You KNOW what you SHOULD do

Written By Sonja Beckerhoff

The question is, why don’t you?

What IS stopping you from

  • looking after yourself more?

  • working less?

  • spending more time with family and friends?

  • re-assessing your choices and options?

  • following your heart and dreams?

Are what is stopping you

  • expectations from family, friends, peers, others around you?

  • beliefs that it was always done this way and it’s the best/only way?

  • thoughts that looking after yourself and your wants is an indulgence?

  • assumptions that everyone around you is perfect and you need/want to be too?

  • beliefs that you are only worthy and respected if you say yes to all demands?

  • convictions that this won’t last forever and one day you’ll be good enough and life will be different?

  • beliefs that if you say no you are weak?

  • thoughts that you don’t deserve to be happy until you’ve made everyone around you happy?

  • fears of being judged?

If you said yes to any of these, ask yourself if the shoes you wore as a 6-year old still fit you. And if it isn’t time to let some of these ideas go as well.

While we at AdventureYourself don’t have all the answers, there are a few things we believe, like

  • Doing and giving less so we can do and give more

  • Putting our inner critic to rest so we can trust and love ourselves more

  • Suspending judgement and comparison with others so we can recognise and appreciate our own value

  • stop shoulding so we can start being.
