This is all you need to know: You are awesome

Hiya Gorgeous,

I had a feeling you may need a reminder of your greatness today, just in case you forgot or crave an extra dose of praise.

So here goes oh, magical one, enjoy and soak in the self-care tips as well.

You are awesome.

End of story. Period. Print it, post it, feel it. You were born awesome and you will leave awesome. There may be lessons, bumps and arrests along the way, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are a totally delicious hug magnet. If folks aren’t hugging you right now, they just don’t know what they’re missing. I feel sad for them. Because you are as wonderful as I describe; there’s no need to worry about your worth or feel undeserving.

Whenever I experience those dark feelings, I know something is off in my life.

I quickly hop in my invisible plane (the same model Wonder Woman used to fly) and soar up to about 30,000 feet. The view up there is perfect. I peek out the window and evaluate my emotional landscape. Are my crops dry and undernourished? Are they being rushed? Imagine a farmer pulling on her kale buds while shouting, “Grow, you damn plant!” Does my kale feel cramped? Space is needed. Light is needed. Water is needed. Love is always, endlessly needed. You get the point. Negative self-talk is like a weed that must be pulled before it chokes out the garden of your mind. Grab it at the root when possible.

I didn’t always have this perspective.

When I was first diagnosed with cancer over a decade ago, I couldn’t see beyond the rim of my martini glass. But I didn’t stay in that place for long. Instead of falling deep into despair, or letting fear destroy me, I decided to say yes to me—yes to life. I turned to whole foods, functional medicine and a heaping dose of awesome thoughts. I also made space for quiet time. Shhh. Quiet. Meditation, prayer, love. Quiet. When the anger came (and it still does), I let myself truly feel it. Spit, foam at the mouth…cry. Process it and get it the eff out! I also quit my job and moved outta the big city. Hello, fresh air and country life! Cancer helped me create my own personal heaven. And for that, I am grateful. But you don’t have to wait or get rattled to your core to shift the way you care for yourself. Create a sacred plan today. You are worth it.

Sure there are still stumbles and setbacks.

And yes I have crap-tastic days—I don’t want to paint a picture-perfect, peachy world. But when the darkness comes, I rely on my self-care practice to guide me back to the light. The more I practice, the easier and more effortless it gets. Remember this: The greatest relationship you will ever have in this life is the relationship you have with yourself. Build it. Strengthen it. Tend and maintain your belief in your awesomeness because when you feel consistently terrible, the world suffers. Cheer yourself up, doll!

And just in case you need a little help gettin’ that grin back, press play below!

Believe me, the world needs wonderful you.

Rest a little more, recharge those batteries as my grandma would say, have a snack (preferably a healthy one!), gently pet your own head and say a sweet word (or ten). You’re ready for everything you always dreamed of. Personally, I plan on marinating in my absolute magnificence! Wanna join me?

Now I’d love to hear from you: What’s one awesome thing about yourself you can share with me? I’d sure love to learn. xo!

Peace & awesomeness,

    Thank you Kris. You are awesome.

  2. Denise says:

    I really needed to see this today as I am headed out for my first chemo treatment today. This is the darkest day for me so far.

  3. Christina says:

    I can’t see ( and accept!!!) myself as awesome when I have had a tantrum. The tantrums I have feel as if “something” is taking over… It just happened right now… With my hubby… I couldn’t handle it and I couldn’t stop it. So – how can I be awesome???

  4. Chris says:

    Thank you and you are awesome too Love and Peace I am ready and willing to do the work I love and it will be awesome

  5. Gemma says:

    Thank you for everything you do, such a blessing to have you on this planet – you are super awesome!!!

  6. Elaine Lynch says:

    My friends are awesome,my cat scan is booked fo 14 th,hoping for good news,need prayers.

  7. Leah Els says:

    Thank you Kris I really needed this to cheer me up. Human spirits are attacking me from all over and I did feel down but God lifted me up by praying and meditating on His Word. I trust in Him and have Faith in Him that He is an Awesome God full of love and we are love but some just want to steal our peace because they can’t take it when some one knows the love of God and have His love.
    You are also awesome Kris because God made you in His image and He loves you more than you can think of

  8. Karen says:

    Thank you so much for your inspiration today! It was desperately needed. I see my oncologist next month and I’m so afraid my cancer might be back because of unbelieveable stressors in my life. They are so close to my heart I haven’t been able to get away from them. Thank you again for picking me up! xo

  9. Kim Torpy says:

    Thankyou for your beautiful thoughts,it is not often I receive pleasantries from the earthly realms love and light Kim Nameste

  10. Elizabeth Johnson says:

    I correspond with people all over the world as an act of service in my 12 step recovery program. This morning a woman from Japan wrote to me and shared how dark and down in the dumps she was. I shared with her the action I take in similar circumstances, hit the send key, but then within 5 minutes got Kris’s email saying YOU ARE AWESOME! I immediately forwarded this beautiful uplifting powerful message around the world to Japan! Thank you thank you thank you…Kris, you are truly awesome! (BTW, I ordered 3 boxes of your cards! Can’t wait to get them and to gift some friends!)

  11. Sue says:

    Thank you Kris for inspiring me enough to simply just get dressed in the morning and make the most out of the day. This is my third time facing cancer and I havnt been positive at all this time you have given me the inspiration to move myself out of the black hole I sunk into. Reading how you cope is truly inspiring, if you can do it so can I . I am slowing starting to love life again. Love and hugs all the way from the UK xxx

  12. Jenna Aitken says:

    Thank you Kris for sharing this and for sharing your experiences, Im so glad i came across your on the internet:)

  13. Irene Merrill says:

    Thank you muchly!! Really needed your truth this morning!

  14. Valentina says:

    I spend time with the elderly in my neighborhood. I know it’s a “good thing to do”, but they actually have so much wisdom, warmth and they make you feel appreciated. Treating them with general respect and acknowledgement I feel shifts a little how others might treat them too. There’s so many elderly here and.. I think they are like, the best people to hang out with!

  15. Estel says:

    This website is full of great vibes. Only navigating and spending a bit time reading some posts or these lasts days finally daring to comment. Makes me a bit more happy and it brings some inspiration and quit to routine in my day-to-day life. I love it because in someway it forces me to find a better way to think, feel and finally live…
    Regarding to one awesome thing about myself it would be my strength and constancy. I had lived so many difficult experiences throughout my life and even though there were times that everything seemed impossible I’ve always had the strength to carry on thanks to my constancy and my will.

    xo xo xo happy, healthy inspirational day for everyone! 😉

  17. Mary knowles says:

    i know this was posted last month, but today Oct 7th it showed up again for me!
    I was feeling very low, I have a bad Staph Infection on very strong Antibiotics
    And just plane out of sorts, and your beautiful card and ways to replenish and take care of SELF was just what I needed to shift direction and look at how I got here.
    Thank you for Sending light and love to all , we do receive it and I just got a dose today

  18. Megan Adair says:

    Kris! Thank you! I needed that.
    One awesome thing about me is my intuition and openness to the mystical. It helps me move back into the flow of life when my brain and work-driven self are in overdrive.

  19. Angela says:

    Hey awesome kris
    Thank you for this gorgeous blog.. I loved the kale speech- very cute.
    I appreciate reading this.

    One awesome thing about me is my drive to grow.. To be aware. To return to my natural state as a way of being – which is love.. To know I am enough. To BE. To trust that I will be shown, that life has meaning. That we are all one and forever connected and to Give love to others.

    When I look back on my 35years in this lifetime I must of always been striving to return to the light. Plagued by darkness that came from the other voices that shouted your wrong or different or weird!

    Well I’m awesome because I’m celebrating my weirdness and I love it.
    I am deep and profound and thoughtful. And silly and joyful and loving.. (That’s more than 1 awesome thing about me lol- oh well it’s allowed lol)

    Wishing you and your community love..
    Love yourself
    Love life
    treat your body with love
    And spread love

    Thank you for being you everyone xx

  20. Krystal says:

    I have to pause and take a moment to say thank you. I needed to see this today more than you can imagine. I am a two-time cancer survivor (yay!). But I’ve been struggling with some dark thoughts and health issues as of late. I want and need to say yes to loving myself first and foremost. Thank you for the reminder :).

  21. Donna says:

    Your awesomeness is just so awesome and full of love! Keep sharing your love of life!

  22. Jo says:

    You are awesome too!

  23. Jamie says:

    I can sit for hours on the beach (under an umbrella & wearing sunscreen) & become one with the ocean (Gulf of Mexico).

  24. Leah says:

    I just love you Kris! I really needed this today. Love and light beautiful lady.

  25. Connie says:

    Thanks, Kris! I needed that! I’ve lived (and worked) over 21 years with cancer! The most successful thing in relation to being here that long is ‘creating health” instead of trying to “stop” a disease. And never stop learning how to improve on that! I’ve learned a lot from you!
    Love

  26. Susan Buchanan says:

    I was diagnosed with Breast cancer in 2012 and beat it. Then in July of this year I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Bone Cancer. There is no cure but there is treatment to slow the process. I have good days and bad days and I am currently at home on Short Term Disability. I miss being around my coworkers but I am getting back to my life being about me. A huge amount of stress was lifted when I was able to stay home and take care of my self. I, Susan am and will take care of Susan now. Reading your message just gave me the positive vibes that I needed just before bedtime. Thank you!

  27. liz says:

    Love the article wish I could believe. Going through a very painful divorce from a very verbally abusive man, trying to find the dignity from all the put down.

  28. Maiya says:

    Thanks, Kris! I sure needed this today! My daughter left for college far away today and I was feeling empty and like my value just decreased drastically. I’m so grateful I got up early and juiced and exercised today. Self care is the balm along with your light hearted words of wisdom!

  29. Anne says:

    Kris, I can only say how great it was to read this today. I am a single Mum (devoted) and have had constant negative vibes from my two teenagers recently, and it is so easy to feel like the whole point of my life has suddenly evaporated. I have also been low since the passing of Wayne Dyer as it has somewhat rocked my belief in self healing (I have a chronic illness, which I guess is how I started reading your amazing stuff in the first place). Thank you for teaching me about acceptance and uplifting my spirit a little today in the middle of this roller coaster ride of life. You continue to be an inspiration!! XOX

  30. Erin says:

    ✨ bookmarking this page for those crap-tastic days. Thank you for this. Thank you for your kindness, your sweetness, your awesomeness, your gentle yet straight-to-the-pointedness. Thank you for being you!!! And for sharing yourself & your words to help the rest of us rise on up with you. Just by reading your posts I can feel my positive energy vibrate at a higher level & I know it’s a ripple effect that will change the world as we know it.

  31. Wing says:

    Dear Kris,
    Thanks for reminding to value ouselves. I am having a money argument with a respected friend lately, I was a bit sad when our relationship turned sour. My friend have had a lots of blames on me that made me doubt my self value at a time, but now reminding me that is a life lesson.

    Much love,
    Wingxx

  32. Mari says:

    Thanks, Kris! Thanks for the reminder to keep it simple, with love.

  33. Janine says:

    Thank you for this, I turly needed to hear it. Being able to hold space for others is part of what makes me awesome.

  34. Roselie says:

    The thing that helps me the most is reading and marinating as you said beautiful things like this article! They help me so much! The most awesome things about myself? My endurance and my imagination. I am so thankful for both of them!

  35. Wendy says:

    I shared this with about 15 people and some cried and all thanked me for sharing your words. Some are bookmarking this so they can read it again. Thanks for putting good stuff out into the world.

  36. Lorraine says:

    You are a beautiful person whose beauty emanates THROUGH your words.
    Thank you.
    I will reread this again and again.
    I try to have a smoothie everyday. Bought a juicer, but have not yet tried it.
    (Turned 62 today. Where did my life go?)
    Am trying to block out anything that saps my energy and to make more room for the goodness I know is somewhere in this time and space. Need to find a calmer, quieter home.
    Blessings.

  37. Erna says:

    Thank you Kris !

    I am awesome because I believe in what is regarded as impossible and I never give up, trusting love as my guide .

    I am so glad I read your reminder,I haven’t done well for such a long time now.and I felt /feel lost and insecure about my future.Your words are so healing .I see now that it s ok to love myself now and to take care of myself whatever the future may bring or what I make it..I REALLY need to try one of your smoothies TODAY !

  38. Karen says:

    Kris: You are totally awesome! I am so grateful for your positive energy and super smart common sense. It is a comfort to know you are out there spreading positive news!
    Love, Peace, and Green Juice, Karen

    • Kris Carr says:

      MK, start with caring for yourself and shifting/healing the negative perceptions, everything flows from that place honey. xo

  42. Kim says:

    I was recently diagnosed with cancer too, and have been going through a transformation like you have been going through Kris! If only I knew then what I know now!! You absolutely nailed it in this post. It takes work, patience and lots and lots of love. Thank goodness for people like you and my dear friend Jodi (who introduced me to you) and sweet Heather and so many others!! La vie est belle! Hey, we would love to see you here in Canada sometime Kris. XO

  43. Christin Blincoe says:

    Thank you Kris!! I am so encouraged by everything you say to bring Sunshine to your readers. I have been in a negative mind set, way of existing lately. Not motivated to eat well or exercise because of my pain. After reading this I am inspired. I went to a body lab location to learn how to deal with my cronic body pain through a Pilates technique. It will be challenging but they also encourage juicing and a clean eating. I work full time and have 3 kids ages 18, 13, 4 so demands of work and life have been tough but I am encouraged to give myself more than I have to help my overall health. Thank you again for everything! Love the juices.

    I have a beautiful smile, lovely eyes & have met an intelligent man who loves my wierd ways

  45. Spring L says:

    Love your emails and blogs. Thank you for all that you write to inspire and motivate yourself and others. I am very much into healthy eating and holistic healing. I read as much as I can on nutrition and other aspects of healthy living. I amin a very difficult relationship since quite a few years now and away from my closest. Since last year, I have been reading often what you write when I feel really down (which has been often these past few years), and it uplifts me as it all resonates with me (as am sure it does for many others). In reply to your request, I think what is awesome about me us that I am caring and I am creative. And much more, but cannot think of everything right now when I am not feeling too good! Thank you again and all the best in what you do. Bestxx

  46. Natalie says:

    You are so right about the shock of cancer. I never realized my husband always but in and finished the conversation no matter what, but when he tried telling people what was happening with me with the cancer I was dumbfounded, even my Dr new he did it, it’s funny but he doesn’t like when I do the same thing to him. I KNOW I’M AWESOME NOW THANK YOU

  47. Rachel says:

    Thank you for this article. Just what I needed today. You are an angel xxxx

  48. Elizabeth says:

    Love this post! Here are some awesome things about me…after being boxed in for many years in a relationship (and I am still there, but that’s another story) I am getting back to being the badass girl that I used to be before life got in the way. Here are some things I have done or tried recently…riding a mechanical bull, riding on the shoulders of a cute guy riding a unicycle, and beating a bunch of people, many of them teenagers, at a pool game where you are basically running across a long yoga mat that is on top of the water. And I just turned 49. For my 50tj birthday I want to try cliff jumping!

  49. Nancy says:

    The one awesome thing about myself is my positive attitude. It helps me live my life with out fear and keep growing in fabulous ways.

  50. Jackie says:

    I’m feeling good about my recent decision to leave a legacy to my 13 daughter. My legacy? FAITH! I want my daughter as well as my husband, other family & friends to say that I was a beautiful example of someone with enormous Faith. Having Faith leads to having peace. Faith is a knowing that “All is Well”. Faith is knowing that the Universe supports me & that I’m right where I need to be. Faith gives me the confidence to try new ventures. And the bigger my Faith is, the better I am. That means I will continue to grow my Faith, to nurture it and share it…to leave Faith as my legacy. I know that if my daughter has Faith, she will have much wellness, peace, joy & love.
    XO, Jackie PS Kris, thank you for nurturing my Faith

  51. Alison says:

    Thank you for this message. I really needed it. I’ve had a craptastic couple of weeks and was letting it get me down. Time to reset!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  52. Mary says:

    Kris,

    My husband and I care for our daughter, Mary Addison, with special needs and seizures. We have been doing this for 23 years. We also have a son, William, who is 21 and a junior in college. Getting a grip and plugging into my sources for joy and love are essential each day. What gets hard for me is when the people I love are having bad days! I want to fix it, make it all better, but most of the time, I can’t. Worse yet they don’t want me to help.

    I’ve realized that my spiraling down because they are down helps no one. Sometimes it just feels wrong to stay up when the folks I love are down, but not meddlin’ and staying out of the well puts me in a better position to throw a rope if anyone wants one. Just sayin’….

  53. Angelique says:

    Thanks Kris. I just printed and posted your message. Your words are so inspirational and always give me the kick or better yet the gentle push that I need. My awesomeness is about being positive (for the most part) and always seeing the best in the situation or people.

  54. Tricia says:

    Slowly uncovering ways to steep in my awesomeness…like opening to experiencing the same kind of awe for my very being, that I have when taking in a beautiful spider web. Too often I forget I’m just as amazing. <3

  55. Lola says:

    I love this perspective shifter Kris & want to share a great way to visually remind ourselves of just how awesome we are: personalized You Are Awesome posters by Kal Barteski (https://youareawesomeco.com)

    Something about seeing my name with my favorite qualities and my spirit animal in a beautiful print is a really powerful reminder. The poster I created for my son is hung opposite his bed so its’ the first and last thing he sees everyday (his request!) It says: Hamish, you are epic, awesome & beloved.

  56. Emma says:

    You are crazy omniscient, Kris – I SO needed this today. A recent romantic setback had me full of icky self-doubt, and you helped remind me my awesomeness is defined by me, and me alone. I have an awesome curiosity about the world and awesome love for my family and friends (and awesome skills on a pogo stick). Thank you for the reminder! xxxooo

  57. Lily says:

    You rock, Kris! THANK YOUUUU!!
    I have so many dear people in mind to whom to forward this; am smiling just thinking about them reading/feeling and blooming from this post!!

  58. Jenee says:

    I’m good at loving people. In hard times, when we literally don’t have two nickles to rub together, I try to find someone who needs a hug, a listening ear, a good laugh, and do that for them. It’s a reminder that the world is much bigger than what I have going on, and takes me out of that sad/angry headspace, where I can be free and happy despite the circumstances.

  59. Jennifer quance says:

    Hi Kris thank you so much for that pick me up I so needed it that day I never think of myself as awesome

  60. Kristen DiOrio says:

    You have absolutely no idea how much I needed this message today!! You are helping me take my downward spiral and move it up! Synchronocity thank you!!!!!!

  61. Adrianne says:

    Kris,

    I just wrote a blog about marinating yesterday! I just bring that up because I love we tapped into the same concept.

    Yours resinates with me so much. I am absolutely neglecting my self care, and now I am going to write my sacred plan today. I don’t feel good, and I want to. I know the words you shared are true and will help me. Thank you for your awesomeness.

  62. Thank you so much for this beautiful post! I am a homeschooling mom of 3 beautiful little kids, and I do find a lot of my time and energy goes towards the care of others – and not so much for myself. This post was a beautiful reminder of the importance of self care. I loved your focus on awesomeness, sadly it is often far easier to beat ourselves up rather than focus on the good. But at the end of the day it is always a choice. Why not choose to focus on the positive and practice some self love instead?

  63. Kari says:

    One of the best compliments I’ve ever received was from my friend Hayley:
    “You give love out all over the place.”

  64. Emma says:

    Thank you xxx

  65. Casey says:

    Kris, I’m in Salzburg, Austria now, in part because of my “recovery from cancer” journey, that your first CSC book inspired in me. I decide for myself, how to bring life to my life. I now respect that obstacles are the journey.

  66. Samantha says:

    We’re so often on the same wavelength Kris! I’ve been feeling badly about the fact that I haven’t been juicing this summer. But this morning my husband surprised me and made me a juice to take to work, and as I sit here sipping it and reading your words, I realize that juice or not juice, I need to love myself. Period. Thank you. xoxo.

  67. Donna says:

    I’m crying…………………
    I need to let the emotions OUT instead of stuffing them down deep.
    Today has already been completely craptastic. I’m going to sit here at my desk, set a timer for 5 minutes for a small pity party, then haul myself outside for a walk around the block once, or twice, or however many times it takes to get rid of this stinkin’ thinkin’!
    Thanks sweetie – you are awesome, and so am I =)

  68. Susanna says:

    Kris, this is perhaps your best blog, ever.
    Love love love to you and all awesome followers (even as we’re already missing Dr Dyer),
    Susanna

  69. Katie says:

    This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. I definitely needed this today! Thank you for being a source of such positive energy! Xoxo

  70. Mamen Diaz says:

    Hello.
    I would now if your books and vídeos, are in spanish.
    Thanks.

    • Kris Carr says:

      Hi Mamen,

      Thanks so much for your question. As of right now they are not available in Spanish, but I’m passing along the suggestion. Thank you!

  71. Alegria says:

    Nothing better than taking my dog on her beach walk! Clears the head, expands the heart and juices up my joy factor. Nice to grab some sea glass (mermaid’s tears) for some jewelry too! Looking out on the ocean makes me so content. Thank you , Kris, for the inspiration to take charge on my nine year colon cancer journey. It’s been scary but also very wonderful!

  72. Lori says:

    Thank you Kris. I need this today. And synchronistically I received your pack of love notes yesterday and the “You are awesome” card is the first I pulled. Thank you for sharing yourself. It helps so many.

    I really needed your supportive self-care tips. I am in the middle of a marriage crisis and just can’t find my way to the surface to move forward. I am a 53 year old woman artist and stay home mom. My husband had a brief affair that has left me devastated. I have never felt more vulnerable and alone in my life. I am tired of feeling like a victim and disappointed in my life choices. I am afraid to stay and I am afraid to go…this journey is a tough one and I am loosing steam. I am a healthy eater yet I am mired in the moment and don’t know how to release my anger and forgive. I am a gluten free vegan and working on a cookbook for my “non” vegan friends and family. You are an inspiration and my daily pick-up. I just want to thank you for being you and reaching out.

    Thank you for this post today. You are awesome. I am awesome (it feels strange to say that about myself). In reading your post, during a tough time I am going through in my life right now, where I feel alone and disconnected, this was a gentle mind shifter and a valuable lesson to me. Thank you thank you thank you. I am awesome (squirmy feeling) because I am kind to everyone I come in contact with.

    What’s truly awesome about me…. My hair! I freakin love my hair. It’s big, curly, super strong and is basically my trademark. Plus it’s really pretty too. xo

    Hi Kris,

    I am so grateful that after all these years of beating myself up and feeling misserable while doing that, I’m finally starting to appreciate my own selfworth. A lot has changed in the past two years. I’m feeling better now in my 40’s than in my 30’s. Imagine that. I’m feeding my body as much as healthy foods and drinks as possible, resulting in less and less IBS pains too. I’ve also bought your Crazy Sexy Love notes. They look really beautiful. Thank you so much for the inspiration. ❤️ Melanie

  83. Marci says:

    I woke up this morning feeling a bit ‘off’. This was the best thing to wake up to I could imagine. Thank you universe for your divine synchronicity! Cheers to you Kris!

  84. I send you all my love! This is perfect for my journey and I’m going to practice taking the invisible plane out daily. Thank you

    Dear Kris,
    I really love your honesty. I sometimes feel I’m causing the physical pain I am experiencing because I’m not doing enough affirmations ~ you seem to be the only person in the “positivity” movement who admits to having a bad day once in a while, and THAT is what helps me get through my tough times. Thank you for that, and for your cheerful and encouraging spirit, too. I have read all of your books, and I recommend you to SO many people.
    As for sharing something awesome about myself, I would say it’s my creativity and my ability to connect with children and help them feel great. And, I have an idea for you for someday ~ I love your crazy sexy love notes, and I think children would love them, too. It might be fun to create some that used children’s drawings.
    Wishing you the very best September! And thanking you for the positive influence you have had on my life!

      Hey Paula
      Sending you love all the way from the UK..
      I know many people in the wellness movement and many people we think of as thought leaders and healthy people on this path and ALL of them have bad days..
      Me too and in super into personal development, healthy living and so forth..
      In fact I have bad days often. Or bad moments even..
      It’s totally normal isn’t it!

      Thank you for your comment and share.
      You are doing your best in any given moment with your current level of awareness – as Lousie hay says.. Focus on what you do and love where you are at..

    Kris, you are magnificent! Thank you for all you are! And for this message – I’m taking this to my day as a mantra and action:

    ‘I plan on marinating in my absolute magnificence!’

    One thing that I deeply love about myself is being love, I know I am love and I know that we can dissolve all boundaries with love. I am happy each time when I chose to tap into this strenght instead of cloudy ego dream. Just as you are, shiny, truthful love, spreading joy to all of us! Thank you, Kris, for supporting all of us! let’s have something nutritious and happy today for our body and soul!

    xoxo

    After six year of pregnancy, nursing and little ones, I am rediscovering my inner cowgirl! I have always been adventurous and very self sufficient, traveling by myself, repairing and racing my own cars, working hard physically in male dominated jobs and in general doing a lot of things that most girls don’t usually do. Since I got married and had babies and literally have forgotten this part of myself. But it has not gone away and now I feel like I am coming out from under the blanket of early motherhood. It feels so good to remember who I am and now I even feel much more capable as a mother. I so look forward to sharing these parts of myself with my two young daughters. I am awesome! Thanks for these words this morning ❤️

      Thanks for the reminder that days for myself are not gone for good! As a mother of a soon-to-be 2 year old with another one on the way I needed to hear this

  88. Brenda Campos says:

    Hey Lovely Lady Kris!

    Thank you for your awesomeness which reminded me of my own! 🙂

    Trying to come to NY to see you speak at You Can Do It-2015 (all the way from Brazil!)! Sad Dr Wayne Dyer will not be speaking, but I know his message will continue to resonate!

    Have a fabulous one and thank you for being so inspiring!

    I am awesome. You are awesome, Kris. My dogs are awesome. My love for animals and my compassion for others is awesome. My current work to manifest the property of my dreams and open my animal healing centre is awesome. Thank you x

  90. Carol says:

    Thanks for the reminder of the importance of self care. One of my favourite things to do is to watch the sunrise – and then meditate. That fills me with joy and gratitude.

  91. Joyce says:

    Thanks for the reminder Kris. I take myself to a yoga class and get on the mat, even on days when I’d prefer not to, I’m always glad I made the effort, and only regret days I don’t.

    • Eileen says:

      Just perfect time today I will not be my best til I get rid of the crappy stress very bad communication issues with my husband and also financial issues he won’t see a therapist but I guess I will go myself can’t hurt I juice smoothies try to exercises but this chronic stress is killing me thanks for the positive energy

      • Delia says:

        Eileen, keep at it and stay strong. Follow your intuition. Don’t worry about the results. Everything will work out. Once I started to do that my stress lessened but I was in a similar situation, still in progress but I keep reminding myself that i don’t want to dragged in further or anymore. Whatever the outcomes are, they were meant to be and you’ll feel better about yourself.
