About a year ago, I signed up for an email service on a Web site called The Brave Girls Club. Each morning, I wake up to an inspirational email that basically tells me I'm amazing, I'm productive and I need to take care of myself. More often than not, these emails hone in on exactly what I need to hear on any given day.
I felt that this morning's email was exceptionally poignant and I wanted to share it with all of you. If you want to sign up for the emails, you can do that here.
Dear Irreplaceable Girl,
Today is a great day to redefine what it means to be productive. Right now is the perfect time to redefine what is a meaningful accomplishment in your life.
Being a woman is tough work. Some days it may seem like you don't get anything done at all, when really you are making so many small and large strides towards everything that is good.
Just like plants and bulbs and seeds that seem like they are stagnant and stuck over the winter . . . the reality is that they have been doing the important work of readying themselves for the oncoming spring. It may LOOK like they suddenly sprout out of the ground, but they are only suddenly SHOWING all of the work and preparation and growth that has been going on for months and months.
You are phenomenal. Give yourself a break. Today, celebrate the silent, sometimes unseen steps that you are making every day of your life.
You are so loved.
xoxo
