8 reminders we all need to hear when we're in the thick of it.
Here’s an office selfie, to remind you that even if you have a meeting, event, report out, achievement, school drop, and/or mom moment, that didn’t go according to plan, it doesn’t mean you can’t feel good about yourself and how far you’ve come and for giving it your all. You rock! And those events don’t define your worth or fabulousness.
Real talk: I’ve had a shit week.
The kind of weeks that make you question your job and career choice. But I’ve learned A TON about myself, my convictions, and what I stand for, and I’ve grown a lot as a human, which means it’s been a big week win in my book.
Have you been here/there before?
Here are some things I remind myself of when stuff doesn’t work out the way I planned, or when my personal brand is being challenged:
You know who the f*ck you are. (And if you have a moment of amnesia, call a friend or family remember to remind you, or blast some MF Beyoncé and give yourself a high five).
Your best is always good enough.
Sometimes sh*t hits the fan, and there’s nothing you can do about it and that’s okay.
Sometimes you should explain yourself, sometimes you shouldn’t. Be purposeful about which path you choose.
“I would rather fail as myself than succeed as someone else.” Thanks, @MsRachelHollis.
Learn what you can from the experience, don’t take it personally, course correct as you can, and move on quickly.
Failures don’t determine your worth.
Laugh. Because life is short and there are wayyy more serious things to stress about than (insert whatever thing went wrong today), like how long it’s been since I could clearly smell and taste a glass of wine (day 13 of this damn cold, FML).
Also, if you’re reading this you survived whatever that thing was so, tomorrow is a new opportunity to give it hell. Happy Friday ladies! Bring on the bubbles and alllll the shades of pink and red lipstick.
xx, Danielle
