All your life they have been telling you you are small.
Insufficient.
Not enough.
Or too much.
Weak and powerless.
Not worth it.
That you are limited, and that what you want is not possible.
That you will fail.
Life is hard.
Exhausting.
Painful.
You had to work hard to earn love
and worth.
Chasing luck.
That’s how life is, they said.
No way to change it.
But … NONE of all this is true!!!
Ten years ago, a lovely friend sent these to me: the collage and the small stone saying “MUT” = “COURAGE” you see on the photo above. Helping me to find the courage i needed to embark on this journey of leaving germany behind and travelling the world with my children. Not the first step in following my heart, out of this strange, externally directed life in mainstream society, but definitely one i was struggling with those days.
Is there anybody who is not triggered by the thought of having to wear a mask from today on? I was. Several days i fought … with my resistance, my fears, my anger. There’s a lot these masks are bringing up. (Besides the fact, that it’s physically more than uncomfortable to wear them – when i had to wear a mask in Thailand, i felt like i would suffocate after only half a minute, i simply could not breathe.)
Yet, beyond the question how to deal with this practically (wear a mask or not, rebel, find ways, compromise, express your resentments etc), i invite you to first have a closer look at your reactions and feelings about this.
Feeling fear every now and then is totally normal and okay. It’s about not getting stuck in this fear. Fear stops everything from flowing. Thereby, it will also weaken your health, your resilience, your immune system. Fear will paralyse your mind and leave you with limited (or no) choices on how to act. Right now, it even makes big parts of humans world wide willing to give up all their rights …
There is so much healing happening right now, inside of me & for the whole world, all of us. We are all in this together, connected, as we have always been. Now so many more begin to really feel this, on so many levels.
It’s been a while since my last post here; life went fast, so let’s start with a short update of where i am and what is happening in my life right now:
Do it. NOW. Stop smoking, drinking, eating that stuff you don’t want to have in your body anymore. Get out there & move your body. Leave your job. Or start this new one. Travel. Or settle, if this is what you want to do. End this relationship that does not speak to your heart anymore. Dare to be alone. (You will never be alone anyway.) Take the risk to open your heart. For friendship. For love. For those new beginnings,
DO you LIVE your life?
Do you live YOUR life?
Do you follow your heart? Doing, what YOU really want to do?
Do you show up, with your truth, each and every day, in everything you are doing?
Or … are you procrastinating? Day by day pushing along what you are here for? Maybe you are scared to do something wrong. Maybe you don’t know WHAT you are meant to do. Looking for your purpose in this life while missing your life?
Come back! Here! In this moment! There’s nothing more to do but following what your heart is telling you to do right NOW. Big or small things. In each and every moment.
