What are you celebrating about you?

Sunday is Mother's Day in Australia. I'm all for celebrating!

For a moment, imagine how you would feel about yourself if you celebrated yourself every day? What kind of ripple effect would that have?

Although, Mother's Day is predominantly about your partner/ spouse and children celebrating and acknowledging you. I invite you to take a moment, grab a journal and cup of tea; and with the same amount of care and thought that you would put into a gift for your child; write down what you love about yourself, and what you can celebrate!

• What are you proud of in this domain of Motherhood?
• How have you grown as a mother?
• What have you conquered about yourself?
• What have you learnt about yourself?
• What choices have you made that were out of your comfort zone?
• Where have you surpassed your expectations?
• How has Motherhood helped you evolve?

Now... don't be tempted to go down the rabbit hole of "I'm not enough", "I'm unworthy" - and there's nothing worth celebrating about me. 

Celebration and tuning into focusing on our growth - is the nourishment that inspires us to do better. It is the nourishment that expands our love for ourself - and then we can give from the overflow.

If you have a habit of focusing on where you're falling short - here's what you can celebrate. To have the awareness that you're noticing your focus is on where you're falling short. That's a start. That's now bringing a shadow into the light. 

I may not know you personally, and I know, if you're reading this newsletter and part of this tribe, here's what I love and celebrate about you:

• I celebrate your efforts to heal, to transform, to grow. You're doing Motherhood from an entirely new domain where you're choosing to challenge the paradigm of suffering, self-sacrifice, and survival. It's a challenge, and you're leading the way.
• I celebrate that through your growth, through learning to love yourself and have a commitment to thrive, you're contributing to a powerful legacy—a legacy where children can feel whole. Feel deserving. Have permission to shine and aren't wearing the burden of their parent's unmet dreams.
• I celebrate that you're learning to love yourself. It may sometimes go against every part of your wiring, and you know there's a lot at stake here if you don't. 
• I celebrate your commitment to being empowered, to thriving, and to continuously liberating yourself of your demons.
• I celebrate you confronting stories and limiting beliefs that may bring up a lot of hurt, pain and suffering - and you do this so you can heal. And you're doing this, so you're not passing on the wounds. 
• I celebrate you bringing joy to Motherhood. I celebrate you choosing joy in Motherhood.
• I celebrate how you grapple and learn to integrate compassion, kindness, and generosity for yourself.
• I celebrate your commitment to choosing love. 

Thank you for the love you give. Thank you for the love you inspire. Thank you for committing to choosing love. :)
