Ready to set everyone free, including yourself?

From the Wide Awakening Weekly

It’s not about feeling more comfortable….

“Your attempting to feel more comfortable, by coaching or redirecting the ones you love, is about your ego’s safety. Your setting your family and friends free to figure out ‘their way’ is about love.” ~ Jennifer Hough (Tweetable!)

Hi there:

Recently, it came to my attention that maybe (just maybe) I was ‘carrying’ my sweetie pie sometimes. How? Well, I was concerning myself with an aspect of his life that I happen to know a lot about. Then I remembered that there is not a person alive who does not have the same capacity to connect to infinite wisdom as I do … duh!

‘Carrying’ is when you worry about another’s life. Often the underlying message they receive from you is that you’re afraid they don’t have the cosmic resources to get the answers themselves.

‘Caring’ is when you love them without conditions and without needing to change them or their circumstances. In the end, still do or say what your heart tells you, but be very aware of whether or not it’s about your own comfort.

It can be very hard for others to hear their own internal guidance through the drone of your thoughts about their lives.

Live YOUR own life: it’s more productive and way more funner 😉

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

Here’s the issue with that:

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

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.
