Notice people who...

Hi loved one,

How are you? 

Take a moment to check in, how are you in this moment? It's so easy to rush around and move from one thing to the next without really connecting to ourselves. 

My word for 2020 was 'Embrace' and my intention was to embrace those who embrace me. And leave behind those those who do not. Little did I know that a global pandemic would occur, giving the perfect opportunity for true friends and loved ones to embrace me and old ones to reconnect. It was also the perfect arena for 'supposed' friends to show their true colours. 

As you read the above quote, what's the first thing that came up for you?

For me, it reiterated my commitment to myself. I make a conscious effort to not only "keep around" but to cherish, value and express my love to those who celebrate with me and for me, and consistently show up for me.  Not those who come out of the woodwork when they want something. Or are going through a tough time and want free coaching. Or those who sh*t on my dreams and aspirations due to jealousy or limited thinking. 

So as you're reading this, I invite you to take stock of the past year - and the past few years:

Who shows up? Consistently?
Who celebrates your achievements?
Who jumps up and down with you when you're excited about your goals and good fortune?
Who encourages you without pulling you into their orbit or projecting their stuff onto you?

Keep those around.
Hold them close.
Let them know what they mean to you.
And be that for them too. 

The moment I read the quote above I immediately thought of my bestie. The one who has been all those things for me, and with me, since we were 16. I sent it to her straight away with the words:

"It's you!! Thanks mate 😘"

She replied later with "It's also you 😍"

So take stock. Let the ones who are not this for you and your life slide away. Meanwhile, embrace and appreciate the ones who do. And if you feel you don't have that, come join us in the Togetherness Facebook group 💖

I hope this resonated and I wish you a wonderful week ahead and remember to cherish yourself too :)

With all my love,
Chandrika ❣️
