This week, I feel overwhelmed, and everything in me is saying “You can’t drop the ball now. It’s week 11 and not only do you need to finish strong for yourself to show you can do this, but you also need to finish strong for the others that are counting on you to lean in here and offer them what is needed.”

This is both true and not true. It is true that it’s extremely important that I finish strong for myself and others, but what isn’t true is that I have an idea of what I think that means. That somehow I come up with some “new shiny fancy thing” for all of us to do this week. Somehow, my insides have decided that we don’t take breaks on the second to last week. That would be unacceptable.

BUT – we do take breaks, and sometimes that break IS the leaning in. Sometimes, that is what is most challenging to us. 

So – for this week I am going to lean into a teaching moment about real life. We have been learning how to respect what we need and flex around that. We have been learning to dive a little deeper and push or pause as the flow of life requires. This week is about you deciding what that looks like for you. 

You have two options – lean into what feels most like what is needed. If you don’t know just choose one and reflect/adjust as you go:

✅  OPTION 1: Do nothing this week and let yourself be ok with that EXCEPT 

• Reread Week 9 recap journal entry
• Reread Week 7 – What you are proud of
• Review Week 6 checklists –  

✅ OPTION 2: Ask yourself what feels right and go with that. I will put some ideas below to guide you if you need more structure but be sure to pick whatever promotes you letting go of fear, honoring your needs, and choosing growth. 

Ideas:  

✅ Reflect on how last week went, were you able to work through surrendering whatever it is you identified in week 9? If not, maybe continue working through that? 

✅ Reread journal entries and pick something you want to do again. 

✅ Write a letter from your future self to you today where your future self describes who she is and what her life feels like. 

✅ Write a letter to your future self sharing your concerns/fears etc and then right a response from your future self.
