On January 20th I started a program called 8 Weeks to Wellness at Mind Body Barre. Among other things, it involves intuition and self discovery. One of the assignments was to write a letter to your 6 year old self. I put this off for a few days. I knew it would be emotional and wasn't ready to open such old wounds. When I finally started writing it, I was near tears after just a couple of sentences. Since part of this journey and the journey of being a writer is putting yourself out there, I have decided to share my letter here. I look forward to your thoughts.
Official Assignment: Letter to Yourself - Write a letter to your six year old self, using the knowledge you have today. What would you tell her? What advice would you give? What will you tell her about who you are now?

First I'll state the obvious: 2018 is finally here! For a lot of people that means trying to change. I don't want to change. I want to improve myself. I'll never be perfect, but I can always try to be a better me.
Now, for the really exciting news, for me anyway: I have been officially approved to work remotely three days week. Apparently, if you ask, you shall receive. Sure, there is a 50% chance you'll get a no, but if you don't ask at all then you have 0% chance of getting what you want. See what asserting oneself can get you?! I simply told my executive that in order to keep my sanity I wanted to keep the schedule that was supposed to be temporary and make it permanent. Honesty is the best policy. (Yes, I realize I sound cornier with every sentence). Since I work my butt off for her and the company that probably helped her decide in my favor. Acknowledgement: I want to continue to acknowledge what Mind Body Barre and the people who work there have done for me which, in short, is save my fucking life. Affirmation: Money comes to me easily and naturally. Gratitude: Thanks to my husband for standing by my side during this roller-coaster we call life. |
