Today is a fun little treat of an episode. I caught up with a friend who is in the depths of reinvention, finding her voice and sharing it out to the world - the deep introspective work that is required to recalibrate, refresh and reach the hearts and minds of so many beyond her, but she is starting with choosing herself and embracing the pause that is essential to finding true alignment and ease in our lives. The magical Chiquita Martin McCoy is a former teacher turned social entrepreneur in the wellness space who primarily focuses on rest. She creates experiences and builds spaces that center around the well-being of black women and she is a champion of the pause. We dig into what that actually means and why it’s so damn powerful - and a lot of other juicy topics along the way.
Here are some #lillovebombs from today’s episode.
- Don’t be afraid to use the plunger in your own life! When the sink clogs up, we don’t even think twice to do what it takes to clear it - even if it gets a little messy. I we can’t clear it ourselves, we just call a plumber. If we use this strategy in our own lives, we can get unstuck with ease.
- Speak up. Envision what you want to have it look or feel like and then self-advocate. If you want something different, ask for it.
- Embrace the Power of Pause. We are conditioned to believe that taking a break is a sign of weakness but in fact, the simple act of believing it to be an essential tool to our success is in itself a paradigm shift that opens space for you to find clarity, an increase in energy, and intentionality.
- In the Quiet Space, Leaps and Bounds are Happening. Sometimes it takes a while for the outside to catch up with the inside. When you get quiet you might be surprised to find that the call is different than before. The only question: Will you answer the call?
- Take a hard look at the strategies you are running. If we don’t take the time to take stock and weed out the strategies that no longer serve us, we simply move the same approach to a new location and start the cycle over again. Taking the time to pause and self-reflect allows us to truly make change in our lives.
- Joy is a legit mission. Don’t discount it.
- Give Yourself Permission to Pause, Play, and take care of you. Surrounding yourself with delight attracts more delight. Pausing in these small moments has the power to open completely unseen avenues and pouring into your own cup gives the juice for you to catapult forward with love and intention.
- Life Doesn’t Have to be a Toil. We are allowed to declare it to be easy. Finding alignment = feeling alive. Embrace it, nourish your soul, and choose your own yes.
