Do you ever watch people show up , especially in the online space , and it feels like they have the best life ever , like they're sharing all of these amazing things , and then , when you really take a look at it , you're like , okay , they literally are just romanticizing their life . They truly just enjoy their own freaking life .
I've been thinking about this a lot lately because I think that when it comes to living in the present , when it comes to being grateful , you know , most of us have moments in our life that maybe feel very redundant , feel very groundhog , dayish , so to speak , but when we are living in the present moment , when we are living , being very aware , very self-aware ,
we can romanticize our life so much more . One of the things that at the beginning of the I think it was the InstaStory strategy training I talked about was really making what you do a big deal . Like you are a big deal , showing up like you're a big deal , showing up your life like your life is a big deal . I don't go to Hawaii as much as I want .
Trust me , I wish I could go so much more , right ? But there is this thing that I get to decide am I going to find the joy ? Am I going to find the moments in the present , am I going to find the opportunities for gratitude in everything I do , every single opportunity of every single day ?
Yes , because if we don't , that's where we get into living like almost going through the day , subconsciously , right , that's where we forget to appreciate what we have .
And this is not like a episode to like hound you about being grateful , but it is something to bring back awareness to our consciousness , right , like I used to remember saying somebody saying something about like doing your gratitude , like of course I'm grateful , and I used to get all like all the feels and offended like of course I'm grateful .
But it's not about questioning your gratitude or questioning your thankfulness . It's truly about you , you personally , identifying the things that you're grateful for . Why are you grateful for them , how are you grateful for them ? Like , really identifying like what , why is this important to me ?
And sometimes we take a lot of things for granted , not only as business owners , but just in life , right , and it's like thinking about how can I show up , in more of a way , with the belief first from me believing that I'm a big , freaking deal , right , that my life is freaking amazing , that I want everyone to feel this level of freedom in their life ,
right , but I think my life is boring , I think I don't do anything exciting . I think I'm literally walking around half the time in coherent right Subconscious , whatever you want to call it , and I think that's the disconnect , right . We get to remember that . We get to decide . I mean , you get up every morning . You probably do similar things every morning .
You probably do similar things throughout the day and throughout the week and throughout the month . But the question is , are you making them more of a acknowledgement that this is my life ? I get to be an entrepreneur . I get to get up at 4.30 AM if I want , or I get to sleep until 10 AM if I want .
I get to stay up past midnight if I want Like , I get to do this . I get to stop work in the middle of the day and go take care of something without asking for permission . I get to do things . But we also have to remember that we also get to do or get to create beautiful impact .
Right , but it starts with us seeing and believing that our life is freaking amazing , seeing and believing and finding the moments that are amazing , even if there are tough times , really being present in the moments when you get to snuggle with your kids or your fur babies , those moments when you're all laughing as a family , those moments when you get to sit down
and have a meal together , those moments that you get to wake your kid or your spouse or somebody up right . These are magical moments and we get to remember that this is how we truly romanticize our life living in the presence and being in gratitude for so many things .
