Every time you've compromised your values in order to keep the peace

Every time you held your tongue to appear "professional"

Every time you stayed at work instead of taking the day to go do that thing you really wanted to do...

You taught your brain to be compliant.

​

Every time you swallowed your own feelings to take care of someone else's

Every time you dropped everything to go grab them a glass of water

Every time you cancelled your appointment because "something came up" that wasn't even remotely your problem but somehow landed on your desk...

You taught your brain to ignore your inner knowing.

​

It didn't happen all at once.

It happened over years, decades, days.

And the message became internalized.

Put others first.

Put yourself last.

ENTER: The Microdosing challenge

(no, we're not doing shrooms, but if you want to I KNOW SOMEONE GREAT!)

​

It starts with small actions

And ends with you being braver, bolder, and more bad-ass than you ever thought you could.

Here are some of my current ideas:

• Call a friend you haven't talked to in a while (WITHOUT TEXTING FIRST TO ASK IF IT'S OK)
• Invite your friend over for coffee and DO NOT CLEAN UP FIRST
• Go to a dance class. Be bad at it. Dance Full Out Anyway.
• Put down a book you're not loving*. Forever. (unless you change your mind sometime way down the line)
• While you're at it, DOG-EAR the pages of your book. I don't care if you don't need to, just do it!

So here are my questions for you:

1. Which one of the above makes you feel most uncomfortable?
2. What other challenges should we add?
3. Do you want to do this in a whatsapp group? On Discord? Just keep it in the email? LMK

Yours in love and ridiculous levels of excitement,

Megan
