Sometimes I lose myself— in my thoughts, in my relationships, in my hopes and my fears.⁣ ⁣ I find myself playing the same stories over and over again in my head, until they become too much and I feel paralyzed.⁣ ⁣ Maybe you’ve felt the same?⁣ ⁣ Whenever I find myself faced with indecisiveness or uncertainty, I remind myself to surrender...To surrender and release attachment to the outcome & how I’m going to “get there”.⁣ ⁣ To clarify, surrender it isn’t about letting life happen TO YOU, but rather, picking a path and trusting in yourself and the decisions you’ve made. (I know how easy it can be to fall into a pattern of second guessing!)⁣ ⁣ Today, as I toppled about in rough waters, laughing every moment I came up for breath, in awe of the power of the ocean (until a lifeguard beckoned me to shore), I realized that life is like a wave— sometimes you just need to let go and ride it out. If you resist, you’ll find yourself churning around in the white water, unable to do anything at all. ⁣ ⁣ #zipolite #livefullyalive #oceanviews #createthelifeyouwant #sundaymotivation #mexicotravel 📸 • @asiadawn_ (en Playa Zipolite) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDck1bvjEk9/?igshid=guiojbwd2uwr

LIVING FULLY . As a person I can be a lot, I know this. What I’m learning (thanks @jessicajeanmuir ) is that this bigness can be triggering for those who don’t feel their own power. It can make their chest tighten and make them uncomfortable to see a woman so fully in her power. . This is why we’re taught to seek our worthiness outside ourselves, it makes us easier to control that way. It makes it easier for people to get us to shrink ourselves when we feel that our worthiness is sought externally. . You, my loves, are already all the magic you will ever need. You do not need that magic validated by others to make it true. Your value does not decrease because of their inability to see it. You do not need to prove or earn your worth. . What would happen if you knew in your heart you were everything you needed? How would your life look different? How would it feel in your body? . . . #livefully #livefullyalive #youareworthy #youareenough #youareworthit❤️ #sunski #aeriereal #aerieswim #wildwomanrising #wildwomansisterhood #wildwomen #wildwoman #riverlife #coloradoliving #coloradolife #shaktisoulcollective #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #womencircle #womxncircle #womenscircle (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9EwcEjJIX/?igshid=1jpjrmkeat2b6

#Repost @peacefulmindpeacefullife with @get_repost ・・・ It’s incredible to think that we need permission to follow the life of our dreams, right? . Let that sink in for a minute- We often think other people need to give us their blessings before we live our best life. . As kids we are taught to always ask permission. As adults, we do this too, but at what cost? I’ve noticed within myself there are aspects of my life where I hold myself back and seek external approval, anyone else relate? It’s frustrating, right? We’re adults we can live our lives fully on our terms, freely. . Next time your mind says, “Who do you think you are? You can’t do that!” Respond back, “I am the boss of this life!” 💪💛 Michelle . @michellemaros #livefullyalive #bebrave #befree #beyourself (at Sic Mundus Creatus Est) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2e4W5AnRsa/?igshid=1m3xesxmqdq8n

#Repost @peacefulmindpeacefullife with @get_repost ・・・ #sundayvibes ✨ . Our language when it comes to body image and health can be so incredibly damaging. Just this past week, I was at an event and was approached by a woman. She looked at me in surprise, as if she didn’t recognize me, and blurted out, “Michelle, is that you? You’re skinny!” . Today on my @peacefulmindpeacefullife I share super personal early experiences that shaped the way I view my body and actually, my whole being. . I believe that we are in a time and place where we can shift the way we talk about health and body, and that we can change these biases and beliefs. We as a society, don’t have to live this way, and we have the power and ability to change it. . These days, at almost 34 years old, I intend every day to love myself, no matter what. I work every single day to untangle the messy, disgusting messages that were fed to me so many years ago. I make immense effort to be mindful of the words I use when describing myself, and others. Who made the rules and standards that we judge our looks by? And why? What was the motive and intention? What would life be like if none of us, ever felt the pressure to be smaller or skinnier? How would life be different if we didn’t place our value on our appearance? What would our world look like if we never felt like we have the pressure to change our physical appearance, and if it was just completely status quo to be accepting of yourself? . 👀 click the bio link above to read my passionate thoughts on how to break the hold society has placed on us when it comes to our bodies. I want to gratefully thank @i_weigh @jameelajamilofficial for the incredibly brave, caring, and thoughtful life’s work she is doing on our behalf, to change the conversation around body image. She is magnificent. Follow her beautiful friends. 💙 Michelle . @michellemaros #beyourself #loveyourself #livefullyalive https://www.instagram.com/p/B2dFr42n_3B/?igshid=1gftrkxai2dyv
