’s hard to believe that there are less than 80 days left in this year and decade (WHAT?!) but let’s all vow to make the most of the rest of 2019. For me, I’m focusing more on the now, rather than what’s next, and people and things that energize me.
Thank you for being those people to me ❤
