STORY TIME … “Showing Up For Yourself”
Day 20: “Becoming Someone You Can Rely On”
There was a time not long ago … where I didn’t fully trust myself.
Not because I didn’t care… but because I wasn’t consistent with myself.
I would tell myself I was going to do something… and then not follow through.
I’d say I was going to take better care of my body… and then ignore it when it needed me.
I’d say I was going to slow down… and then fill my schedule right back up.
I’d say I was done with certain patterns… and then find myself right back in them.
And every time that happened, it chipped away at something.
My confidence.
My self-trust.
My belief in myself.
Because how can you feel grounded in yourself… if you don’t believe you’ll show up for your own life?
That’s been a big part of this phase for me.
Not doing everything perfectly… but starting to do what I say I’m going to do.
Even in small ways.
Showing up to my own routines… even when I don’t feel like it.
Taking care of my body instead of pushing past it.
Creating structure for myself instead of running on chaos.
And most importantly… not abandoning myself when things get hard.
That’s the difference.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being consistent.
And I’ve realized that trust with yourself isn’t built in big moments…
It’s built in the quiet ones.
The ones no one sees.
The choices you make when you’re tired.
The decisions you make when it would be easier to fall back into old habits.
Those are the moments that build you.
And I see this so clearly at the spa.
People want to feel better… and they do after one session.
But real change doesn’t come from one appointment.
It comes from showing up for yourself over and over again.
From committing to your body.
From following through on your own care.
From building a relationship with yourself that says… “I’ve got you.”
That’s what we help people create here.
Not just relief…
But consistency.
Because healing isn’t a one time moment.
It’s a relationship you build with yourself.
And I’m still building mine.
Every day.
But I can feel the difference now.
I trust myself more than I used to.
Not because everything is perfect…
But because I know I’m going to keep showing up.
And that changes everything.
“Can you rely on yourself right now… or is that something you’re still building?”
Thank you as always for taking the time to read & allow me to share my story.
