THE WORK
Follow Freedom
- What would a morning feel like waking up sober?
- What would a day not consumed by fear of whether I
will black out look like? - What would I do with my time and energy, if it wasn’t
consumed by my obsession with alcohol?
When you question from there, instead of out of fear and
shame about how you got here or why you can’t stop or
believe you are just like your family, you can’t move forward
with the same momentum.
Instead, close your eyes:
- What is the first thing that comes into your wee noggin? What prison have you imposed on yourself?
- What if, today, you told one other person that?
Shame cannot live in the light, sweet friend. I have never
publicly told the story of being arrested, never shared it on
social media, and because of this book and the value I feel this
story will bring, I had to tell my children about this before we
published it.
I had to show them that I made mistakes, that perfectionism is against our religion in this home, and how, instead, we strive for knowing ourselves and becoming our favorite version of ourselves. Thank you to Melissa Parsons, who was the first person I ever heard talk about favorite version over best self. My life has never been the same.
- Does your favorite version of yourself do this thing?
- What would your favorite version of yourself tell you?
- Write down everything amazeballs that will happen in your ONE.Life, if you take yourself out of this selfimposed prison and you are free to be that favorite version of yourself.
- Who can help you?
- Who will support this shift in you?
- Tell that person you want their help. This will change your life from the inside out.
