You don’t create or own thought, it moves through you just like air
✨
Thought is the only thing that will ever get in between you and where you wanna be but it’s not real
✨
When we identify with thought we make it real and it becomes more than a thought when we load them with stories from the past or future
✨
When we can treat thought for what it really is - a temporary fleeting experience just like breathing - then we can be truly free and this is when we connect with our power
✨
We use our inner power every day to make decisions like brushing our teeth, the only thing that gets in the way of us using it to create everything else we want is thought
✨
Thinking is useful but there’s a time and place for everything and most of the time we don’t need to check in with thought before we do what we want because we already know what we want & how we want to do it✅
✨
Trust your inner knowing, it’s guiding you to where you need to be
✨
Loving you
✨

Balance isn’t something you need to strive for
✨
I haven’t had a social life since 2015 and being out here in Mexico has provoked me to think about my work life balance which I haven’t thought about in a long time
✨
I started trying to create a balance like - I’ll only party on weekends and separate my lifestyle from my work as a coach but they are one in the same
✨
My coach has helped me see that coaching supports me in creating the lifestyle I live and the lifestyle I live supports the work I do as a coach - the balance takes care of itself✅
✨
I spent the first 6 weeks here doing absolutely everything but working on my business - complete vacation mode
✨
Toward the end of the time I was more than ready to get back into working because my natural balance kicked in
✨
When balance kicks in it’s up to us to listen to it and start taking action & being patient with yourself if it takes a while for you to warm up
✨

If it’s making your life worse then it’s probably not spiritual truth
✨
There’s a lot of people who renounce money and worldly things because they’ve “found spirituality” but that’s not real because it’s disconnecting us from the experience we came here to create
✨
There’s nothing less grounded in reality than claiming that the physical world is any less real than the internal world - they’re both equally valid and real spirituality connects the two together and helps us create from both realms to improve all aspects of our lives✅
✨
I’m not trying to start an argument about what’s real and what’s not but rather provoke thought in you so you might get an insight into what’s actually helpful for you

9 out of 10 times there’s nothing else to be done but observe
✨
But when we go past observing ourselves and we fall into judgment or analysis then that’s where we find ourselves in the shit
✨
Layers of judgment solidify and become parts of our personalities and a personality is a mask over the true version of who we are
✨
When we drop these judgments of ourselves we deepen our own capacity for love and that’s where the magic happens
✨
Deepening our capacity for love is what enriches our experience of life because it allows us to love others more deeply and create connection✅
✨
Analysing our behaviour long after the events have passed only paves the way for more judgment - letting go is how we save ourselves from the overthinking
✨
How would your life be different if you stopped at observing yourself rather than going into the land of judgment?

Confidance & Conviction

How do you choose to experience your life? …to see yourself? … to talk to yourself?
.
All of the above is a decision! And it shapes you and ultimately your life
.
It’s easier to fall into a negative spiral, then to focus on positive things.. because the brain is wired to detect danger.. we automatically look out for “danger”, the one little thing that isn’t perfect… or we immagine the worst-case scenario…
.
It’s a decision to make an effort and to focus on the positive.
And it is worth it. Believe me. I know. This doesn’t mean to be naive or to ignore red flags or real danger…
It just means to also really see the good that IS around. The positive things in life are just as realistic as the negative! That’s why you CAN BE optimistic AND realistic.
You are responsible for your experience on this earth! Realizing this really changed my life
And I choose to focus on the positive every day because why on earth not??‍♀️
If there IS positive in our lives(and there always is).. why not really enjoy it??
If there is a possibility for our dreams to come true (and there always is).. why not immagining this, instead of what could go wrong..??⛅☀️
.
Okayyyy.. this was long..!! if anyone made it to the end.. congrats!❤❤ comment ‘‍♀️’ or '‍♂️’ if you did!!
