Stand Up & Shout!
Hi Everyone,
My name is Nancy Pitre and I’m a Certified Holistic Health Coach. I always have this belief of when it comes to being right and being kind, always choose kindness. That doesn’t mean constantly getting stepped on or being taken advantage of. We always have the choice to stand up for ourselves in a kind and polite way. Standing up for ourselves doesn’t mean we have to match their behaviour, it just means you will no longer tolerate theirs!
When I heard this quote “You Get What You Tolerate” I really started making the shift in setting healthy boundaries for myself and my self worth. Because here’s the thing, every time you let someone be rude and condescending towards you, it lowers your self worth and your self esteem. When you allow this behaviour to happen, you’re basically telling yourself that “you’re not worth fighting for.” This ultimately affects your self worth and the way you show up in life!
I grew up believing that if I continued living small and play it safe I would avoid being seen and getting hurt, But what I realized, and this brings me to tears as I’m writing this, is if I continue behaving this way I’d also miss out on realizing my dreams, my aspirations and most importantly, my mission in life!
What makes me feel so alive is to be able to inspire and instruct others on how to improve their lives while helping them achieve their goals. The only way I know how to do that is by expressing my truth, my knowledge/wisdom, and my experiences with others so they can live a life they truly desire and deserve! But I cannot achieve this if I’m constantly afraid or worry about what others think, say or do. That stops me from living my own truth and my mission in life!
The truth is, there will be haters and bullies out there. They might even be your family members or people you know who have nothing else to do but project their misery onto others just to get an ounce of satisfaction. The question we have to ask ourselves is, “ Do we really want to give all our power away?” The obvious answer is HELL NO! The only way to do that is by focusing on the bigger picture which for me is to be of service to others. What does that look like for you?
I highly encourage you to take some time and reflect on what matters most to you, despite what others think! Wether it’s your life’s mission, your health or simply, your truth! Take this time now and reflect on what is most important to you! Ask yourself, What or who stops you from living your truth and your mission in life? Like Less Brown, one of my favourite motivational speaker, would often say “When there’s no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm!” It’s time to take our power back so we can live our life on our own terms! Can I get an AMEN on a FRIDAY!!!
I hope this blog post serves you well! If you feel like anybody would benefit from this message, please spread the love and share it.
Until next time my friends, remember, keep progressing on your own journey towards health and wellness!
Cheers
Nancy Pitre, CHHC
