The day that changed my life

The day that changed my life

It was just a random day when I took a shower and as I was about to put some clothes on I caught a glimpse of my body in the mirror. I stopped and just stayed staring. It's me, but something feels different. "You're good, girl, what were all the worries about? “ I heard my own voice. I just started laughing as I kept looking at myself.

Oh shit, this is what self-acceptance feels like?? I've been trying to get to this place for years!!!

When I say that this random moment on a random Tuesday changed my life, I mean it.

I did not change anything, the only thing I changed was the way I look at myself.

I was carrying the weight of my own judgment, of my own disrespect. And the moment I let my inner self have a glow-up, the more I was receiving a glow-up in the physical world.

I lost 15 kilos within about 2 months. But because I was not focused on weight loss, I did not even realize it. It was when other people started noticing and asking me "did you lose weight? “.

And even at that point, I didn't yet realize it because, for the first time, this did not matter, I just felt great and that was enough!

I don't own a weight. That is a part of my self-love journey. I don't measure my worth. I'm not suggesting that everyone should have it this way, but this had to be part of my journey. I did not always have a good relationship with my body and weighing myself did not mentally do me well.

One day I was visiting my parents and as they also asked me about my weight loss I decided to use their weight and honestly I was in shock. 15 kilos??? Is this how self-acceptance can manifest in the physical world? So what else can it do?

Well as I found out, it can do literally anything. This happened in February 2020.

What happened since then? I met MY PERSON. I quit a workplace that became toxic. Started and failed a business. Healed a portion of my emotional trauma. Had financial difficulties. Came to financial abundance. Healed some health issues and discovered others. Moved to my vision board country and apartment. Had a burnout and a breakdown. Went full-time into my career coaching business.

Many highs and lows. That's life, all the parts of it. And honestly, there is beauty in it if you decide to open your eyes to it. Both the ups and downs made me grow so much as a person.

Taking a step back and seeing the ups and downs is beautiful. Because even though there are ups and downs in the graph of my life, the curve is still rising up.

And the journey isn't over. I'm always ready for more. Not because this is not enough, but because we are continuously evolving. There is always room for growth and expansion.

Since then I've connected with my body and finally learned to listen to my intuition and let it guide me. This definitely was a process. Even a year ago when I heard somebody say "listen to your body" it was honestly just making me angry. I mean, I know I should listen to my body, but how?!

What I now understand is that as there is not one universal language people all around the world speak, there also is not one universal way our bodies speak to us. That's why people usually don't give you a step-by-step or if they do, you might feel like that does not work for you.

That's why it really excites me, that even though it took my years personally to decode the language of my body, I am now helping my clients to reach that within a few weeks even if their body speaks a different language than mine.

Witnessing their transformation makes me feel so grateful and fulfilled. And honestly, I'm just so happy that I get to do this in this season of my life.

I went from a non-confident scared girl to a powerful badass woman. And yes, that is how I talk to myself now. Even if I have a day when I don't feel great (those days will always come), I don't inherently lose my self-worth.

If this speaks to you and fits where you are in your life let me know. I'd love to guide you through your own self-discovery and self-acceptance process. And help you unleash the magic within you. The key is, we always start on the left side of the "transformation picture". Waiting to be on the right side of the picture to start fully accepting yourself for who you are... well you will be waiting forever.
