The Unknown is my friend…


“Your love affair with the unknown
will transcend the need for courage.

THE UNKNOWN IS MY FRIEND!

I’m so excited for multitudes of reasons.

Sweet Adam M Lamb has done an incredible job of creating our new interview and podcast studio downstairs. The coolest part of it was that I got to put the finishing touches on the special room by hanging two beautiful pictures by our friend, Lisa Winston.

I am also vigilant for blessings. I truly feel blessed. Of course, crappy things absolutely happen to me as well… I just call them suboptimal things. I find it helps me to use less “judgy” language. It keeps me neutral.

I mean, who am I to judge what happens to me? Likely the “suboptimal” events are simply catalyzing me to a new adventure. Words like “sub-optimal” keep me in curiousity instead of the hamster brain wheel.

Sometimes those things also turn out to be blessings in the end. I had no idea what it would look like when I smelled paint and heard all the activity downstairs for the month or two Adam was down there creating. I’m not sure that he even knew what the end result would be.

And did I get nervous? Yep. Was I thinking about moving out while it was happening? LOL; in my head, yep. Did I keep breathing and getting myself back to my presence and knowing how much fun he was having? Yep.

I mean, in life there are so many unknowns and we try to control them. If you knew how powerful you are, and knew your Super Powers, wouldn’t the unknown be half the fun?

I understand that the unknown is not fun for many people, but I suggest that it is simply because we have prioritized “feeling in control” over staying curious on the adventure!

I’m going to reiterate:

Your love affair with the unknown will transcend the need for courage.

Think about it. And keep practicing your Super Powers.

With love,
Jennifer

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.
