quitting doesn't have to be a big thing
A few years ago, a childhood friend of mine and I were both back home for Christmas in our small town. So, we decided to go grab a drink in a bar that had just opened up in the small town just next to our small town .
I ordered a Malbec. It was delicious. But I sneezed after my first sip. My eyes got itchy. And then I sneezed again, and again... and again. I felt like I'd made out with a cat. (I'm allergic to cats.)
I suffered through the evening and the night and finally woke up the next morning with just a slight tickle in my throat.
That evening, I was offered wine. I said, "no, thank you."
The next day at Christmas dinner, I was offered wine. I said, "no, thank you."
For days and then weeks and then months and then years, I felt into every opportunity to drink alcohol, and each time, I consciously decided that my answer was "no, thank you."
It's been more than four years since I last drank alcohol and I only recently realized, "Huh, I am a person who doesn't drink."
Quitting doesn't have to be a big thing. Sometimes multiple conscious decisions add up to a quit.
The amazing humans in Quit Your Shit (ahem, "Four Weeks to Quit the Stuff that Isn't Serving You") are inspiring me so much with their awareness, bravery and growth. You don't have to be in the course to quit the stuff that isn't working for you. Go ahead. Take a brave baby step. And then share it with me please. I'm cheering for you.
I love you.
Love,
Kelsey
P.S. This week on The Find your Awesome Podcast, I aired a bonus meditation called Right Here, Right Now to help you practice being present. And then I shared a conversation with Allison Pelot. We talked about her journey to awaken to her intuition, her experiences with past life explorations and the value of praising ourselves. Listen to Uncover the Real You with Allison Pelot here.
