I woke up feeling super scattered this morning, like there are a million things I need to get done, I’m already behind, I’ll never get there, I’m a huge failure & disappointment. I spent the first part of the AM anxiously rushing from activity to activity caught up in this fear story.
But then I paused.
I recognized the dialogue playing in my head, & I sat with it. Instead of feeling like this pattern of thought is something else I need to cure for myself, I lovingly investigated it & simply allowed it to be.
In this “be better, do it first, get it right, have more” culture it’s so easy to fall into this trap. But the truth is there is no finish line. We have already arrived. In this moment all is well, always ok & manageable.
Living life to the fullest may have been sold to us as some pie in the sky, perfect body, powerful job, fancy vacations & constant adventures ideal, but that’s bullshit. When we are present to what is, we ARE living our lives to the fullest, regardless of what that looks or feels like.
Feel the pain, fear, anxiety, doubt, or whatever is there. Let your life look scattered & messy & imperfect.
But say yes anyway- yes to the moment as it is & as it’s not. Right here, right now all is well, you have arrived, & you are living your fullest life.
