Hi Love,
Today, I’m sharing a post from the archives. A message that’s speaking to me right now…and might just be what you need to hear today.
If you’re enjoying the Soul Care Mom Substack I’d be delighted if you’d consider supporting my work through a paid subscription (an incredible value at less than $1/day).
When you join you’ll get access to special monthly audio notes and the transformational course, Compassionate Motherhood, that’ll help you release mom guilt, lean into deeper self-compassion, and create a life infused with self care. 💖
“When we procrastinate, or simply avoid making a decision at all, we are giving up the ability to control our own destiny. In fact, because of the fear of losing control we are actually losing control, by not taking action on our own.”
-Matt Paxton
This quote is straight from our Vibrant Mom Book Club this month.
Such a powerful statement. 🤯
If you’ve been in the Soul Care Mom world for a while, you’ve probably heard me say…
“When we don’t approach life with intention we end up living life by default.”
Magic and transformation happen when you consistently say “yes” to you, your dreams, and the things that light you up.
So, what is it that you’ve been putting off?
Is it decluttering your home to create a more peaceful space?
Starting a new workout routine to feel stronger and more energized?
Or perhaps, it’s something as simple as drinking more water to take better care of your body?
Whatever it is, remember that every small step counts.
Here's some inspiration to get you started:
Decluttering Your Home: Start with just one drawer or one shelf. Set a timer for 10 minutes and put on some music and see what you can clear out. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish in short bursts.
Beginning a New Workout Routine: Commit to a 10-minute workout each day (choose a time of day you can consistently show up for yourself and move your body in ways that feel good to you). There are plenty of great, quick workouts available online that require no equipment. You can find some beautiful mindful movement and yoga practices on the Soul Care Mom YouTube channel :)
Drinking More Water: Keep a water bottle with you throughout the day. Set reminders on your phone every hour to take a few sips until it becomes a natural part of your routine.
Remember, it's not about perfection; it's about progress and taking loving action towards our vision for our lives.
What small step will you commit to today to move closer to your best self?
Let’s embrace our power to shape our destinies, one intentional moment at a time.
Sending you Love Always,
Catherine 💖
