What if you were to stop trying to prove yourself?

Want to experience true freedom?

From The Wide Awakening Weekly

“What would guide your actions if you were no longer trying to prove your worth, or to adhere to the definitions of who you are supposed to be? Only you can determine that, but I do know that you would finally be truly free.”

Hi There –

I was in beautiful Ireland last week with a group of amazing leaders, and was struck by the thirst, the heart and the open minds of the women and men I met. My heart is so full. I realized in our conversations that the only true jail we live in is the one in our mind. It’s the jail of the shoulds, have to’s, and need to’s, based on thousands of years of human history where we have collected the story for what it is to be a man or what it is to be a woman, or even what it is to be human.

Beyond the confines of the man-made paradigms lies the truth of who we are. We are Free. We are Expansive. We are Creative. We are Children of Life, living as adult 3-year-olds in wonderment at the privilege it is to be alive.

So, if you decided right now to hold all definitions of who you are very loosely, and to stop judging yourself against another’s definition (the billions of people who went before you), how much extra time would that create?

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’?

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.

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.
