This is a time for family, fun, trying to stay warm, and obviously giving\u2014but if I\u2019m going to keep it all the way real (as I always do), the main person I\u2019ve been thinking about giving to is <em>myself<\/em>. <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e645c5\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Is that soo bad?? <\/mark><\/em>Please, please, please, Before you go putting me on trial for selfish behavior, let me just say this: I SWEAR I\u2019m not a villain! I\u2019m mostly nice and very rarely naughty. (I even checked twice\u2014Black Santa, if you\u2019re reading this, please confirm.) Here\u2019s the thing, grrrls: We have been on this radical self-care journey together for almost a year now. That\u2019s 12 whole months of learning, unlearning, and rediscovering what it means to show up for ourselves unapologetically. We\u2019ve talked about why prioritizing yourself and your pleasure is not just important but necessary. And guess what? With a new year just around the corner, I think it\u2019s time we <em>really<\/em> commit to this idea without feeling bad about it! Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m still here for the warm and fuzzy vibes, the gift exchanges, and the \u201cyou shouldn\u2019t have!\u201d moments. But I\u2019m also here to remind you that giving to yourself isn\u2019t selfish; it\u2019s smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Let\u2019s be real: prioritizing yourself can feel awkward\u2014like you\u2019re breaking some kind of unspoken rule about always putting others first. And, honestly, that\u2019s the problem. Society, mass media, the internet (whoever else you want to blame) has done an aaaamazing job of convincing us that self-care is selfish, especially during the holidays. Between the endless commercials about giving your all to everyone but yourself, the pressure to RSVP to every event, and the guilt trips from frenemies who think you owe them your time and energy, it\u2019s no wonder we feel like the villain when we say \u201cno\u201d or put ourselves first. But here\u2019s the truth, grrrls: you can\u2019t pour eggnog from an empty cup or #NiceGrrrlEnergy either! That&#8217;s why this season isn\u2019t just about giving to others, it\u2019s about learning balance. And that means giving yourself the time, energy, and love you deserve, too. So, if you\u2019ve ever hesitated to choose yourself because you didn\u2019t want to feel like the Grinch, let me remind you: you\u2019re not the villain of this story\u2014you\u2019re the main character. When they said joy to the world, that included you too grrrl! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExemlpampmdG9yenUzZ2Frc3Y1Mmw2cmd6bG4weG5qeHUxNTIyajkyNSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/l2YWyPJHKRgk0HrNe\/giphy.gif?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:859px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">no mean girls allowed \ud83d\ude07\ud83c\udf84\ud83d\udc95<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Someone Selfish?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Let\u2019s talk about this whole \u201cselfish\u201d narrative for a second. Somewhere along the way, prioritizing yourself has somehow become the ultimate betrayal\u2014as if you\u2019re suddenly rubbing your hands like Birdman and plotting to ruin everyone\u2019s day the second you say \u201cno.\u201d But let me remind you: setting boundaries or putting your needs first doesn\u2019t make you selfish; it makes you self-aware. The truth is, this whole idea of self-sacrifice being the \u201cnoble\u201d choice is just another way to keep people, especially grrrls, running on empty for everyone else\u2019s benefit. You\u2019re allowed to protect your peace without guilt. Saying \u201cno\u201d to things that drain you doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re evil! It means you\u2019re prioritizing your own peace and making more time for plotting world domination- I mean world peace. For example, a few weeks ago I could have easily spent my last three brain cells, my last drops of energy, and three billion dollars on Ubers, dresses, hair, make up, and a stunt double to go to a few holiday invites that I recieved, but instead I decided to play hooky and stay home with a cozy blanket and a cheesy Netflix rom-com. <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e645c5\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Selfish? More like SURVIVAL! <\/mark><\/em>That\u2019s not selfish; that\u2019s survival. It was revolutionary, like I promise you my life has never been the same! ou\u2019re allowed to choose what serves you and leave the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExbWNnbW12djM5c2tqdTg2eW5zZ3dnZWFnN3NsZm96ZWp1bHMxaWx1ZSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/xT8qBnzRIMESUXqEgw\/giphy.gif?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:715px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Netflix over frostbite anyday! \ud83e\udd76\ud83e\udd27\u2744\ufe0f<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whatever YOU Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Choosing yourself doesn\u2019t mean opting out of everything. It just means getting intentional about doing what matters to YOU<em>. <\/em>A few weeks ago, I started intermittent fasting, which is less about what you eat but more about when you eat it, although I have made a greater effort to eat cleaner too. Things have been going great but this is probably the worst time to start my new clean eating journey since I just celebrated a birthday, Christmas is tomorrow, and NYE is not too far behind but it&#8217;s important to ME that I make these changes as soon as possible to feel as best as I can. Obviously this has been a little awkward when people are side eyeing me about turning down birthday cake but I literally cannot delay living my life for myself any longer and I seriously think starting my radical self-care journey with you grrrls was the start of that realization. So, instead of bending over backward to meet unrealistic expectations, why not prioritize your own self care? Make yourself a \u201choliday survival plan\u201d with self-care built in. For example, I knew the war between my new diet and holiday cookies and cakes would be hard. <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e645c5\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Ho Ho NO!<\/mark><\/em>  I&#8217;m just a grrrl and I&#8217;m clearly out numbered by a few baker&#8217;s dozens. Which is why I went on a solo mission to the store for some fresh fruits and veggies. Yes, I have had a sweet treat here and there but I&#8217;ve also had fresh kale, carrots, grapes, grilled chicken, and strawberries which is completely unprecedented and an absolute win for me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExd2t3ZGp5cDBjNGlsaTh6ODNydG1vYW13cnJsZWMxb2Fob2ExN2FhbyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/VxXDtRX7MEFjy58Xia\/giphy.gif?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:595px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">you are what you eatl!! \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Gift of Giving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you are still having a hard time rationalizing centering your own wants and needs during a season of life I completely understand. Maybe you have a lot of people that depend on you, maybe all that self-awareness sounds overwhelming, or maybe you still believe that if you make other people mad that you&#8217;ll end up with a lump of coal in your stockings. <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e645c5\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Panty-hoes!<\/mark><\/em> Prioritizing yourself isn\u2019t just good for you; it\u2019s actually a win for everyone around you. Think about it: when you\u2019re running on empty, it\u2019s harder to be present, patient, or even remotely pleasant. But when you take the time to recharge and take care of yourself, you show up as your best self! On my birthday everybody spoke soo highly of me, which was soo beautiful and heartfelt. One of the things that they said that took me by surprise was that watching me learn how to be more open and authentically myself has given them the courage and motivation to do the same&#8230; umm literally best gift ever? All I&#8217;ve ever wanted to do with Grrrl, Get Real is to help people. Over the past year sometimes it gets tough putting myself out there and not being about to see a tangible difference like ending world hunger, or creating world peace. The acknowledgement that I recieved on my birthday felt like the last little kick in the booty to continue to trust my intuition and express myself! Giving yourself the gift of giving is more than a fun tongue twister, it&#8217;s a form of radical self-care. When you prioritize yourself, you also set an example for those around you. Whether it\u2019s your friends, family, or grrrlfrenns, they\u2019ll see you choosing your peace and feel empowered to do the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZXVmNG83NnV0Y2JmbXgxemcyaGhnZXRud2kxYXVub2p2NWxkOHB1MSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/gqJ9CZKITjSc3XpZTI\/giphy.gif?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:821px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">manifesting my noble peae prize \ud83c\udfc6\u2b50\ufe0f\ud83d\udc95<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As we wrap up this wild, wonderful year and dive headfirst into the chaos of the holidays, let\u2019s make a promise to ourselves: no more guilt for putting our needs first. It\u2019s not selfish\u2014it\u2019s survival, it\u2019s self-awareness, and most importantly, it\u2019s the foundation of your radical self-care journey. If there\u2019s one thing I hope you take away from this radical self-care journey, it\u2019s that you are <em>worthy<\/em> of your own time, energy, and love. Prioritizing yourself isn\u2019t just about survival\u2014it\u2019s about creating space for the best version of you to thrive. I know it can feel daunting, especially during a season that pressures us to give, give, give without a second thought. But you\u2019ve already proven to yourself that you\u2019re capable of showing up for your needs. You\u2019ve set boundaries, practiced self-awareness, and learned to say \u201cno\u201d when something didn\u2019t serve you. Now it\u2019s time to double down! You\u2019ve worked so hard this past year to show up for yourself and create a life that feels good to live. Why stop now? As we head into the new year, let this holiday season be a time for <em>you<\/em> to give yourself the same energy you\u2019ve been giving everyone else. Whether it\u2019s taking a quiet moment to sip your favorite drink while everyone else is rushing around, checking a few things off of you&#8217;re holiday wishlist, or taking a day off that\u2019s just for you. Now go and be great, you lil grrrly pop!
