LET’S EMBRACE BEING A LOT!

I’m a lot. I am. I know I am. I’ve always known I am.

I get overly excited about simple things. I get spicy when my day gets derailed.

I have a minimum of a hundred ideas flowing rapidly through my brain at any given time.

I think fast. I speak fast. I type even faster.

I sing at the top of my lungs whether I’m in in the shower, in church, or driving alone in my car. Life can sometimes feel like it is falling apart and then when I pause in these moments, I realize maybe I just haven’t had a good nights sleep, enough water or a snack and suddenly it can all feel sunny again.

I send multiple text messages in a row. And you’d better believe they are full of exclamation points and emojis. I actively try to connect with my friends, plan trips on a whim and work really hard to make everything magical.

I used to apologize all the time and now I’m actively working on not using the word ‘sorry’ unless I truly have something to be sorry for.

I have re-built my business many times and often have new business ideas rolling around in my head.

I only walk at the speed of a light jog and constantly get asked to slow down and yet, when I’m relaxing…..I am RELAXED!!

I make fast decisions with no regrets, I dive in and figure out the consequences later and I have boundless energy, and it makes me so happy when I meet someone who can match it!

I used to think being too much was a negative thing. Everything I just mentioned made me wonder if there was something wrong with me or if maybe I should just try to be the opposite of the things that came naturally to me.

I spent many years playing small, not laughing as loudly as I wanted to when something was funny, keeping my small wins to myself because they weren’t worthy of a celebration and convinced myself that this would get me further ahead.

BUT I WAS MADE FOR MORE.

I love hard, am quick to forgive, I laugh easily and loudly, I’m okay with making mistakes and taking the next right step to get back on track and moving forward in a way that was even better than before.

If you feel like you’re also “a lot”, let this be a friendly reminder that being ‘ a lot’ is an incredible thing to be. Getting aligned with who we are in order to show up in the best way personally and professionally doesn’t happen by accident. If you’re ready to dive into ways to show up personally and professionally in ways that feel more aligned, you’re in good company.

You’re a lot of love, joy, beauty, passion, empathy, determination and to be honest, this big ole’ world needs more of us to just be comfortable being ‘a lot’ How about we just own our gifts and the way we were created and just embrace how being ‘a lot’ adds to the world around us.

With JOY,

If you know me well enough, you will know that I would rather do anything than sell my soul, posting about products that I don’t even like. This post contains affiliate links which I am so excited to recommend to you (and make just a little money from) and would hope that if you have the opportunity to recommend products you love, you would do the same.
