I didn't feel like...
I go to the gym a lot so it leaves me with a bunch of laundry to do weekly. I didn't feel like doing laundry tonight...so I did it anyway and now I have clean clothes for tomorrow!

So want to share a bit of my experience this week. After the seminar on Thursday I was intent on doing the homework. It was the push I needed to clean up some things in my life. See, I have always been a very private person, more than that I could not even speak up when a waiter got my order wrong let alone when a good friend hurt me. I didn’t think I was good enough to speak my truth. I bottled every thing up and without even knowing it was poisoning myself. So I started with something big and told a old friend why we could not be together (after 4 years of avoiding them it was about time I gave this gift). After that something was charged in me and it no longer became a question of if and how to be up front with people but when and with what integrity. I found my self the past few days telling my old roommate why I really quit acting. Coming forward with my new roommate about something she said that hurt me (which it turned out I was wrong and completely miss read the comment. If I had not spoken with her about it, I would have been plagued and damaged by the comment and what I made it mean indefinitely and it would have created a major rift between me and my roommate/best friend). I spoke with my Dad telling him I wished he called more, and told him why my mom makes me feel powerless. I pushed him about landmark till he finally said he’d consider going. I told my good friend she is making the choice to ruin her life her boyfriends aren’t doing it. Plus a host of smaller things. It is so much easier than I thought and powerful!! That Energy Jamie mentioned that comes when you begin taking action is real and vital. Each time I stepped up to the plate and was authentic with someone I was charged with energy. I feel as though I have unleashed the possibility of control in my life, instead of life happening to me as people dictate my fate and emotions, I have the power to take control of those emotions and what I choose to do with day to day life. I am good enough to speak up! I feel Good, and inspired to keep up the homework. If you haven’t started it yet, I say start small, tell your husband, roommate, girlfriend to take out the trash or something, and use that to propel you into more and more instances of authenticity.
right on, kelly! i strive to live my life just this way but even after I have taken that step of being authentic I still must rally inside of myself to do it again....and again.....and again! Thank you for the reminder and the inspiration!
