Here's something I'm trying to stop doing: being apologetic. My first instinct when I started this post was to say "sorry I missed last week" but you know what? I'm not sorry. I was legit busy doing super important life stuff that I don't regret. It's not something I want to talk about now but I might eventually.
Also a few days ago, I took a really cute picture of myself that I wanted to share. My first impulse was to be snarky or cute about why I was posting a picture of myself which I think a lot of people do. Instead I examined my intentions and just decided to be honest. I was feeling cute and I wanted to share it. I'm just scared that I'll come off as vain if I post a picture of myself for no reason that I have to remind myself that it's okay to show off once in a while. I show my kids off enough cause they're adorable, I might as well show myself off when I feel adorable!
I'm trying to work on my negative Enneagram 9 tendencies. My default is to think I don't have much of value to contribute so I kind of blend into the background. So I'm trying to be present and be myself and not assume other people know life better than me. I always assume others have more authority. That might be true sometimes but it doesn't mean I have zero. I think becoming a parent has really helped me to understand that. When I have to advocate for others, it helped me see how much power I have out in the world.
And with my new authority, I will BRING THIS POST TO A CLOSE. Go home now. It's over.
