The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown

Work It Out by Mel Robbins 

January is right around the corner, in the Fit Club we are doing a little countdown to 2021 by reflecting on this year with grateful hearts & through the eyes of hope. 

Here’s my reflection:

In 2020, 

I lost a lot of people from family members and friends to network connections I enjoyed having. 

From that though, I gained deeper relationships with family and friends that are still around. 

My husband and I are learning how to set boundaries for our marriage and for the family that we created, not all of our immediate family. Our intimacy has reached a new level. 

2020 was the year I learned my triggers and learned my biggest fears. 

That was heavy and hard, but that means I gained priceless wisdom. 

In 2020, I have learned to trust God no matter what. I have given more control over to Him this year than ever before. 

I figured out that activism for oppressed people in our country is a big passion of mine, and likely will be apart of my voice going forward no matter what w o r k I am doing otherwise. 

I am not broken. 

The way I was speaking to myself was. 

I have/had patterns of self sabotaging that were broken. 

I learned in 2020 that they aren’t me. 

Right now on December 28th 2020, I am finding myself wanting to drink significantly less. I am ready to call myself out for self-sabotaging behaviors, put a serious plan together to serve as many women as I can from fear, shame, trauma, and mediocrity with this podcast, with the fit club, with any devotionals/books/groups/group coaching/physical resources/community service projects that I can come up with & bring to life.

This year I found the real, authentic me under my shame, under my fear, under my trauma for the first time since 2009, and it’s been hard and messy, but today as I am typing this out.

I am excited.

And I know the best has yet to come.

What did you learn or gain this year? What are you proud of?
