I love being a woman.
There’s really nothing like it. We are so beautiful, creative, nurturing, and strong.
We can handle just about anything, and do it with style and grace.
Seriously, there isn’t a day when I’m not in awe of the greatness and cool factor that comes from being a woman.
(Maybe that’s why I’ve devoted my practice to serving women, freeing them from the diet roller-coaster, and getting them back into Living In Their Sweet Spot™. We’ve got better things to do than diet and not love our bodies, thank you very much!)
But here’s the thing…
I talk to a lot of women everyday, and what I keep discovering time and time again is that most women are suffering from a major Vitamin D deficiency….and it’s not the one you hear about on the news, get from the sun, or as a supplement.
It’s a whole different kind…
The Vitamin D I’m talking about is Deservability.
Yep, deservability is an essential nutrient and just like any other essential nutrient, if you lack it, you can suffer some serious health problems. (Not to mention emotional, spiritual, and mental ones too).
Many women out there are AMAZING at taking care of everyone else out there; they kick ass at their jobs, they are wonderful moms, friends, sisters, daughters and lovers but they fail to see how freakin’ important THEY are and that THEY deserve so much more than they are currently allowing themselves to have.
I see it so much in my coaching practice…and it’s the number one reason why a woman won’t sign on to work with me.
They don’t quite feel that they are worth investing in themselves.
They keep putting their needs last.
They keep putting their health and happiness on the back burner.
Sadly,for many it takes a huge wake-up call in the form of a health crisis to hear the message that their body has been sending for a LONG time.
I’m guilty of it too and used to be REALLY Vitamin D deficient…lucky for me, I did invest in myself, and I have a whole posse of beautiful women to call me out when my Vitamin D is getting low.
And straight away, I give myself a healthy dose and give myself something I deserve.
Some lovely flowers to look at while I work.
My favorite cup of tea.
A yummy yoga class.
Why? Because I’m worth it.
See, here’s the thing. It’s easy to start correcting this deficieny.
It’s starts with believing you are worth it and continues with the following…
1) Self-authorizing your happiness…you don’t need someone else’s permission.
2) Take consistent action…and it’s ok to start with the small things. (See above list and video for ideas!)
3) Connect with another lovely lady who will hold you accountable for it. My homegirl and sista from another mista, Susana, is not only an amazing BFF but also my number one accountability partner in the Vitamin D department. We have so much fun keeping each other on the joy-path and cranking up our Vitamin D.
That’s the power of sisterhood…we can hold that space for one another and lift each other up and out of this deficiency (and lots of other ones that I will be sharing with you in future blog posts!)
It’s also one of the reasons I created by Sweet Spot Group Immersion Experience™, which kicks off January 24th. I wanted women to have the space and the know how as to how they can create more for their lives, more joy, more fun around their bodies, and leave the diet hell in the past. But again, it starts by them first seeing and knowing that they deserve more.
Once you realize that you deserve to feel, look, and be your personal best, it becomes easier and easier to eat healthy, make time to prepare yourself nourishing foods, move your body with pleasure, make time for your besties, go to yoga, and sleep enough, just to name a few joys.
If no one else has told you this today, let me proudly tell you…
You, my friend, DESERVE it.
(And if you have taken a look at my program and you are thinking, “I really want that”, once again…You DESERVE it! Click HERE to learn all about it!)
I hope you’ll peep today’s video and please, let me know if this speaks to you and report back! I want to hear how you are upping your Vitamin D, how you’re doing it, and who you have enlisted to help you in the journey.
If you need more inspiration, check out Mama Gena. She is the Queen of Pleasure and had certainly given me lots of inspiration. All of her books are seriously awesome and will up your Vitamin D pronto!
Looking forward to hearing all about your Vitamin D adventures!
Aw, I love this idea! You’re so right – it feels like as women we’re often socialized to not value ourselves for who we are.
Hey Becky!!! So glad you liked it and resonated with the message….come back and check out the video, girl! Didn’t get a chance to put it up yet! xoxo
Thanks, Becky! Let me know how you add some Vitamin D to your world 🙂
