You don't have to Do anything...
We're still talking stories around here and I think this is one you'll recognize.
Do you hold the belief that you can't have what you desire? That you have to suffer, struggle for (or earn) the life you want?
That there's something you still have to do before you can relax and just be?
Earn more. Be seen more. Shrink more. [Insert your personal form of validation here].
If you do, I hear you. Been there and bought the t-shirt.
I offer you tons of compassion and grace on this Monday morning when the urge to hustle and get into the doing can be strong.
We all get caught up in it.
The story that we have to keep slogging to get to where we want to be.
But like so many other stories, this one isn't true.
There isn't anything more we need to do in order to claim our desires. There isn't anything more we need to do in order to start living the life we want to live.
Now, not everyone has the luxury of throwing all caution to the wind to chase their dreams - and you don't have to.
You don't have to quit your job, change your lifestyle, or abandon loved ones in order to bring more of what you desire into your life.
Start with the feeling of what you desire, and cultivate those feelings into your current daily life.
>>Desire more freedom? What does freedom look like and feel like to you? An unblocked space of time on your calendar? An activity that feels like a full-body yes?
>>Desire more connection? Schedule a coffee date , invite a neighbor over for a fire and chat, engage with your grocery store clerk and offer a smile when you can.
If you've been waiting for someone to come along and say, "yes, yes you can do this/want that/be her", here's your inner voice letting you know that there's nothing else you have to do.
If you've been waiting for a permission slip, here it is.
Download, print or fill in your commitment to yourself to bring in even a small piece of the good life - whatever that means to you.
Then post it somewhere you'll be reminded that you deserve to feel exactly how you want to feelright now - not next week, next year, or in another lifetime.
Until next time,
