It’s not your fault when you ignore what’s true for you to get approval, belonging, and love.

It’s not your fault when you dismiss or downplay your desires to please someone else.

It’s not your fault when your gut says no but you say yes.

There’s nothing you have to do.

The things on your calendar. The items on your to-do list. The miscellaneous tasks swirling in the back of your mind. The goals floating around and the dreams tucked away in your heart.

You don’t have to do any of it.

None of it—doing or not doing it—can increase or decrease your worthiness as a human being.

All these things are simply options in your beautiful life.

And among your options, you get to choose what you want to do, what you choose to do, and what you're committed to doing. Because of what you want to create and who you want to be in your life.

Are you pursuing your goals from wholeness and self-approval? Or for wholeness and self-approval?

Whenever we make our goals responsible for how we feel about ourselves, we give away our power.

As a new mom who’s breastfeeding on demand, the time I have to myself is less than what I had pre-baby. It’s got me thinking about my relationship with time and more over, what I considered “my time.”⁣
