Fear wants us to survive. . .but we want to THRIVE

Hello my beaaautiful friends,

There is deeply transformative energy brewing. 

With themes around: chapters ending, sudden changes, re-evaluation, addressing old wounds and of course all of this leading us into new beginnings. 

We are creatures of comfortttt babyyyy, i know i am…so when invitations for change begin to ping me…i've sometimes gotten stuck in the fear of discomfort rather than journeying into the unknown.

It reminds me of this time I went cliff diving in Thailand…for context I'm not a fan of heights. Everyone around me jumped in. some with no hesitation, others after getting a running start and saying “fuuuuck itttt”

but me? I spent at least 30 minutes TRYING to wrap my head around it. people trekked back up at least 3 times before I got myself to do it. 

When i finallllly landed in the water, i was filled with excitement. I was so proud of myself. 

And when i trekked my way back up… this time…I was EVEN MORE afraid . Despite now having evidence..that it was safe..and that it feels great once you hit the water.

When I looked back down from the cliff…i was frozen. 

I eventuallyyyyyy mustered up the courage after another half hour. 

But it left me with a valuable lesson: even when we have evidence that it's all going to work out…fear can be even more prevalent, still.     

fear is trying to keep us in survival…but we don't want to survive. we want to thrive.

Steep This:

When you're getting nudged in a new direction…

…a nudge to create the thing you keep talking about…

and even the nudge to finallly become the version of yourself you've been journaling about..

when you see those strings of synchronicities that it's time…how do you support yourself in   actualizing  the invitation?  

I have found that sometimes we ignore our body's knowing because…it may lead us to confront parts of ourselves, our business, our relationships, our finances, our beliefs systems that we simply don't want to confront…

we almost always have to let go of some part of ourself or identity.. maybe… friends, dynamics, ideologies, patterns, past clients, offers, habits, etc.

so most unconsciously stay within their comfort zone, despite being incredible disruptors and leaders in other areas of their life.

Even though I have spent a lifetime devoted to disrupting the conditioning i was born into…. my stubborn taurus self wants to be warm and cozy and… ultimately like all humans…wants to avoid the discomfort of change. 

So the medicine…

What's been your life's motif lately? I would ask 'what do you want to release?'..but with our current astrology i don't think it's a release you're choosing… as much as a release you're probably becoming aware   is  being  released   for   you…

so what's being released for you?

who are you becoming?

what part of yourself deserves to be looked at and held?

how can you support yourself in that becoming?

…and how can you find some joy or even pleasure in the discomfort of dying and being born again?
