Freedom from the Past
In sessions, you hear me talk about letting go of the past.
“Let go of the story, the labels, the judgments, the grief and sadness, the regrets and resentments, even your accomplishments.
You are not the same person you were 20 years ago and you are not the same person you were yesterday.
The past does not have to define how you FEEL or ACT in this moment.“
It’s easy to say these words. It’s more difficult to live truly independent of our past. Part of being human is learning from experiences. We make logical choices based on what has happened in our lives. How do we let go of the past?
I feel compelled to share a story about an experience that invited me to show up differently in the present moment.
Recently I awoke at 3am, contemplating my marriage.
Whenever we are close to someone, a friend, partner, or relative, our identities become interwoven with big emotions; Emotions about what we said or did; Emotions about how we were treated; Feelings of rejection and abandonment and loneliness. Even in a good marriage, there are times we feel separate and alone.
Releasing Assumptions to Manifest your Desires
I’ve been on a path to stop making assumptions. They unnecessarily weigh us down, hold us back, build obstacles in our way. Assumptions are easy to make, and have large consequences on our lives.
Our experiences and emotions guide our perspectives and subsequent decisions. It’s easy to presume that others have similar backgrounds to direct their choices.
How are we missing out because we make assumptions?
What doors have we closed without giving them a chance?
Today I share a vulnerable story, a series of assumptions, which has kept me from a dream for over 20 years. It's small and inconsequential, and yet breaking the perspective is significant for me. I offer you a glimpse of the conversations inside my head, which do not match the strong, confident persona I express on the outside.
Synchronicity stepped in and helped me to unravel those assumptions, and I was surprised where it took me! There is a gift in staying open, being clear with yourself, letting go of expectations, and asking ‘Why?’
