Summer of 2018, I kept hearing about this book "Girl Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis. It is kind of a motivational get your stuff together book. I am all about personal development, I had to have it! I am in love with her message and the book was fun to read. Then I processed to follow her on all social media platforms. This women is amazing, she gives straightforward in your face advice.
She holds a conference called "Rise" it is a personal growth conference that as she explains is like a women's church conference without the church part. She brings women together and helps them grow as a person and want to be part of this community that she has. Here's the thing I sooo want to go to this conference but it is crazy expensive and not happening for me.
I find out she has taken this conference and made the highlights into a documentary. They were playing it in theaters for 2 days in 2019. I decided I was going no matter what. It was almost sold out when I ordered my ticket but I was in....
I went to this all by myself, I laughed and cried during this whole thing. She just wants to empower women and teach you to be good to yourself. She throws out awesome ideas and techniques to help you on this journey. I am going to give a few examples....
Embrace your past---my scars heal but they are still here.... I am a beautiful warrior!!!
Give yourself credit for what you have done in your life.
Make a playlist that makes you happy. This can turn your mood around!!!
Give yourself 1 hour a day for 5 days a week for whatever you want to do.
Once a week check in with yourself.
All of these are tools to use to set yourself up for success. She has the follow up to this book coming out in March 2019 "Girl Stop Apologizing" and the documentary will be on Amazon Prime soon.
I want to encourage and recommend both books and the documentary to anyone that wants to next level herself. We have to get better about how we treat ourselves. I can have some very negative thoughts go through my brain and it can mess with me at times. I try to remember a friend would never talk to me like that and I have to be my best friend so I can't believe those nasty thoughts.
Thank you for reading this post and I just want to tell you I love you for being you.
