Moments For Me - Edition 3 - Letting Go of the “Shoulds”

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

MOMENTS FOR ME

Edition 3/2024

Hello again,

I’m so glad to connect with you for another Moments For Me. Today, let’s talk about letting go of the pressure of “shoulds” and embracing what feels right for you.

Moment #1: Self-Compassion 💛

Let go of the idea that you “should” be a certain way. Whether it’s societal expectations or internal pressure, remind yourself that your worth isn’t tied to meeting these demands. You are enough, just as you are.

Moment #2: Authentic Living 🌱

When making decisions today, ask yourself, "Is this what I truly want, or is it what I think I should want?" Let your choices reflect your authentic self, even in small ways.

Moment #3: Simple, Loving Act 🕯️

Write yourself a kind note. It can be as simple as "You’re doing great" or "I’m proud of you." Place it somewhere you’ll see it throughout the day as a gentle reminder of your own support.

Thank you for taking these moments for yourself. Remember, letting go of “shoulds” is a step towards living more authentically. Be kind to yourself as you navigate this path. Until next time, keep caring for you.

Emma 💞

MOMENTS FOR ME Edition 11/2024 Hello, and welcome to this week's Moments For Me! I’m so glad you’re here. As I hinted in a recent newsletter, I’ve been reflecting on my priorities and taking small steps to build more security and ease into my days. One of my top priorities is to feel less stress and more freedom to enjoy the things I love outside of work. Over the years, I’ve had some daily rituals I’ve practised on and off, and lately, I’ve been inspired to bring these back into my life....
