I have a huge collection of ridiculous pants, they changed my life. And you probably have some version of your own ridiculous pants that similarly can change your life to, to really empower you and open you up in so many ways in life. The story on the ridiculous pants is this. I was drawn to a pair of patterned vibrantly colored kind of out their pants, and I thought they were cool. And so when I go to festivals and stuff, I would wear them and people be like, those are the best pants ever. How cool I love your pants, I'd be like, I know, I feel amazing. But I was kind of relegating them for when I was with my people at the festivals, right where I felt safe. Being myself this ridiculous pant wearing Christian. And in everyday life, I call them the safety pants, I was the jeans girl, I would wear the jeans all the time. You know, maybe dress it up, if I had a meeting and I wondering personal body, or whatever, what I started to realize was, I feel happier when I wear the pants. Right? I feel more me I feel more alive. And you know, I was like, I'm just I'm just gonna wear the pants. That's what I'm gonna do. And then like as, and there's a lot of this is that Monday morning quarterbacking kind of after the fact looking back and realizing stuff. But I started wearing them more every day and in more variety of situations. And now I wouldn't think twice if I had a really important meeting or something where I needed to impress somebody, I gotta find the best and most flamboyant, ridiculous pants out of my collection to wear that meeting. Very important. Because that's me showing up as me, right? Just feeling inspired, feeling creative, having fun with life. And it's just crazy. I know, they're just pants, right. But again, the Monday morning quarterback, as I look back on how this really empowered me to accept myself self acceptance, and to show up in the world. The ridiculous pants are just a tool, right? They're a crazy, awesome tool that I love to use to express myself. And what's more than that is that in expressing myself, I am accepting myself, I don't care anymore what people think, right? This is a huge experience that you can have to foster more self acceptance. And so when we see people in life who are really different in some way, it's good to recognize like, hey, they're just really self accepting, they've become really comfortable with accepting themselves, and showing up in a way that feels good to them. And when you can support somebody else in doing that in their own unique way, even if it's nothing that you would resonate with, then you offer yourself permission to do that same thing. Like I don't know what your equivalent to ridiculous pants is, but I'm sure there's something right. Something that just feels right, that feels good that you're maybe holding back on, not quite fully bringing out into your everyday day to day life because you're concerned about what other people might think. And when you kind of break through that. And you just let the freak flag fly as they say. And that is a huge, wonderful gateway to self acceptance. So I guess what we can say is like if you got some ridiculous pants, wear them or whatever your equivalent to the ridiculous pants might be. And when you see somebody else, kind of doing the same, just acknowledge that appreciate that. Be grateful that that's going on in the world and give your yourself also permission to do the same and to have fun with life. That's all for today. That's all I wanted to share today.
