Hey there, Jen here, and this is a Happy Bit.

I want to talk to you today about the vibrant happy women movement.

Why do we need a movement?

Well, I think often about Pinterest and social media and magazines and TV shows and HGTV and all of these things that present the picture perfect version of homes and lives

and families. And then we compare all of these pictures, people's outsides, to our insides,

to our worst self. and we feel guilty.

And what does that cause inside of us?

Stress.

Not good enough.

Lack.

Scarcity.

I don't know about you, but those aren't the feelings I want to have.

Instead, I want to feel abundant, excellent, amazing, beautiful, useful, like I'm contributing.

And to do that, I cannot, I absolutely cannot compare myself to other people. And I want to give

you that same challenge. Starting today, take some time each day, I've said it before,

to get out of the forest of these voices, these shoulds, these social expectations.

Get out of that forest. Climb up to that mountain moment. Close your eyes and breathe in. Observe how you're feeling.

Observe your thoughts. Observe your body. Notice what's going on there. And then let go of any

thought, any belief, any feeling that doesn't serve you. The feelings that serve you help you to rise and to make a

difference, to contribute, to share your gifts, to do what you feel passionate about, to make the

world better. When we compare and we feel not good enough, we shrink back.

We don't shine.
