What do you want?

“When we have expectations of someone (or a circumstance) to make us more comfortable, it is often like asking a fish to climb a tree. They can do it, but it won’t be pretty and they won’t be happy. Maybe it will save you both a lot of energy to appreciate how well they swim instead of climb.”

So what circumstance or person are you expecting to be different than they are?

I can tell you that when I first met my sweetie, I sure as heck was not expecting to fall in love with him, because he didn’t match my list. I thank God every day I let go of my expectations!

I’m reminded of people who take our program, Flight School. When they start the program, they can see so much is possible with their relationships, businesses, love and their bodies. However, if you ask any of them, they will tell you that by letting go of all expectations, what shows up is beyond what they could ever imagine.

Do you want what you expect, or what’s beyond your wildest dreams? Just askin’…

With love,
Jennifer

Here’s the issue with that:

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains.

I was listening to a brilliant podcast a few days ago which my husband reminded me about. Although they didn’t talk about this specifically, it struck me how important it is to understand how our brains work. In understanding this, I’m able to follow my knowing and feel connected to clarity, instead of being manipulated by noise which can only happen if I’m in fear; it’s so easy to be in fear these days, don’t you think?

Fight or flight creates an interesting shift in the brain causing us to relate to those who disagree with our viewpoint as the “other”, and there are those who want to manipulate others in order to protect themselves.

The key to thriving is…

A key to thriving is remembering that doing this is actually important.

It’s ‘nothing’.

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.
