Happy Monday night! I wanted to write an entry much earlier today, but the work day got kind of crazy, and time just seemed to slip away from me. But I wanted to fit in time to write something today, nonetheless. For my second Girl October entry, I wanted to talk about who Girl October is, exactly.
Girl October isn't a real person, per se. She represents my highest self--the me that isn't being driven by being right or impressing others or having petty jealousies and constantly complaining. She's the 'me' that knows to just get still and quiet sometimes. She's the me who knows to let go of the old mental tapes and stories about who I am or what 'they' did to me.
She's the me that knows that comparing myself to others is pointless, and believing that others have it more together than me and are better than me, is a waste of time. She's also the 'me' that knows to drop any stories about myself being better than or superior to anyone else. She recognizes that such beliefs are once again, B.S. and just more mind stuff.
Girl October is action oriented. She recognizes that there may be issues that need to be addressed, but she doesn't waste her time whining about it. If there's a perceived problem, she focuses on finding a solution. She's always asking herself, what's the highest choice I can make in this situation? How can I make my life and the lives of those around me, better?
She always strives to be a better person, while recognizing that she will never be perfect--and that it's okay to screw things up sometimes (because it's going to happen). She's at peace with God. She makes time for God. She accepts herself while she's on the road to getting things together. She works at taking care of herself physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.
She responds rather than reacts. She's creative, rather than reactive. She's an active participant in life. She loves. She gives people the benefit of the doubt and tries to put herself in their shoes. She tries not to be so judgmental. She recognizes when her ego has taken over, and understands that she is not it. She embraces and accepts life on its terms. She's thankful. She's curious. She's a seeker. She's the best of who I am.
We all have a Girl (or Boy) October within us. It's us at our highest and best potential. It is the perfection within the imperfection. It is the best us. It is the best me. That is Girl October. But since I am not totally there yet (not by a long shot), I somewhat feel like I've just written a load of crap. But I am going to put it out there anyway. That's what Girl October would do--show her self some love despite the insecurities.
Have an awesome Monday night, people. The Sleepy Hollow premiere is on! So I'm outta here! Until next time........
Love yourselves fiercely.
