The Yo-Yo Affect & Remembering Who You Are
The up-down, up-down, expand-contract, expand-contract rhythms of life can make us feel confused, self-doubtful and elated simultaneously, which causes us to really wonder WTF is going on!
When you're on a precipice of significant growth and change, it's common to experience this chaotic back-and-forth, push-and-pull energy.
One of the simplest ways to determine whether you're in flow with life or fighting against and resisting it is to ask yourself:
1. Is life happening to me? If so, this would indicate that you're operating from fear.
2. Is life happening for me? If so, you'll be meeting life with bravery and may even feel some enthusiasm!
3. Is life happening through me? If yes, you'll be excited and about to exponentially grow!
How you meet life is up to you-you can stay in fear and feel as though you're in a constant state of contraction and fear about the unknown, operating from a victim consciousness. However, life will continue to operate whether you like it or not.
If you're stuck in your life, feeling uninspired and uncertain about what's coming, yet know you're ready for a change, you're also in a "season" of your life. Can you accept and relax into where you are until you feel the pull of change?
After 25 years of guiding, educating, and mentoring individuals in personal growth and transformation, the simple wisdom I offer is this ...
Remember that you are Energy.
Where your attention goes, your energy flows.
You are the source of your own states of flow or congestion, ease or effort.
Get good at your energetics so you can dance better with the currents of life and the fluctuations of the humans around you. Learn to know when to steady yourself in a sacred pause, when to take action, and when to regenerate and build resources.
When you can trust your own energy, you will better trust in life and become a magnet for beautiful things to come into your life with minimum effort. Truth!
