I am turning my back on uncertainty and taking some big steps back to get a running start and dive head first into everything that is possible. If you’ve been following along thus far, you may think I’ve already done this. // I did too //.
I’ve come to realize that I’ve been doing this with a safety net… sometimes referred to as uncertainty. I haven’t been entirely trusting of the process. I’ve trusted and opened up to the possibilities around me { and chased them }, however it has just struck me that I haven’t done the same for myself. I haven’t given myself enough credit for what I am capable of and how well I have done thus far in my life {and in turn I haven’t completely trusted myself }. In my practice and when I teach I encourage others to give gratitude to their bodies, breath and heart…. but I’ve been lightly skipping over parts of this myself. I haven’t given full credit to my reckless heart that gets me into the wonderful messes that I tend to find myself in. I am grateful for that heart….it keeps me on my toes, never letting me settle.
It can be hard to give yourself {credit, gratitude, forgiveness} { = love}. But you have nothing to loose by loving yourself at all times…even when when feel like you screwed up royally or that film in your head is replaying a situation over and over and you keep paying for something that doesn’t require your currency {thoughts}anymore. Why. Not. Love? It’s yours to give…you might as well practice on yourself first.
So if you need one…let that be your safety net. Let the fact that you love yourself more than anything be the reason you aren’t scared to be loved by someone else…and let your magical body be the reason you sign up for that marathon { because you love it, it’ll work for you }….and let yourself get lost in moments that take your breath away. There is a sweet space between your inhales and exhales that is worth being present for anyway. { try it }
