What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people?
Thank you so much for checking out my blog today. It’s a beautiful day, and I’m super excited to be back with another post. Today, I want to talk about something that has been sitting deeply on my heart: allowing yourself to truly enjoy the blessings you’ve been given.
Recently, I had a conversation with my sweet man that really opened my eyes. I was sharing how, whenever he offers to take care of the baby and encourages me to just go do my thing—without worrying or struggling—it brings up a mix of emotions for me. On one hand, I feel excited and grateful. On the other hand, there’s this lingering thought of, “Wow… I actually have time.”
When Blessings Feel Unfamiliar
For so long, my life consisted of doing everything at once—being a mom, running a business, working under constant pressure, and trying to keep up with everything with barely enough time. Now, things have shifted. I have support. I have help. I have space.
And yet, I noticed something interesting about myself.
Even with help, my body still holds onto tightness. There’s this internal pressure—almost like I should still be rushing or struggling—despite the fact that there’s no longer a reason to. That pressure is familiar. It’s what I’ve known for years.
Learning to Accept Help Without Guilt
What I’m doing intentionally now is this:
I’m accepting the help that’s available to me and allowing it to actually help me.
I’m choosing to do things calmly, confidently, and intentionally—rather than from stress or survival mode. I’m reminding myself that I have enough time. I don’t need to rush. I don’t need to operate under pressure to prove anything.
And I’m sharing this because I know I’m not alone.
Breaking Free From Old Patterns of Pressure and Struggle
Sometimes, we become so used to pressure and struggle that when it’s no longer required, we subconsciously recreate it. Even when life has changed for the better, we keep operating from old programs, old behaviors, and old survival patterns that no longer serve us.
So today, I’m calling myself—and you—into something new.
Living in the Present, Not the Past
Let’s choose to live in the present.
Not in past pain.
Not in past struggle.
Not in outdated mindsets that no longer apply.
Could it be that some of us desire more abundance, yet struggle to enjoy what we already have because we’re so used to not having enough? Could it be that the abundance we prayed for is already here—but we haven’t fully allowed ourselves to receive it?
Gratitude, Breath, and Awareness
Today, I invite you to pause.
Take a deep breath.
Notice your life right now.
The life you’re living today may very well be the life you once prayed for—and it is good.
It is okay to accept help.
It is okay to rest.
It is okay to stop working under pressure and start working from inspiration, excitement, intuition, alignment, and power.
Choose Joy Intentionally
As you go about your day today, don’t steal your own joy.
Be intentional about what you’re intentional about.
Notice what you’re noticing.
Allow the help. Accept the change. Embrace the peace.
There is no power in pressure.
There is no joy in constant stress.
And there is so much beauty in allowing yourself to enjoy the blessings you’ve been given.
Don’t let anyone—and especially not yourself—steal your joy 💛
