Okay rockstars… I know that you are all awesome and want to conquer the world on your own… BUT- and I’m sure you can see where this might be going (if the title hasn’t given this away already)- sometimes receiving support is really the next step… or at least the path of least resistance. Yes we have to rely on ourselves in terms of controlling our thoughts and being aware of our emotions. Yes we are the only ones in charge of ourselves and all of that. HOWEVER, sometimes we need support. What do I mean?
Support can come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes support is the smallest gesture, such as someone opening a door for us, or giving us a compliment that reminds us of our beauty or great taste in style. Other times support is emotional in nature, like when we call a friend, or go to a seminar to catapult the next stage in personal growth. And also there is teacher/student support, when we open ourselves to learn- this can be in a classroom, via reading a book, watching a video, or any number of methods when we are in “learning” mode.
I found myself in a place recently where I needed emotional support. Even though I am super healthy, eat organic, have done lots of diets, and workout regularly, I have finally come to the place where I am ready for some support to be healthier and shift eating patterns that don’t give me the desired result I want (a.k.a. a more energized, healed, sexy body). I am happy to finally be in this place of receiving support because I had been stuck for a long time. The pattern was knowing what I needed to do/eat, but not following through, then beating myself up about it, then letting the vicious cycle repeat itself again the next day. I’m sure none of you rockstars can relate right?
So what did I do? I looked online and found a weight loss center (yes I did) with tons of great reviews. I had never done this before and definitely felt my own hesitancy about this, “Oh these things never work,” and “Oh they aren’t healthy” and all of that. So I sat with it and then decided to call the center to get a vibe for what to expect. The person that answered the phone was extremely helpful, informative, and yes you guessed it- supportive. I instantly felt the energy of, “I don’t have to do this alone” and just like that- I made the decision to go for it.
Truth be told I have not learned that much that I did not know before in terms of nutrition and what to eat- but I now have the SUPPORT I need to make the choices I’ve wanted to make for a long time, and it makes all the difference in the world. I’m already feeling lighter, clearer, and less pulled to the sugar addiction from before. I know that every week, I will go and receive more emotional support, along with some healthy nutrition ideas, etc. I am ready to be a free self love rockstar that doesn’t need any particular food or beverage to feel good except some good inner self love awesome sauce.
So the challenge for all of you rockstars this week is to find something you would love some support with (small or big) and go get you some… and share with us so we can give you some emotional love high five support! Giddy up!
