I’m so proud of you! I’m so proud of us!
Wow, we made it to day 30! Huuuurah!!!
So now I ask, what did you learn about yourself during this process?
Have you spent more time building your reserves?
Have you improved some aspect of your health or home?
Have you deepened your emotional reservoir or your mental strength and agility?
Have you started some new self-care routines or strengthened previously learned healthy habits?
If so, I’m glad!
I’ve been on the challenge with you and it’s been a good ride! Today, I’ll share some of my epiphanies and hope that you will share some of yours with all of us too!
1 I was reminded how much I push and how I need to ease off sooner, before I am really tired.
2 That self-talk is truly the river of information that is feeding and directing every emotion and behavior!
3 That I start hitting walls of resistance just before I get to the stage of “dripping with self-care” and that I will continue to practice until I am really comfortable and at home in that abundantly nurtured space.
4 That when I am focused on my blessings, I see them everywhere!
5 That when I lighten-up and just enjoy the up’s and down’s of each day, I am more able to be present, which is where I feel the love and support that is always around me.
6 That when I am thinking ahead, my stress goes down! When I have anticipated my needs (and those of my family), life is so much easier!
7 That I don’t run on adrenaline anymore.
8 That I really like my life.
9 That by bringing more of what I love into being, I am really bringing more love and beauty to the world.
10 That I need people–my family being at the top of the list! They teach me daily and love me always, in my weakness and in strength.
I hope that you have gained new insights into what makes you feel nurtured and cared for.
I hope you have greater skills to find and employ those important caring habits.
I hope you have a stronger sense of the purpose and necessity of self-care and a greater dedication to the cause of becoming your best and healthiest self.
What an incalculable gift your health is to your family and friends! How much they are depending on your ability to stand with quiet dignity at your divinely given post!
{You know, I mean standing with quiet dignity at least in your soul- who knows, you might be dancing and singing on the outside!}
Be strong and of a good courage as you continue on!
There will be more holistic health coaching challenges coming up! I hope you’ll join me!
Thank you, thank you for being here.

I learned a few of those things too! Especially taking a break before I hit a wall and also re-vamping the self talk in my head. Thanks for all of your encouragement, this has been an awesome challenge! ?
Ha ha, I think they are common challenges for us ladies. Thank you Heather for being here and taking the ride! xo
This has been such an eye opening challenge for me. It’s hard to describe all the things I’ve felt changing, even with the smallest amount of effort. I’ve felt humbled and empowered many times. I think I’ll continue to keep those declarations a part of my routine! They are so powerful. Thanks for the guidance, Jacque. You’re amazing!
I am delighted to know that you have made efforts and have been rewarded Jenna! I want every mama in the world to be empowered and encouraged. Thank you for being here and for adding your voice to our challenge! Yay for declarations! I hope you will always have that tool in your pocket! xo
