Embolden Total Wellness

POV: it’s Jan 20, 2006 and you’re on your parents couch awaiting what will be the ultimate Disney Channel movie.

Little did we know Troy Bolton’s struggles were paralleling our own.

Our struggles of doing what we were always praised for and having a very difficult time learning what we actually wanted and liked.

When you grow up being celebrated for a skill or talent or achievement, you tend to associate your self worth and love with that particular talent or skill.

You keep achieving because the praise is what feels good for you.

The thing is, as you grow, you start to wonder if what you’re doing, how you’re acting, is what YOU want, or if it’s what you’ve been conditioned to want.

It’s possible to shed the fear that comes with losing the external validation you’ve been so used to.

Because the alternative is much scarier: living a life that’s not your own.

Choosing to live your one wild and precious life is your responsibility and yours alone.

And as millennial, we’re learning this together.

Share with someone who’s breaking free from the role society has placed on them and reclaiming their life.

Oh, and, did you have a high school musical 2 watch party, too? Let me know in the comments 🏀🎵🎤
