These 2 pictures bring me so much happiness, so Imma share them alongside this post.😋
.
I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately because I’m deconstructing a lot of my beliefs and old patterns, old ways of thinking and acting. THAT, my dear friends, is not an easy task.
When you’ve been a certain way and functioned a certain way & had very strong limiting beliefs, it feels scary to let go of them. It’s all I’ve ever known and the only way I’ve ever been. Moreover, what I NOW see as limiting beliefs/thoughts, used to be the ‘normal’ way of being for me.
.
So much of what I did or pursued came from a place of needing external validation. My obsessive drive for success came from a place of not feeling good enough and wanting to get approval. I’ve been questioning my goals and ambitions, trying to figure out what it is I wanna do. I’m dipping my toes into new career paths, transforming the way I approach friendships and relationships and moreover re-defining what real happiness is for me. (Also finding out what it is that really makes me happy)
.
I love creating content and sharing what I share, but I’m putting more importance now on figuring myself out and tending to my own needs and healing. Making x2 videos a week + podcast + writing material & doing stand up + working was a way for me to distract myself from a bigger problem. So... I’ll continue making and sharing content & videos, but I will do so on my own schedule. If I go off Instagram for a month & don’t post, so be it. If I decide to make 3 videos a week & then go off the grid for 2 months, so be it. I wanna do what feels right for me, and not have any self created pressure of ‘i need to make this and post that.’
.
I’d rather do all the healing and soul searching now, than distract myself for the next 10 years, only later to realize I was lost and unfulfilled all along.
Not sure if all this makes sense, but I needed to get it all out. I don’t know what content I’ll make or what career path I’ll choose next, where I’ll go or whom I’ll be, but all I know is that I’m doing lots of healing and figuring out, and I’m gonna take my time.❤️

Feeling mucho gratitude for this life, this body, my family, friends, this city, all the abundance that’s flowing in, all the creative ideas, wonderful people that continue to show up in my life, opportunities, all the pretty trees and plants and air and Nature.
.
So much gratitude in my heart.
Another big project is in the works, and I can’t contain my excitement. I don’t know how it’ll happen but how is not the point. I know my why, and the rest will work itself out. One baby step at a time.
.
I’ve also been spending less time on all these social platforms and more time on my real life, bringing ideas into fruition & this beautiful, beautiful life and all the magical humans in it.
.
Much love and I’m so excited to share my project with you on Saturday. It’s a bit out there, but my desire is so strong, I know it’ll be great. Go out there and make things happen.
Be that which you wish to attract.✨

No glam
No lights
No posing
No make-up
No joyful, inspirational caption

I’ve been in the Winter season of life
I’ve been taking everything very slow
I have no desire to workout like crazy
No desire to be crazy happy and jolly
No desire to create fun & happy content
because I don’t feel fun & happy
I’ve been a little more sad
a little more mellow
and quiet
I’ve been sitting in silence more
and thinking about life
deconstructing my beliefs and
everything that I thought made me ‘me’
.
Not sure what I’m trying to say with this
I guess...
It’s okay to be sad and quiet
To slow down
& be the opposite of what you think you’re supposed to be.
.
I’ve been think about the big questions
who am I
what do I want to do
what makes me happy
where do I want to be
who do I want to be
.
Just being honest here.
I don’t wanna post a fun picture & add a cool caption when I ain’t feeling it
Don’t wanna add to a certain fake-ness of social media
So yes
I am sad and quiet and a little weak
but like any season
this too shall pass.

Oh, the things I put this body through...
The names I called it, the things I deprived it of... Never making time to just stop and listen.
. . .
I used to workout 2hrs a day basically every day. Eat only clean foods. Want to be as small as possible.
At size 2, I wanted to be a 0. I wanted to be as thin & flat as possible.
Thankfully... I finally decided to stop and really get in tune with what my body was telling me.
. . .
My relationship with my body in the last year has evolved SO much.
If I feel weak, or tired, or something is hurting - I’ll give my body rest.
If I fall into the comparison game, I will tell my body that it’s beautiful, no matter how faulty I sometimes think of it.
I nourish it with delicious, healthy foods and move it because I want to take care of it.
I’ve been loving my body more and more. The past few days I’ve been looking in the mirror and admiring everything about it. All the things I used to hate, I now appreciate.
This makes me pretty emotional, because I never thought I’d be able to do it. All the things I used to want to get rid of, I now love & am thankful for. . . .
Appreciate your body. It’s the only one you got. You don’t have to change it in order to love it. This body is the only reason you’re able to experience life. To dance, walk, see, hug, listen, kiss, swim, climb, run.
Give it the love it deserves.❤️

Have you ever done something that you’re so proud of and feel all on top of the world about it until you see that someone else has done something similar that, in your mind, is better, and all of a sudden you feel sad?
•
I’m just gonna pretend that you yelled a big, loud ‘YESSS!🙋🏼‍♀️’ Me too, friend. ME. TOO.
⇨Oh, you think you made a cool video? BAM - look at someone who made one that is so much BETTER than yours.
⇨Lots 5lbs & feeling happy with your progress? Oh, LOOK! Someone lost 10!
⇨Going on a week long trip to Italy & you’re excited? OHHHH, let’s open Instagram & see a travel influencer who travels 24/7 & gets payed doing it!!
•
Stop comparing yourself. You’re you, they’re them. We’re all equally worthy. The funny thing is, someone is comparing themselves to you. (Ha, WHAT!?) Yup. Here you are, wishing you were like someone else, wishing you had their success or their life, and someone that you might not even know, is comparing themselves to YOU. Wishing they were like YOU.
🥳Let’s all celebrate each other, our own uniqueness, our very different lives and paths. Let’s focus on being the best damn versions of OURSELVES.🙆🏼‍♀️
🏃🏼‍♀️Avoid comparison like the plague.🏃🏼‍♀️

From my closet to your devices...
🎙GABIE HAS A PODCAST!🎙
Um, so... you know how I always tell you to take action on your ideas?
I’m taking action on another one of mine!🙋🏼‍♀️I am SO committed to acting on everything that excites me. Following my curiosities. Trying EVERYTHING that I’m even mildly interested in. Some things I will enjoy, some I won’t. That’s why I’m experimenting with everything! How else will I know what I enjoy?!
I’ve spent way too much time not taking action & letting ideas come and go.
🙆🏼‍♀️NO MORE, though.💁🏼‍♀️
The name of the podcast + Episode 1 will air on MONDAYYY! Wooh!
🧥I spent about 2 hours inside my closet recording it. Learning & messing up & re-doing & learning again. It started to get pretty warm in there but IT. WAS. FUN. (I also realized that my closet is actually big as I was pretty damn comfortable...)
🥰Okay. Mucho love. Make yourself happy, act on your ideas, share your joy and passion and sunshine with the world.☀️

“My definition of success is having $1 Billion dollars by the age of 32”
•
I saw this as I looked up at the tv in the gym this morning. A guy said this on an MTV reality show.
This made me a little sad but also made me want to write this post.
•
Okay, ready for some truth? For some full-on authenticity? Here I go.
💔I thought New York will make me happy. That when I finally move to NYC I will be forever happy. When I finish my acting school I’ll be so damn joyful. When I move into the perfect apartment I will feel fulfilled.
•
Guess what happened?
I got all these things and I WAS NOT HAPPY. I only told a few people about this, but I attached my happiness to this city BIG TIME. I thought nyc will be the cure for everything. I used to break down crying (even recently) because I was not happy & I felt confused. “But i thought NYC was the answer to all my problems?! This is the city that everyone raves about!!!”
•
‘When I lose weight, I’ll be happy’
‘When I make X amount of money I’ll be happy.’
I’m sorry to be a little harsh, but this is the biggest BS.
Happiness only, AND ONLY, comes from you. From the inside. Why do you think there are so many people who have all the success & fame they could want & they’re miserable?! Because they thought all these things were meant to make them happy, YET, here they are, having it all, and they’re miserable.
•
Our definition of success is f’ed up. I’ve been working on adjusting what success means for me. And you know what? It’s being filled with joy. Having memorable conversations with others. Seeing my family. Having the ability to explore the world. Meet new people. Brighten someone’s day.
WHY ISN’T THIS how we define success??? How the heck did we end up in a place where more people than EVER are millionaires & are having it all, yet everyone’s suicidal & more depressed than ever and miserable?
I’ll leave this for you to think about.
However, I’m re-defining what success means for me.
