It's 2024, time to give yourself permission
To do the things that you need & want to do.
Are you ignoring your own calls to move towards or away from something?
Learn to recognize resonance in everything and you'll always know which way to go.
It's not as complicated as it seems.
We all have a deep knowing of what is right for us but often we ignore that in exchange for what is accepted of us.
Or so we think.
When you start to get quiet with yourself, slowly you can remove the weight of other people's opinions or perceived opinions(which we make up in our minds) about you & your life.
And then something magical can happen, you can start living your truth, and what your energy knows is right for you.
Notice how you feel at your job, with your friends, in your hobbies, and see if you can pick up any clues as to if engaging with life in this way is good for you.
It appears as a physical sensation, we over intellectualize this all the time.
It's not that complicated, your body is telling you in your physical sensations, your energy is in a conversation with your brain. It's subtle and it takes a fair amount of self awareness to interpret these sensations but it can be done in an instant by remaining present and practicing acceptance and non-attachment.
We have to be able to notice these things.
Once we do, we can be transported on a path to joy through open awareness. We're not getting attached to what's happening, we are simply noticing and sensing and taking in that information for a later connection.
This is how I knew that I needed to try salsa dancing 💃, I would watch a live salsa band and notice how fully present and energetic being there and watching people dance made me feel. I knew that it was something that I needed to try, a part of life that wanted to be expressed through me.
Where we go wrong is that we don't allow ourselves to believe that we can do things without being perfect(or up to some alleged standard)to start. We just assume that we are too (insert anything here) to be able to learn and try something new. Commitment is good but we have to be able to try things without the fear that we'll never do it long enough to be the best.
Just do what is calling you, give yourself permission to express yourself in a new way, with abandon.
Learn to notice when things feel good for the right reason. What lights you up energetically? What makes time stand still when you do it?
For me, that is dancing & a ton of other things because I've accepted that once I start something I might be bad at it but if I keep going, who knows what could happen and I'm going to enjoy it either way.
We are here to enjoy this one short life that we have, if you want to learn the Tuba 😅, do it!
Expressing yourself in a new way is a gift back to life, as if we are saying, I'm not afraid of this life, I'm grateful to be here and I'm going to enjoy it.
We're so small in a big boi universe, is traffic really that bad? Do you know how rare this life is?
This life is a beautiful luxury, never forget that.
What something that you’ve wanted to try but haven’t let yourself yet?
I’m low-key thinking about trying karate or gymnastics 😅…to be continued..
