Hey girl hey!
It has been a month since I have written a newsletter and I wanted to check-in. Today is my birthday so I am reflecting on this thirty-fifth trip around the sun. The past few weeks, I have been breathing more deeply and making a conscious choice not to be too hard on myself.
My life is so busy as a wife, a mother, a business owner, a friend, and so on. It is funny how I felt like I wasn't doing enough when I was doing it all. Anyone else feel like that, too? My house is a lot messier but my notebook is full of more words. My laundry is piling up but I finally visited a dope jazz club. I didn't move my body as much, but I actually printed out my novel manuscript and am rereading it a few pages at a time. This past few week has not been about knocking out goals one by one, but really being present with whatever is going on.
For me, being unbothered is about setting expectations that make sense for me right now and giving myself permission to change those expectations. Cause if I am evolving then my expectations should too, right?
What about you Sis? How are you making space for yourself? What are you letting go of in order to make room for what you want? Take some pressure off yourself so you can actually live your best life. Get some rest, so your body can properly support the amazingness you are accomplishing. And most of all remember that you are enough. Right now. Right where you are. PERIOD.
Love,
Kandice
P.S.....Here is what is on my Unbothered Must-Have List right now:
- Completing Artist Way by Julia Cameron. 12 weeks of exercises that every creative needs to do!
- Reading Govern Ya'Selves by UBGC member and my brilliant cousin Tamyra Andrews. Get your copy now!
- Listening to musicals on Spotify. Check out "The Waitress" and "Once On This Island"
- Prologue collection at Target. They have some cute dresses, like this one I wore at CurvyCon last week. They are flowy, comfortable, and available in plus sizes!
