MOORE ALOHA

It’s easy to get caught up thinking that results equal success. It’s an idea that’s thrown at us in one form or another everyday through news articles, movies, even in conversations. Winning, making tons of money, getting that huge job promotion, obtaining the outcome = happiness, but does it really?

 

“I fell into a trap thinking winning = love. When I won, everyone around me was happy. I felt loved, worthy and for a moment, at peace. But the outside validation was only temporary. Eventually the attention faded and I was chasing the next win, the next band aid to make me feel content and whole. It was a never ending vicious cycle that led to burn out. I had to lose a lot to redefine what success and happiness looks like for me,” shares our founder, Carissa Moore.

 

Reflect on a time you achieved what you desired but didn’t feel satisfied or fulfilled. How was the outcome different than you expected it to be? Redefine what success looks like to you and take your power back. With August celebrating National Wellness Month, it is time to prioritize your self-care, reduce stress, and create healthier habits to feel like your best self. So within your answer to this prompt, please also consider what brings you joy and fills you with purpose? How do you feel when you are present and focused on the process instead of in a rush to get to the end goal?
