When did you have big dreams for doing things in your life? Do you still have them? I remember a time when I dreamed of doing things, of being my future self. It was as though I would just wake up as the grown up version of myself, instead of evolving into this person one layer at a time. And while it can be a strange experience to realize that this is it, there is a beauty to the evolution. Every day is the experience we choose to create, if we take on the power of that creation. I find it easy to stumble into the churning wheel of a schedule, especially as a mom. The routine of feeding people and cleaning and getting to and from and just being physically present at the places I need to be. And then the day is over and on to the next to do it again. And again. And again. There are ups and downs and experiences in all of those days, but I meet so many people who just have their focus on doing the next thing.
But what if there is another way to experience the day?
We have to show up for things we commit too. We do the things we deem necessary for the people we love. Where are your feet? And is your head in the same place?
Is your heart?
We have to take a step back each day and observe this. Go inside yourself for the answer. Get quiet so you can hear the whisper. What do I want? Who do I want to be? What is my BEST self? Am I delivering that to me, to my family, to my colleagues, to my friends?
The answer always changes, but is the most important check in anyone can have.
Turn your love inward for a moment and feel it.
Then choose selectively what you want to show up for, who you want to show up for.
Then without guarded intention, show up as your biggest self.
Self love has to create self care. Make space for that. Repeat.
Self care creates an abundant form of compassion and energy. Then every other person you care about gets a better version of you. Connection.
And then the days don't spill into each other the same way. Choices open up.
What's possible?
