Are You in Your Own Way?

I've been thinking about how oftentimes the biggest roadblock or enemy on our self value, self love journey is ourselves and our perspective.

I wrote this back in February in the moment I had that realisation....

I've been reflecting on what the problem is this morning and I realized that the only problem is me constantly thinking that there is one.

But then as my feet hit the moss and my ass fits perfectly in this spot by this waterfall, supported by the rock behind me as if this seat was hand carved for me. I'm reminded I am held. I'm reminded to notice the beauty and the magic I am surrounded by. That right now I'm living something I once dreamed of. Something I have worked so hard to create and now my work is to embrace it, embody it, become it.

I take a deep breath and remind the tornado in my head that there is nothing wrong. I have everything I need right now. My perspective has just been skewed.

So I'm choosing to align with the belief that life is magical, that miracles are real, that beauty is everywhere if I choose to see it, that I am adventurous and curious. I invite my vision to widen and my edges to soften.

So, what's going right for me in this moment?
Well, just about everything.

I'm here alone by these falls in complete peace, I have a cup of warm cacao in my hand, and I just had this realization that I can flip the narrative I'm running in my head at any moment and that's a powerful moment to have.

I stand in the integrity that I practice what I preach to others, that a beautiful, meaningful life is just a perspective shift away.

It doesn't mean that I don't have challenging things going on, but how can I approach them from a place of curiosity and openness rather than a place of rigidity and frustration ?

How can I apply the tools and knowledge I do have for more ease and love within my being?

How can I support my wellbeing?

How can I drop into further devotion of the life I'm cultivating?

And most of all, when am I going to start choosing myself more?

Things in life can be can be lived like they are a heavy weight or they can be lived like they are part of the dance.
