CHAOS, ORDER, CONTROL - Letting go and trusting yourself

Think about the last time that you experienced emotions of anxiety, stress, anger, frustration or disappointment. it was probably when someone or something did not do or go to plan. Your expectations were not met!

Snapshot – Picture how we would like it to be = when it doesn’t happen = Disappointment/expectations not being met = self-fulfilling prophecy activation = self-talk i.e see you can’t depend on people, life sucks, why does it always happen to me and so on and so on and so on...... STOP!!!!!    STOP what you’re thinking, what your feeling how your reacting and look in the mirror – Can you change the moment, the thought? - YES you can

Take back your peace, your joy and claim your happiness, then put things into perspective i.e. it’s not so bad compared to???? - we need to start appreciating and focusing on all the things that are good in our lives

So why all the Chaos and stress that we allow into our lives on most days and why do we thrive and focus on the negative and not all the other things which we mainly take for granted. The most important things that we miss – the sunrise, sunset, flowers blooming, smiling faces, children playing and endless more that pass us by daily but always seem to be filtered out. One of reasons is that we seek order, we are on a mission, we need to be somewhere to do something, to meet someone, to ensure that at the end of the day we are enough, have enough and so it goes on in the pursuit of control and order in our lives to provide us with a feeling or sense of certainty, security, assurance, that we are OK!!!!! But at what expense? What if we let go of the steering wheel and just trusted that our car powered by God or if you prefer Google can drive us to where we need to go, what if we trusted that we would be on time regardless of traffic, we would have the right words for the presentation even though we have rehearsed every likely scenario like crazy, we would be enough and shine in the new job promotion or interview. What about if we just backed ourselves and knew our worth and value and just realised that we are enough and that we are capable of great things when we release ouselves from being in control and using energy creating scenarios that we prepare for that never happen. How then could we see things differently, realise their are different options, understand different possibilities as we free fall into life exploring the vast beauty it offers. We would feel free, empowered, seeing that there are many possibilities and that we can dream, learn, create and do anything that comes our way from solving problems to overcoming challenges and being the best version of ourselves – Living a life that is meaningful and joyful. What could we start to create now? – the answer is anything we want – at any time we want with anyone we want – Life is a journey of learning and living and there it’s never about always getting it right, it’s how we gather feedback from the past and learn to design the future we desire and seek while loving the present – Let GO and let LIFE and Trust yourself
