You are your own curse
It’s no news to you that fear is one — if not THE ONE core emotion of human beings. One may argue that LOVE is king and first born but let’s face it, darling, we have a tendancy to cling to fear and to run away from love. It takes a whole therapeutic process sometimes to reconnect to love whereas FEAR invites itself at our table 24/7 and acts like a diva in our body mind spirit.
You know the drill: all well-being & wellness industry experts will tell you about the parasympathetic & sympathetic nervous systems and how we should balance the two, especially prevents an overdrive of the sympathetic one which is not that sympa as we say in French. Basically every one will tell you that you are a loser — less bluntly they may use a beautiful bow and gift wrap to say it — if you don’t manage to control your fight or flight mode because an endless list of damages to the vehicule embodying your body mind spirit is alas doomed to send you to the burnout, cancer, fatigue and whatsnot pit stop. Because, honey, you cannot drive fast and propel your days like a rocket to the sky all your life, your fuel is not endless. You are going to hit a wall. Sometimes you don’t even see it coming. But it will happen.
But hey, come on, that’s not the end of it. The Universe has your back. What’s endless and thus limitless is the seed within you that demands to grow and blossom; and trust me on this, you can call that seed love. And you can call it life too. Because life is love and love is life. And the good news is that love-life is what makes us limitless and strong as shit when facing challenges and hardships and victories and gold medals. It’s your organic and endless fuel. And this bank is never running out of money, it’s an open ressource to the ones knocking on its door. It is what makes us human.
The trick is you need to remember it exists. Because once again, that’s where we humans are very good at: to not remember the best and clinging to the worst. So how do we become limitless and drink the love-life healthy kool-aid? How do we reconnect to our core?
Become a witness. Witness your words, your posture and your thoughts. Whenever you find yourself using coulds or shoulds or never or impossible, adjust. I assure you that switching from “could do” to “will do” and even simply “do”, gives you healthy power and joy. And joy, my friends, is what remains when fear is gone. So fill your life with joy, from baby steps to giant leaps of joy and you shall rediscover that feeling of being limitless, just like a kid walking by herself/himself. That feeling of joy and bliss.
Connect to your senses. Go for a swim in the ocean, a walk in the forest, hike on a mountain top and feel the breeze, the sun, smell the grass, the flowers, the pines, touche the moss, the sand and the leaves. By connecting to nature you connect to life. I challenge you to not smile while doing that. It’s impossible, my dear. You belong to this world and by coming back to the roots of it, the elements of air, space, fire, water and earth, your are connecting to what created you. LOVE. You are love, loved and loving. Try to remember it and you will remember you are limitless. And that, my friend, will make your dreams come true. And the nature of your journey on Earth limitless.
