Ever feel frustrated you’re not “there” yet?

“Life changes when you make the goal heartfelt enjoyment, versus reaching expectations.”
~ Jennifer Hough

One of the places I see expectations arise is in “Flight School,”™ our year long program. What happens within that program is so much more expansive than what our eyes can see in 3D. The impact of insights and paradigm shifts discovered during the course of the program, plays out in all areas of the participants’ lives. Never do I see how much expectations can sabotage a perfectly amazing experience more than in this program.

This is a life changer. A goal should never be made with a built-in mechanism called, “if you don’t meet it, you should be upset.” Why do we set that goal in the first place? Because we think life will be better for achieving it. Now, if you just enjoy your life, using the goal as an excuse to go on an adventure, you will already have achieved the end result… and the unfolding journey becomes the cherry on top.

It’s a big one.

Love,

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.
