Over the last few weeks I’ve been doing some really deep work with my 1:1 clients and it’s no wonder, because it seems we are entering into a time where many people are feeling massive discomfort around where they are currently in their lives.
Some describe it has a sort of dark night of the soul, while others feel like they are stuck in a vicious cycle of two steps forward and what feels like ten steps back. However it shows up, one thing is for sure…the time for transformation is here. (Actually it’s always here, but more and more people are open to the shift right now.)
In one of my most recent sessions, we uncovered a theme of abandoning desires, dreams and the hope for something better because the feeling of wanting them while also believing she couldn’t ever have them was just too painful.
Imagine that for a second. Think about what it must feel like to want something so much and also carry the belief that you will never…ever get there.
I see this more often than you might think. I am constantly hearing women say how hard it is for them to believe in something that they just don’t think they will ever have. How can they keep wanting something that seems impossible? How can they keep hope alive when the pain of not having it feels so bad?
My question is often…what’s the alternative?
From what I can see desiring something & not believing you can have it might cause you to completely shut down all creativity and hope for the future which is painful in and of itself. But, it can also often lead to a lifetime of settling, discontent and a constant questioning of what if???
To me, that is far more painful because that’s not the life we came here to live.
My belief is that the ONLY thing that we can change (and ultimately the only thing that matters) is what we believe and what we DECIDE we get to have.
You are not here to shut down.
You are here to open up to the expansion and possibility of the world around you.
You are here to realize just how powerful you truly are and to live that truth and the first step is believing you can have it.
The challenge often comes when the journey gets uncomfortable or particularly intense. That is when many people question what is possible for them. They wonder if somehow they got it all wrong and in an effort to protect themselves from more disappointment, they retreat. They shut down. They remove themselves from all hope, all belief and they try to talk themselves out of their desires and into being ok with settling.
And if this sounds familiar and you are constantly struggling with “how” to make the changes above, here’s what I need you to know…
You are the sure thing.
You are the way, the how, the path.
Being you and showing up as the powerful, creative being you are…is the answer. It’s YOU that you need to trust.
And despite what you may have been told, no one is “giving” you any power you didn’t already have. You were born with it.
Sometimes it needs activating or elevating but YOU are the key to the answers you’ve been looking for and when you decide to stay in the room, lean into the discomfort and follow the nudge to do the work…things change.
–>You can be supported and guided.
–>You can ask for help when it is needed.
–>You can have someone hold space for you as you find your way forward.
But when it comes down to it, it is you who has to say yes. You have to decide. You have to choose to lean in, especially when things feel rocky & do the work.
And I promise when you do, you will be astounded, surprised and delighted by the magic that unfolds.
So, consider this your call to action to stay in the room and to lean into the discomfort and if you feel called, reach out for support because we are in a time of massive transformation & things are shifting quickly.
P.S. I hope you know that every ounce of inspiration in the words I share come from the heart and often from the very things I need to hear. February was a rough month for me in a lot of ways, but March feels almost like a clean slate & fresh start. My hope is that it feels the same for you.
As always, if there is anything I can do to support you, feel free to book a free chat and let’s see what kind of magic is waiting for you…
