Claire Bays Reminds Us: You are Capable

I went live on Instagram the other day to interview my dear friend, Claire Bays. You may remember Claire from her guest blog post, “The Most Important Conversation You’ll Ever Have.” Claire and I went live talking about her experience with Crossfit, sobriety, mindfulness and more. 

YOU ARE CAPABLE

I wanted to share here on the blog Claire’s parting words of advice that she shared during the interview. They were so powerful, and I hope the give you some encouragement today:

A Growth Mindset: And last thing, leave us with some encouraging words.

Claire Bays: Some encouraging words? All of them! *laughs* If I could say anything to anybody, it is that you are capable. Period. YOU ARE CAPABLE. Whatever it is, if you think that you want to do something, and it is right and true to you and you are not hurting others in doing it, DO IT.

One of the conversations I did have with someone yesterday, who is such a consumer of content and wants to create more content and has such fear around doing it. And all I could think was, ‘just do.” Just do. If it felt right and true to you, do it. The people who want to be there will be there, and the people that don’t – that’s okay. Not everybody needs to be your people.

So maybe it’s not content. Maybe it’s getting yourself to the gym. Maybe it is drinking your water. This can be such simple stuff. This can be stopping drinking alcohol. Whatever it is – whatever that thing that’s gnawing at you – you want to be more patient with your children – whatever – you ARE capable.

If I could say anything to anyone: YOU ARE CAPABLE.
