Easy Ecuador - Day 9

do something. Any something. Do anything. You've heard me say it before, what's the absolute smallest thing you could do about this idea today? Tell a friend. Get out a whiteboard. Make a call. Set up the meeting. DO something about your idea. And then keep on keeping on with doing tiny little somethings. 

Do that, and your idea won't remain just an idea for long. Maxie Mc Coy

The past couple of days flew by! If anyone told me that I would have been spending the New Year's Eve in Ecuador with a bunch of people I never met burning palo santo and old beliefs I would probably would have laughed, but that is what I love about life- it's an unexpected adventure, it is unpredictable at best and hence I keep in mind "expect the unexpected and handle it!"
Waking up every morning and walking to an empty beach was just what I desired! I connected with myself in a deeper way, meeting Napo - an energy healer and Shamaan, was perfect, he came to the beach with me twice and his sharing of knowledge was immense! I learnt about clearing my energies, listening to my intuition and being open to what the Universe is telling and showing me. Perhaps a reminder was necessary.

I sat in front of the fire and "tossed" what I decided unnecessary moving forward on this new journey called 2018

I tossed in people pleasing
I toseed in saying yes to things I want to say no to - links to people pleasing
I tossed in unhealthy relationships
I tossed in unhealthy habits
I tossed  in fear 
I tossed  in overthinking
I tossed in over working and little rest
I tossed in feeling bad after "rejection"
I tossed in eating too much cheese rolls from Tru Value Supermarket 
that caused a big fire! and I let it burn

Giving thaks for 2017.every gig.every yes.every no.every person met.every book sold.every rejection.every acceptance.every journey.every lesson.every smile.every tear.every cuss.every day. every journey. every country.everyone. I give thanks. for everything.
2017 thank you. 2018 thank you in advance

What is being of service?

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?

Image
  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...
