““Serious transformations begin with two commitments: The courage to try new things and act in new ways, and the honesty needed to no longer hide from or lie to ourselves.” —Yung Pueblo
The question I get asked the most is HOW?
How are you able to travel for a full year, worry free?
How did you leave depression and addictions behind?
How are you so comfortable with who you are?
How do you stay true to yourself, especially when you don’t feel supported and the world seems to be against you?
How are you able to be single and not lonely?
How do you let go of what no longer serves you?
How is the question we all want to know…
Whether you want to leave a job that sucks the life out of you, turn your passion into a business, fall in love with yourself and your life, the how is in the now. Each step we take builds upon the next, one step at a time is the fastest way forward. I am a firm believer in we learn the way on the way, so if you don’t have clarity right now, take one small step and the path will reveal itself.
The now is the how. But with that said, sometimes we don’t have motivation to move forward, we lack clarity and we don’t know what to do right now. In this case it’s important to not force it. You may be wondering why I am not doing weekly videos. Mainly because I’ve been in transition. When we are in the space between where we were and where we want to be, we can feel a little stuck. Today I want to help you through your transitions.
In today’s brand new video, filmed in gorgeous Vienna, where I’ve been working and living for the past week, I share easy yet powerful ways you can get through transition, I also share more about why I haven’t been doing videos every week.
If you lack clarity, motivation or drive, today’s video will help.
I was able to overcome my stuckness, by asking more questions. So many of us avoid the questions. I want to invite you dear one, to befriend the questions. As you do be patient toward all that is unresolved within you. Try to love the questions themselves. I had so many questions and not knowing the answers made me feel deficient, uneasy even weak. As long as I was focusing on needing the answers, I stayed stuck in my own fear and guilt. Today, I don’t run away from these enquirers. I seek more questions, I collect them and dive into them. I let them dance around in my mind and drop softly into my heart. I probe deeper and I let the uncertainty be my compass forward.
May you let the space in between lack of understanding and clarity motivate and inspire you instead of consuming you with worry and fear.
The questions we ask ourselves are our greatest allies in our quest to happiness.
Ask them religiously, fearlessly and dive into them head first with reckless abandon. Those questions are your sanity, your life line, they will pull you forward. When we ask the soul searching questions, honesty reveals itself. Commit to honesty and being more real with yourself. Often ask yourself the questions you’re afraid of the answers, be willing to discover the truth to your souls deepest questions. This is the path of the Joy Seeker and it will bring you freedom.
The big question that was looming over my every move, the one I was afraid to reveal, “what kind of life do I really want to live?” I let my heart start to do the talking instead of listening to the fear that lived in my head.
In the spirit of going deep within your own true self. I am going to give you a list of powerful questions, rather than the answers.
These questions have helped pull me through transitions with more grace and ease. Get out your joy journal, and dive into them.
