Dear ,

I was listening to a podcast this week, and I heard a quote that stopped me in my tracks: “I’ve lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” Read that again... I had to look it up to really absorb it. It’s by Mark Twain. The more I thought about it, the more it hit home.

As I listened to him vent, I shared that quote from Mark Twain with him. He paused, really listened, and it resonated so deeply with him. The best part? I saw the tension melt away from his shoulders. That one simple quote changed his perspective—and in that moment, it changed mine too. ✨

What Stories Are You Telling Yourself?

We all have our own stories, don’t we? The things we fear or worry about that might happen but haven’t yet. Fall is a season that teaches us about letting go—letting go of the old and making room for the new. 🍂

This week, ask yourself: what stories are you holding onto? Are they serving you? Or are they creating stress and worry about things that might never even happen? 🤔

This Week’s Fall Self-Care Ritual: The Letting Go Ritual 🍁✨

Take a moment today and ask yourself, "What if the stories I’ve been telling myself aren’t true?" Just like the trees let go of their leaves, it might be time to release the worries weighing you down and trust that things will unfold as they should.

Affirmation for the Week:

“I release the stories I’ve been holding onto that no longer serve me. Just like the trees let go of their leaves, I am free to embrace the present and trust that life unfolds with ease.” 🌿🍃

This Saturday, take a deep breath, reflect on what you’re holding onto, and ask if it’s time to let it go. Remember, just like Oliver’s imagined drama that never came to pass, sometimes what we fear is simply a story we’ve told ourselves. It’s time to let those stories fall away, making room for peace and clarity. 🌟

What are you ready to release this week? Hit reply and let me know what stories you’re letting go of this season. 💌

With love and care,

Charity 💖
