What Challenges Are You Dancing With…
A wave challenges the beach with every tide that roles in. It challenges the beach-dwellers and the land-lubbers. The waves call out, “Catch me if you can…” or ask, “Can you withstand the force of my flow, time after time, day after day?” The beach is challenged every single day, every hour, every minute of every day and yet… Look how beautiful the beach is!
What challenges are you dancing with that are keeping you from putting YOU FIRST in your life?
Here’s a helpful hint…
Ditch everything (and everyone) in your life that brings you down!
Seriously, how much time are you spending on tasks (and people) that don’t feed your soul or bring you happiness? We all have that one friend (major drama divas) that stresses us out or maybe it’s that one client in your business who pushes all the wrong buttons. When you add drama and chaos to your already full load (aka: the chores you dread, the unshared obligations you feel, or commitments made under pressure, you have just created a tidal wave of unhappiness and frustration.
Think about making a change, shore up those retaining walls or put on your wetsuit and grab your board. One way or the other, prepare for the wave so you can ride it out and not get washed away.
I wrote y’all last week about the resistance I had been walking with for the last couple of weeks. Thank you so much for all your wonderful replies and the stories you shared about your own dance with Resistance. Giving you guys permission to hold me accountable for the editing I wanted to finish, was the best gift I could have given myself. The support and encouragement I received was overwhelming and it created that energetic push I needed to get that project across the finish line. Not only did I finish the re-arranging edit for Get Off the Shelf, but with that momentum, I was able to finish the kindle edit for You First as well. I’m back on a writing roll and THANK YOU all for being a part of that with me.
Here’s a little visual morsel below for you to chew on this week…
When life turns dark, look for the light. When people or things don’t make sense, search out wisdom, and when you feel threatened, seek safety. Take your stand on solid ground and let the waves of darkness, nonsense or fear flow around you. As the wave recedes, pay attention to the reflection in the wet sand, a reflection of the beauty, love and light that YOU are, always and remember to put You First as you enjoy the weekend.
