Truth or Dare? It's a game we all played when we were younger. Maybe we played more as tweens or teens. While it’s just a game and can bring mischief, there is something to the energy that comes behind the “dare”. Saying “truth” is a safety net, but takes courage to admit something about yourself you may not have shared otherwise. Saying “dare” left you open to a wide array of possibilities and your fate in someone else’s hands. For some reason, picking dare gave us courage and energy to do something that was sometimes out of our comfort zone. So which did you pick?

Truth: Being a mom is hard. Finding yourself, your purpose, your energy, your joy, it feels impossible at moments. Then the guilt kicks in. What you feel you are supposed to think, behave, act, or feel a certain way. There’s no one size fits all mom. We are the perfect mom for our child(ren). Be honest with yourself. Be honest with how you feel. Talk to someone you trust. Know that this beautiful village is a judgement free zone. If you need to get something off your chest, admit something you haven’t said before, state your truth - you’re in good company.

Dare: Try something new! Do something slightly outside of your comfort zone that is all for you. Go on a date of some kind by yourself. Try a new cuisine. Go for an early morning walk. I dare you to try a FIT4MOM class you haven’t done before. Maybe that’s an early morning Boost class or an Ignite / 360 mash up. If you’re looking for a change and further commitment to yourself, I double dog dare you to watch the calendars and commit yourself to a Body Well session, Summer HIIT session or Run Club. Results don’t lie. Most importantly, I dare you to truly reflect on yourself, the truths you feel, and take a step out of your comfort zone to try something new. It’ll bring you that rejuvenated childhood energy. You deserve it mama!
