Hey there darling,
Today as you're getting ready,
Let's take a few moments to really settle in to yourself.
This isn't about putting on some perfect face for the world,
It's about showing up real just as you are.
Not so darling means letting go of perfect,
It's accepting the parts of yourself and your day that don't need fixing.
So pop in your headphones or play this on your bluetooth speakers and let's get ready from the inside out.
First,
Let's get grounded,
Maybe you're standing or sitting in front of a mirror or in the closet figuring out what to wear today.
If you feel cold,
Soften your gaze or close your eyes for a moment.
Now take a deep breath in,
Filling up your lungs,
And let it out nice and slow.
Do it again,
Inhale,
Feel the air refresh you,
And exhale letting any heaviness start to melt away.
This is your time to check in with yourself.
What is it that makes you want to be so perfect my darling?
For me,
I say the hell with perfect,
As this is just a little reset to remind you of that.
If you close your eyes,
Let that have been a reset to see yourself or your clothes in a new way.
Now with a new way of seeing yourself,
Maybe you're unsure of what to wear or your hair isn't exactly giving you the freshest vibes today.
Don't fret,
As you go through your routine,
Think about each thing you're doing as a small act of care.
Washing your face,
Feel the water waking you up,
Doing your hair,
Think of it as putting on a little confidence,
Picking out your clothes,
Be you.
If today is casual,
Stay comfy,
If today is business,
Trust that part.
Every step of this routine is a chance to feel good about the skin you're in.
It ain't about being perfect,
It's just about taking care of you exactly as you are.
Now picture your day ahead,
As you keep getting ready,
Wearing what called to you,
Picture yourself moving through your day,
See yourself staying steady,
Breathing through the little hiccups and handling whatever comes with a little peace and grit.
If things go off script,
Remember,
Life's not so darling anyway,
And that is just fine.
You showed up as you are,
And it's how you wanted to,
So let's tell ourselves just that.
Now repeat after me,
Even if it's just in your head.
My darling,
You are beautiful.
I'm stepping into this day steady and strong.
I carry peace with me even if the world gets hectic.
I'm showing up as my whole real self,
And that's enough.
As you wrap up here,
Take one last breath and set your intention for the day.
Feel that calm and quiet confidence,
You're grounded,
And remember,
Life doesn't have to be perfect,
And neither do you.
