Play full out. Be yourself. And smile! We all make mistakes, we're all members of the human race and we all have off days. But if we lean into ourselves rather than pretending to be something we are not, life can be fabulous. When we embrace our imperfections, there's something perfect in there, after all. In this thought-provoking video, I share my perspective on acknowledging all emotions and experiences, including those we might label as negative. I believe every emotion is an integral part of being human, and true self-acceptance involves embracing each one with open arms. So, let's dive into this journey of owning every aspect of ourselves.

By understanding the necessity of "off days" and challenging the idea of constant positivity, I unravel the misconception that we need nonstop gratitude and joy. Drawing from my personal experience, I address the disconnect I felt when advised to "choose positivity." Sometimes, it's okay not to be OK, and acknowledging our emotions without judgment is vital for inner peace and self-acceptance.

I delve into the impact of societal pressure to conform and the notion of "should." I stress the significance of self-ownership and defining our paths, reminding viewers that life comprises positive and negative experiences. We can embrace our messy and complicated emotions and maintain authenticity and connection amidst life's chaos.

We discuss the power of language and shifting from "I must" and "I should" to "I get to." Transforming obligations into opportunities can create a profound mindset shift, allowing us to appreciate life's experiences. By acknowledging and exploring every emotion, we create space for growth, understanding, and compassion for ourselves and others.I wholeheartedly believe that our humanity is defined by the multifaceted nature of our emotions and experiences. Embracing our shadows not only brings us closer to authentic living but also fosters a deeper understanding of our true selves. What may feel like an absolute truth today could change tomorrow, and that's part of the beauty of life. It's time we stopped resisting our emotions and instead embarked on a journey of curiosity, acceptance, and growth.

Join me in this conversation about embracing life's complexities and the value of owning every aspect of ourselves. Let's embark on this transformative journey towards authentic living together.This is a tongue-in-cheek video that I recorded when I was starting to feel my own absurdity. It's designed to make you laugh, but the sentiment is so real.
