Life's Alive Ups and Downs
You are built for your life.
Your life. Not the life you think you should have or the life society thinks you should have. Your life.
I'm not sure if you can live what I am calling "your life" if you are up in your head and ruled by your thoughts. However, it seems even then, we can't not live our lives. At least some of it. But this is a shadow of life. A hint of what's actually available. We content ourselves with scraps and crumbs without knowing there's a whole massive Vegas-style buffet available.
What I do know is that the fullness of your life unleashes and reveals itself when you are more of the time focused in the present moment. Now.
Life takes on a depth and sweetness not available anywhere else. Emotions are no longer something to be avoided but something to be lived, experienced, and cherished. Your very human emotions and responses are there FOR you. Not against you, not because you failed, and certainly not to be fixed or overcome. In no way dampened.
Feel. Feel as if your very life depends on it. In a way it does.
That could sound really dramatic. But it's a night-and-day, black-and-white difference. Your fully expressed life versus a wet rag of a life.
If this sounds scary, it kind of is. To say "it's worth the scare" is a huge understatement. It's the most worth-it thing out there.
If this sounds hard, it's actually not. The hard part is deciding you want it. Once you've got that far, the rest takes care of itself. It's no longer up to you.
For the next week, pay attention, and anytime you are wanting to manage yourself or trying to fix something, pause and let it flow and watch.
Your emotions are not problems to be solved.
In letting yourself be more of the time, you'll find you have more energy, more inspiration, and more, well, life.
Have fun exploring!
With Love,
