Readers asked to post more REGULARly, so I will post ONCE a month!
Please FORWARD to your friends for a monthly dose of soulful inspirations!
Hey Trailblazers of Genuine Living,
Get ready for a game-changing adventure! Inspired by the potent force of our stories and the raw energy of our emotions, we’re diving headfirst into a transformative experiment this month….
The Challenge: Speak Your Truth!
In a world often veiled by masks, I challenge you: speak your feelings and emotions loud and clear. Note: it’s not about the stories you have about what is, it’s just about the plain energy of feelings. It takes practice to switch from thinking about what you feel to plain feeling, we tend to have thoughts about what we feel, assumptions,
expectations, memories….. We tend to run away “bottle” feelings, Start by checking in with yourself—three times a day, ask, “What am I really feeling right now?” It’s time to discern between fleeting feelings and the deeper currents of our emotions, rooted in our pasts. If you are new to this type of “checking in with yourself”, shoot me an email! It’s not what you think, it’s not about what you expect, or the story you have about it, it’s about what you feel and trusting that what you feel is what you feel – totally OK!
Own Your Actions: Clear the Path for Growth!
September was our decluttering month. Now, let’s shift gears. Own your actions, including the thoughts, and words you sow daily. Break free from those worn-out patterns. Halt the cycle of repetitive thoughts. Dive into the unknown. Feel every emotion, no matter how daunting, and accept it wholeheartedly. Yes, you gotta be brave. Yes, it’s safe to feel…
Radical Honesty: Your Ticket to Authentic Connections!
Being radically honest isn’t about blame or fault; it’s about being completely clear. It breaks down the walls that keep us from truly connecting. How often have we hidden our true feelings behind a smile? It’s time to change that. Honor your emotions! Have the courage to express your deepest fears, joys, and everything in between. In being authentic, we find genuine closeness. Yes, it takes bravery. Yes, it can be scary to feel and share… Courage doesn’t mean having no fears; it means facing fears in a responsible way. It’s not impressive to act like you have no emotions or to run from your true feelings. There’s power in this small difference: stay human, feel what you feel, and learn to express yourself respectfully—honoring your truth and taking responsibility for your emotions. It’s also about understanding, compassion, and empathy, not blame.
The Power and Energy of our Drive
Emotions are super powerful motivators that fuel our drive. Our actions and motivations can also be influenced by other factors like beliefs, values, goals, external influences, and personal experiences. Emotions are a huge part of this complex interplay, that shape our drive and energy. Our inner motivations are often a combination of emotional responses, cognitive processes, and external stimuli. That’s why it is so important to accept and appreciate and use this energy consciously instead of acting like a victim to your own feelings….
Making friend with all Feelings
Fear becomes a beacon of alertness, heightening our presence and sharpening our discernment. Very valuable asset.
Anger transforms into a source of power, fueling the courage to set boundaries and demand respect. Even it it hasn’t been “safe” in childhood to express anger, today it is – as long as you do it consciously and respectfully.
Joy becomes a celebration of shared victories, marking moments of connection and gratitude.
Sadness, a portal to deeper understanding, inspires introspection and nurtures empathy. According to this new map of feelings (borrowed from Clinton Callahan’s Possibility Management), each feeling serves as a guide, inviting us to embrace the richness of life and make use of the energy we are in a conscious, constructive way.
Speak Up: Deepen Your Bonds!
Once you’ve mastered your inner world, share it! Start conversations with people that matter to you with “I feel…” Share your triumphs, your fears, your everything. This isn’t a shortcut; it’s the expressway to healing, wealth, and genuine happiness. It’s essential to recognize that not everyone is ready for or appreciates the truth. In navigating our connections, it’s perfectly okay to discern which people are open to authenticity and deepening connections, and which might not be. We can choose. Surrounding ourselves with those who appreciate our honesty and value genuine connections can lead to more meaningful and fulfilling relationships. Remember, authenticity attracts authenticity, and it’s okay to prioritize relationships that align with your values and truth.
Join the Revolution: Be True, Be Connected!
Guess what? It’s common to feel fear, anger, sadness, shame and guilt and try to hide it or ignore it.
New: it is not threatening anymore because you now detect it, accept it, allow to feel it despite the discomfort and go through it. You disarm and free the mixed-up, stuck emotions from the past by allowing to feel them. You get the idea: being real and embracing all of your emotions is the end of resistance to a big part of life, that is where the beginning to the true power lies. It takes courage! Let’s do it together!
Embracing the truth, no matter how challenging, brings an incredible sense of liberation. It’s a relief to learn to allow ourselves to feel what is, accepting thoughts even when they’re uncomfortable. This acceptance, this acknowledgement, is the first step to stopping resistance. No longer running away from our own thoughts, feelings, and emotions is an empowering act. It’s a declaration of self-love and acceptance.
What holds you back from your ultimate Freedom really?
Emotions like fear and mixed emotions based on unconscious internal chatter lead to self-doubt create barriers, hindering action. Past wounds impact confidence. Managing these is vital for growth. Courageously explore, face, and embrace all emotions to grow, transform, and break free from limitations und unhealthy patterns.
Courage despite the Fear
So, dear friends, let’s revel in this newfound freedom. Let’s savor the adventure of being true to ourselves, accepting every part of who we are. Join me on this journey to genuine living, where we embrace everything – emotion, thought, feeling. It’s a feast for the soul, a banquet of self-discovery and acceptance. Ready to embrace your true self? Fear is natural.
Courage is showing up despite the fear, stepping out of the haze of numbness, confusion, and unconscious feelings. Let’s start this transformative adventure together!
With unwavering energy, love and truth,
