Timelines. Losing X lbs by X date. Fitting into the dress by X date. We’ve all been there. But is it really serving you?

Today, we discuss the arbitrary timelines we give ourselves, and Iris shares a current experience in working through this very thing.

“People say ‘I want to look in my dress, I want to look good in a bikini.’ What if you already do? What if you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to feel great and look great until you hit this number on the scale or hit this aesthetic look? What if you could do the inner work and be confident now and still work for what you want to work for, but without waiting for that arbitrary permission from that arbitrary thing that you’re waiting to get validation from.”

“If you aren’t this goal weight by this day, is your house going to burn down?”
