The cure for carrying other people… xoxo Jennifer

 From the Wide Awakening Weekly- The Cure for Carrying…

“You attempting to feel more comfortable by asking

family or friends to do things ‘your way,’ is about you.

You 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, Adam. How? Well, I was concerning myself with an aspect of his life that I happen to know a lot about.

Then I remembered, there is not a person alive who does not have the same capacity to connect to infinite wisdom as I do… and at least as many guides and angels.

Carrying is when we worry about another’s life. Often the underlying message that the other feels is that you’re afraid they don’t have the resources to get the answers themselves.

Caring is when you love them without conditions or needing to change them.

In the end, still do what your heart calls you to do, but be very aware of whether it’s about you. It’s hard for others to hear their internal guidance through the drone of your thoughts about their life.

Live YOUR own life! It’s more productive and way more funner.

With Love,

Jennifer xoxoxo

P. S. Don’tcha have enough on your plate?

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.
