Easy Ecuador Day 5

Don't make the mistake of allowing others to tell you who you are supposed to be- Alicia Rodriguez

They asked me if I wanted to go to Isla De La Plata. I responded by asking how long would the boat ride be. They responded - one hour and showed me the boat
I was about to say no thank you
Boats scare the shits outta me! I hardly ever step foot on them for more than 15minutes, that's my limit and it must be a HUGE boat, not that little piece of thing they wanted to send me on
Then it hit me! What's on the other side of this boat ride, this fear? I get an opportunity to come to Eciador to see the poor man's Galpolos islands and a little puke will stop that?
I said yes
So this morning I put on my gam face and stepped on the boat, the self talk was strong, I kept watching the time, one hour they said, stay inside me, wait
The island was amazing, the birds, the view, the dolphins, the manta rays, the experience
On my way back the puke was not listening to me, oh my god, didn't I ask you nicely to stay in my body?
Maybe it was all the watermelon and pineapple that I ate on the island
It came out but oh so worth it, so happy that I made th trip!
Feel the fear and do it anyway! simple
Peace

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
