This has been a fascinating week. Have you noticed how life is moving very rapidly and whatever hasn’t been working in your life is up for close examination? It can feel aggravating and vulnerable to have my “warts” in my face but I’m finding it exhilarating as well. I’m not interested in hanging onto patterns, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors that don’t support me in dishing up a rich, juicy, joyful life. If something hasn’t been working I’m all for shining light on it and mopping it up with love.
It’s so odd to wake up and suddenly notice something that’s been effecting my life in big ways and was previously under my radar . What a relief to discover today, after 53 years of living that I’m not in charge of everyone’s happiness. I have officially taken off my suit that says, “I’m responsible for making your life easier whether it’s my business or not.” Where did I get the idea that I am the eternal problem solver whether you ask me to help or not? I’ve discovered it takes a great deal of energy to “hold” everyone’s concerns and dilemmas - energy that is depleted from my creative process and from my personal focus.
Lately when I observe myself obsessed with someone elses problems I calmly and sweetly say to myself, “Are you sure you want to take up your valuable brain space with someone else’s life?!? Linda, why don’t you send them a little love and focus on your life and this glorious present moment?”
OOOOooh yeah it feels much better to not be in charge of the planet. I think it may survive without me. Freedom feels divine.
I wonder what else had been under my radar? Bring it on. I can handle it cuz I’m not in charge of anyone but me so I’ve got brain cells to spare.
Anything interesting been up for you?
Love to hear. x0 Sacha
