What is yours to reveal?

Bring to mind a situation, relationship, belief that both challenges you and that you are ready to experience shift around.  

Got it?  Now:

  • Imagine a documentary film crew has captured all of it. What do they see?
  • What is hidden from the cameras?
  • What is yours to reveal?
  • What will you do about it?
  • By when?

Locked out!

Lock

This morning I woke early and took my first cup of coffee to the front porch. The stillness was sacred. The quiet broken only by the wings of the hummingbird arriving at the feeder. Ah!

Then it was time to go back inside. I tried the lock. No luck. Locked out at 5:20 am in my pajamas! The spare key? Tried it. No go.

Thankfully, my hubby wakes easily when strange women speak through the bedroom windows! He let me in – then tried that spare key again. Of course if worked! “You just have to jiggle and wiggle a bit.” So I wonder, what is the lesson here?

How often have I felt locked out and too quickly abandoned the goal?
What would “jiggle and wiggle” have looked like in those instances?
What has me quitting too soon?

How about you?

What project, what habit, what desire have you given up on?
What is your needed jiggle?
Wiggle?
What would get you iggling?

What map are you following?

TreasureMap4By6

Have you thought about your life map lately? You know the one: it has clear directions which guide your choices day to day on the road to a happy, healthy, fulfilling life.

You don’t have such a map? You just roll with the punches, let life push you around, or perhaps just go through the motions of living?

Oh! You have a map and, truth be told, it is actually very limiting so that you “succeed” and make no mistakes along the way.

Not that? Maybe you are following a map very carefully – but it isn’t your map.

Most likely, you are somewhere on the continuum between no structure and over-control or self-responsible and giving all your power away. And perhaps you are at a different point depending on which aspect of life (work, primary relationship, self-care …) you are thinking about.

Today I’d like to invite you into a few simple questions around any area of life that is chaotic, unhealthy or even just too comfortable.

Who is in the driver’s seat?
If nothing changes, where are you going?
