Protecting yourself is so overrated (Part 3 of 3)

Part 3 of 3, about Being the Change from The Wide Awakening Weekly

“The ego invented the idea that protecting ourselves would help us thrive, however it only leads to (at best) survival. Thriving requires that you let yourself be seen.”
~ Jennifer Hough (Tweetable)
Hi there,

Recently, I felt myself contracting a little because I was feeling all the changes happening in my life and all the contrast in the world. Fortunately, I remembered quickly.

We are constantly being asked to let go of our world the way we have known it. The unknown can be scary, right? When we are afraid, we can judge, manipulate or withdraw, in order to protect ourselves from hurt. You know the cycle.

Another option is to radiate so much compassion that those around you (and yourself) feel the doorway to a new world opening, one where we are willing to see others and be seen — with kindness and compassion.

We can contract our Awakening through fear, or we can ever so tenderly, gingerly (or ridiculously excitedly) be ourselves and activate the world we are headed for with curious, adventurous, creative YES-ness! No judgment, either way.

But … ya know where I’m going with this, right?

I’ve seen you, and you’re gorgeous … have you looked lately?
Love,

Jennifer xoxoxo

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

Apr 18, 2024

Something happened this week that was such a great reminder to remain humble, and know that we are all human. It also reminded me that we are all human and any beliefs that anyone is better than you or I, are simply old beliefs.

This week I was on a beautiful cheer-fest for Money and You with my dear friend Doria Cordova with well-known thought leaders from all over the world. It was a privilege to be included.

The leaders that have taken Money and You are all incredibly humble and so smart…..and you probably know their names; Jack Canfield, Ken Honda just to name a few.

And, there was a leader who was there that behaved a little differently than the others. He also did not exude the humility of the rest. And I realized that he had stuck beliefs and was being righteous, and that I had beliefs about how he should be.

Why is the paradigm for prosperity shifting?

Why is the paradigm for prosperity shifting?

Apr 8, 2024

The paradigm for prosperity is shifting and the laws of physics give me great hope, here’s why!

Most of us aren’t present to the shifts happening around us because we’re so distracted by the noise.

Globally, wars, political differences, media streaming, fear-based rhetoric, and divisive communications create polarity. Simultaneously, that polarity and struggle is birthing ideas being acted upon by the younger generation as it sits in the ‘dark matter’ of consciousness, waiting in the sub-atomic spaces to be birthed!

Metaphysically speaking, for every problem there is already an existing solution as it’s part of how the Universe stays in balance.

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Well, you might be surprised to hear me say absolutely not.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about deliberately forcing ourselves to do things that feel awful.

It’s just that I hear so many people saying… “only do it if it feels good”.

Here’s the issue with that:
