Allowing yourself to feel, sounds so simple, doesn’t it?

And yet, this seems to be what my clients struggle with the most.

You see, we’re conditioned to not feel our feelings.

Or, to deny how we want to feel, opting instead for taking what’s handed to us.

And that is the entire opposite of allowing yourself to feel, or co-creating a life in which we feel the feelings we want to feel.

For the past couple of years, I’ve actually allowed myself to take the focus off of massive to-do lists, and more focus on creating the kind of life that not only allows me to feel my feelings, knowing it’s safe to do so, because I make it safe for myself to do so, but also, simultaneously, creating a life that supports me feeling the way I actually want to feel.

 

So I thought it would be fun to share with you what came up for me when I took myself through the process and got down and dirty into the feeling of having massive FUN with it at the end and took the things I wanted to feel and turning them into something that pretty much took on a life of their own, while simultaneously becoming such an integral part of my life. (Like one of the feelings actually turning into a program that I went from idea to launch on in less than a day.)

 

So after I’d completed the process, I asked myself the following questions and the answers to the questions, the play of it all really if you will, and what follows is what flowed from there.

Since writing the above, “Beautiful” and “Mystic” have been added, but I truly feel like you get the gist here yeah?

Once these words were chosen, selected, taken to heart in November, nothing that wasn’t in some ways these words, these feelings, contributing to those feelings in some way, has been taken on.

 

You now have a glimpse, laid bare before your eyes, of what my 2019 is shaping up to be.

And we’re only on Day 2.

 

I hope you’ll reach out and let me know what this brings forth for you love! I can’t wait to see!
