Sometimes change feels scary to go through…

“Distinguishing between the true ME and the identities or aspects
of my personality that are trying to protect me
gives me some solace.

Jennifer Hough


What part of us is scared of change? It’s the part that has to die for the expanded version to become the new YOU, able to sustain the dream you’re dreaming.

The true infinite soul of us does not die, so YOU are not afraid to die. It’s the part of you that feels comfy, familiar and predictable that’s afraid. Personally, distinguishing between the true ME and the identities or aspects of my personality trying to protect me gives me some solace, lessening my need for courage.

On the other hand, what is this internal need to follow my heart?
To make dreams/imaginings/potential creations come to reality?
Do you feel that? Am I alone here? I don’t think so.

In times of great change, when there is so much polarity and fascinating differences of opinion, people are catalyzed to create anew, to build bridges, to break glass ceilings and come up with ideas to bring flow and harmony. So, we’re constantly in a state of becoming. You might think: “Well, why can’t we just be satisfied with what is”?

Sure, it’s a sane way to be and, indeed, brings about the most fluid path for visionaries. The equation goes like this: “Be thrilled with what exists, yet truly in anticipation of what inevitably is to come.” It’s the perfect state for fluid, expanding lives but, eventually, the need to create sneaks up on us.

I choose to be curious about the unknown. Sometimes it’s hard to remain curious on subjects I’ve invested a great deal in, like my career or my marriage, without some drama when fear of change really messes with these major parts of my life. So, it’s back to being ‘curious on the adventure’. Being calmly curious and not kicking and screaming when life changes are presenting, is the way to be.

It’s especially challenging as we move through the evolutions in who we are, not knowing where they’re leading or who we’re becoming!

Falling in love with the adventure of life will transcend the need for courage. The entire Universe is evolving and spiraling forever towards more flow and creativity and we are made of those atoms. It’s inevitable. Resistance to change is truly futile!

As for me, I’m continuing to create systems and tools to embody my evolutions. I’m going to carry on assisting others in finding their ability to flow because the world needs pioneers of change. People who change with the changes, are the pioneers of a new tomorrow. If you’re still with me, reading, I’m thinking that’s you!

I love you, my fellow Unicorns.

With love,
Jennifer

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:

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.
