AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE
/I remember as a teenager I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer โ I desired to be extraordinary. ๐ I trained every morning and afternoon, I met Olympic athletes and I read biographies about people who had overcome insurmountable challenges. ๐ข๐๐ป
I lived in that space of discomfort, outside of my comfort zone, for a long time โ 5am wake up calls, training twice a day, pushing my body to the limit, dealing with my nerves at competitions and swimming in the freezing water of the Kingaroy town pool (that had no heating for many years)! ๐โโ๏ธ
Although my life took a different direction, there has always been the inner longing for a dream life. My muscles were worked, stretched, strained every dayโฆtaking me one step closer to my heartโs desires. ๐๐ช
Now instead of the muscles โ it is my emotions that receive a workout! ๐๐ฒ๐ I put myself on the healing table every week for my awareness swap with Jules (creator of the awesome healing systems). ๐ Growth often means becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable emotions and/or conversations.
Can I โbeโ with this discomfort/ emotional wobble knowing that it is creating more of what I desire? ๐จCan I ask for help and be honest when Iโm in emotional stress? ๐ It comes in different forms for all of us in our homes (it could be rushing, yelling at your kids or husband, jealousy, addiction, controlling, health problems, insecurities, criticism, depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, blaming other people etc).
Owning it means you can change it โ you can understand what patterns, programs or ancestral knots youโre in and discern what different choices can be made. ๐ Turning around what may feel like habitual behaviour requires a lot of presence, choice and practice.
I have consciously created my dream life โ what extraordinary looks like for me, could well be different to what extraordinary looks like for you. ๐I financially support myself, I have 2 days off a week to swim, go to the beach, read a book, I have rocking relationships with my husband and son, Iโm in a career I love, I live where Iโve always dreamt of living โ Sunshine Coast and my life is simple. ๐ฑ๐๐There have been oceans of emotional wobbles to create that! ๐โก Iโm sure thereโll be plenty more as I continue on the path of growth. ๐ฑ
However, if Iโm not aware/conscious I can easily fall into a very strong conditioning/program/ancestral knot that I โshouldโ work hard, make โmoreโ money or do supply teaching on my days off. ๐ช๐ฐ All of these choices take me back into survival, rather than my present life of thriving. I can survive or I can choose a life based on what my heart loves. ๐
What would you love to evolve in your home (which is an extension of your heart) that becomes love and life affirming? ๐
