Yoga is not about self improvement, it’s about self acceptance.
Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa
Lately I have found myself in the midst of a struggle again. How can I accept myself as I am, if I am still seeking improvement. Aren’t these two opposites ends of the spectrum?
My own personal journey this last year has been one of both self acceptance and self improvement. I had to let go of my old stories about myself and accept the new amazing chapters being written. I had to let go of beliefs that were keeping me playing small, and find coaches and courses to help me improve myself and my business. Which lead to, facing the blocks that were preventing me from stepping into my true self and success. It’s a scary place to step out from being “nice girl” Lisa to CEO Lisa.
My business coach has been HUGE in calling me out when I am sliding into “nice girl” mode and need to step into my badass boss babe energy. I know I have a message and a purpose and the people who need my help need my sass and sarcastic vibe. It has led me to fully grasp how I am meant to show up for the women I serve.
This year has tested me in ways I couldn’t imagine as I learn to love myself and my body in all it’s uniqueness, without the caveat of “yeah, but if I can just change, xyz, then…”. No, right now, cellulite, jiggles and all. My body is marvelous in so many ways, and that I ever treated it so unkindly brings tears to my eyes. However, all those lessons needed to happen to get me to this place of understanding for me and for all the amazing women I talk to and work with wondering how to get out of this trap of never quite being good enough.
It’s why I am creating the resources I am. Do you have your copy of my 3 Ways to Love Your Body TODAY? There is a way to start to love yourself today. Put yourself first, grab your copy today.
Improvement is not a dirty word. A peek at my bookshelves, podcast library and Audible account will tell you that I am always seeking to get better. But my quest for improvement is about wonder, joy and love for myself. About how bettering myself will make me a better coach, sister, daughter, aunt, human. Not to make myself fit anybody’s definition of what improvement “should” be.
