are you embodying the woman you want to become?
notes from vacation Lyndsey
I actually wrote this originally as an email a few weeks ago and it BLEW UP. I had so many gorgeous responses to the email that I wanted to just turn it into a blog so she has a place to live forever. As you read this, imagine it’s an email.
As I write this I can hear the waves breaking outside the window. I walked the beach for hours with my kids hunting for sea glass. We drank the best coffee ever in a cafe watching women of all walks of life connect over brunch.
It was so fun to see their outfits, makeup, facial expressions and drink choices.
Whenever we go out, my husband always wonders and asks me, what does everyone do for a living that allows them to drink coffees or wine on a Wednesday at 11:00 AM. Of course we dream up everyone’s life while we sit there people watching but honestly I always wonder if they are happy.
I told him today when he asked me while we sipped our coffees that I hope they are as happy in their lives as I am in mine.
I hope everyone creates a life and becomes the woman they would be in awe of at a coffee shop, inspired by or even jealous of. Are you living that life?
That brings me to the full moon energy and why I am inspired to write this.
This last full moon was beautiful. I felt so calm and connected. If you don't know a full moon is a great time to release and it is also this great time to envision what is.
This was the first moon in a while where I didn't feel like I needed to release much at all. That I could really focus on all the blessings that are and the next version of myself that I am stepping into. Rather than feeling like I need to send 100 old negative stories into the wind cast off generations of self doubt.
Is the next version of yourself someone you would be jealous of today?
Is she dressed in a delicious cashmere sweater sipping a cappuccino? Or is she in head to toe Vuori with a matcha on a Sunday? Maybe she is the one in the ripped jeans and herringbone trench in the corner, giving serene vibes while she laughs with her husband and 3 cute little kids over the best coffee ever.
Whoever she is, I want you to dedicate the rest of this year to becoming her.
No really, do it. Do it like it is your life purpose. Do it because you can.
I will never regret every step I have taken to becoming this version of myself. After this past week (welcoming in new women dedicated to their growth and healing in BTB) and full moon, I have so much clarity on the next version of myself and my life that I can see it, taste it and feel it.
The manifesting juices are flowing!!! I am on the brink of celebrating already because I know it is.
Get clear.
Show up even when you are afraid. Find the joy. Seek support and community. Open your heart to the possibilities. Take the steps when they show themselves to you and by all means, have the coffee in the cafe in the cashmere if that is the life you crave.
Did you have any full moon epiphanies? Any deep or subtle shifts? Have you taken any time to dream up your next avatar? To toss the restrictive rules we have been taught out the window and claim what your life will look like?
Like a Beyond the Body alum recently said, consciously choose who you are!
Amen to that.
You've got this. I am sending you all of the good vibes. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the possibility of an amazing life, consider working together with me and you can fill this out and it will end up right in my inbox. I also highly recommend my Method of Alignment (it’s a free download) as a weekly practice to stay true to who you want to be and slowly embody that next version of you.
