Re-YOU-nion

Do you ever feel like you are disconnected? Not just from something random, rather, but who you are and what you are purposed to do with your "life-time"?

Let's face it, we all have an expiration date, how often do you get clear on what you are doing or what you are going to do with YOUR time?

I sat and really looked at how much time I give away, it made me sad to think that we as humans feel as though there are things we HAVE to do and those things trump what we actually enjoy and get to choose out of our own free will to invest our time into doing.

It wasn't until i chose to stop trying, stop pushing, fighting, battling, and doing, that I realized I can make the choice to do what I love and what I find FUN. Not only would I take back the power of my own time, I would be happy and rewarded greatly if I just knew THIS is what I have been blessed with the blueprints to do.

It was a massive shift, it was far from easy and what was needed. I suppose you are asking, like I did, How does one even begin to make this shift from work to play, paycheck to purpose, and giving time rather than being ready to simply use your time to serve not just anything but your purpose, then use in service of the greater good.

Truth is all it took to start, to make this shift, was (ready for this?) simply allowing myself to "Be". I didn't have to "Do" anything but get still and let all the guidance come from what should be all of our most trusted source, Source! Call it God, The Universe, your cat, harry, sally of Budah, the name isn't what is important, rather what you identify as the creator that does.

Wait, What? Just do nothing? Just Be? What the hell does that even mean?

After all, the consensus seems to be that getting still might just be the hardest thing on planet earth for humans to do. It seems so counter productive right? Some feel this is lazy, like it means if we stop the fight we give up, like if we don't join in on the internal battles, we cannot humanly exist. But once you actually surrender (not to be confused with give up) to something greater, a higher power, a voice that never lacks clarity and needs no courage or strength to get through, all the chaos will cease and you will be shown the magic inside. It just takes a blip of time to feel it, it is unlike any other feeling. Once you get it, you recognize when it returns and spend more time in it organically, then before you know it all you are here purposed to choose to do just keeps showing up. This is the feelings referred to as alignment and once you feel it it comes back longer and stronger. In this time, we take action in a way that lands and all you envisioned in dreams starts to show up physically.

It feels so different from other experiences, so foreign in the beginning, then you crave the stillness simply just to have more aligned feelings. Although hard to really put into words the best way to give it a word everyone craves is that it feels like freedom. That ease freedom offers and such a natural state of being, The more I felt in alignment and free the more I craved these moments of stillness, the home of clarity and cease all fire except the fire from my soul.

This reunion into the source of all that exists inside us all was and still is what I crave. Do I still go against the path of least resistance and follow conditioning? Sure, we all do, but with deliberate intention it happens less and less and this magical space just dying to get out is showing up as my own Stoopid Good World. A place that exists within us all, just named differently.

After having the sheer delight and pleasure of being a guest on the #warriorhealerpodcast and #breakfastwithBobbi I was given a vision of a podcast of my own. It is a visit with those living purposed in their own Stoopid Good World. And so very soon the Re- YOU nion podcast with be broadcast from somewhere in a Stoopid Good World into the world we all physically exist in. So stay Tooned, and let us know if you want to share what your own journey into that new reality looks like for you! #astoopidgoodworld #stoopidgoodfoods #wear_your_at

Losing Wait

Wait.......What? (Reader to self:) Didn't they mean weight? No, actually I meant Wait!

You know something is off, you feel something is off, but mostly because you SEE something is off you start to think about change. Then you find yourself asking the question

Can I Change?

The more I sit in the seat as the witness of my own life and the lives of those who I come into contact with, the more I realize that the real question is

Will I Change?

There is no question, we all can, but how many actually stop waiting for something outside of them selves in order to take one small step into making a shift toward change?

More often than not, we all have the answers living within the stillness within us.

We all have a good general idea of what needs to happen to start the process of change, but few are willing to see change as a multitude of small shifts that will lead to us making a huge impact on our own lives, hence #wait for the next quick fix, big idea, or thing that will be the leader. Before you know it the all or nothing mentalities take people out of the starting blocks and into the mindset of change being hard., so they wait and never begin. Instead of realizing that a #setpoint is needed, most people just set a goal and then fight, struggle, hustle, restrict, become a member, join a community or find an accountability partner in order to achieve success with that goal.

Waiting becomes this game that needs some sort of motivation to get started. But with willingness, none of us really need motivation to change. Motivation comes from external things, whereas inspiration comes from within. All it really takes for the process of change to begin is courage and trust., two tools among the many we are all given at birth. Trusting your inner voice, where the greatest source of inspiration comes from, is all anyone needs to make one tiny shift into the heightened sense of awareness needed to end the waiting game. Through this awareness, a set point is born.

Setpoint VS. Goal

Once we recognize and accept where we are, how we got here, and that change is needed, the setpoint comes to life and along with it, the heightened sense of awareness. This call to consciousness offers the clarity we need to learn along the process of getting to the goal and allows us to get to the next resting place needed to re-set and rest while we look at what it took to grow and how we shifted many times in the process of getting to the goal. Hence the end of the "can" question, beginning of the certainty of "will" and dissipation of wait.

But instead of giving ourselves the time to recognize and come to the #setpoint, everyone is in a hurry to reach the goal, hence missing how they got there once the said goal is achieved. What happens next? The ever frowned upon and misunderstood plateau. As it may seem, it has a bad rap because a plateau in layman's terms means to stop changing. Then returning back to the very habits and patterns that leads to needing/wanting change in the 1st place occurs and the vicious cycle of stagnation and waiting begins again.

But what if we start with a set point instead of a goal? As I discovered in my own awareness a plateau, when following shift into change occurs, a place of rest, review, and renew happens. At the plateau point I was able to slow my heart rate, control my breath and take a look at the journey to the plateau. Within this place of rest I was able to be still and hear what the next steps to learn from were. But as I had experienced in the past, without the setpoint and the race to the goal became the focal point, once I reached the plateau or goal I needed more external motivation to keep growing. Without that external motivation I literally had no idea how to continue on the journey, and even worse yet, what to continue on the journey for.

When we wait, and keep repeating habits, patterns, and cycles that go against the optimal system within our bodies, our bodies go into emergency mode and hold weight, cause us pain and dis-ease, and stop doing what they have been created to do for us. Stress alone is one of the biggest cause of weight gain and without opening our tool box that holds inspiration, trust, courage, and the tireless will to start to change, we become less that optimal ad eventually have no clue who we are looking at in the mirror on a day to day basis.

As I now know, only I can end the wait, stop pain and disease and release the weight, Stop waiting and start getting still. Do the breath work, take your own time and make it useful in the journey to purpose, and your higher lighter calling. Trust what comes through you and wait will never come to you.
