How often do you say, “I’ll figure it out” or reason with yourself why what’s not fully working is ok? 

Do you actually pretend to yourself that you’re content slipping away into a comfort zone of disconnection that’s so far apart from who you are as a spiritual being and master of your life? 

Often there are logical and legitimate reasons we do this, but that doesn’t help you feel truly inspired, fulfilled, present, connected and loving. In fact, these patterns keep us stuck in scarcity, survival, lack worry and overwhelm. Then we shrink ourselves and our lives rather than expand thinking that’s the only option out of our limited view point and available energy.

Remember, it’s just a story. You are so much more than outdated patterns but it does take some consistent and conscious effort to realign. 

Let’s focus on some questions today that can help you course correct. 

• Do you try to avoid conflict? 
• Do you hide what’s going on in your life thinking you’re protecting others, or out of exhaustion and feeling defeated? 
• Where can you show up fully alive and full in your being? 
• What do you do that’s truly filling your cup vs. a time waster? How can you prioritize even more? 
• Do you focus on urgencies or avoiding discomfort? 
• Do you prioritize what’s truly important to you or do you get caught up being busy and feeling needed?
• When you’re feeling vulnerable, what does your mind need in this moment? Rather than spiraling emotionally how can you stabilize?  
• Where are you missing the feedback your body, loved ones, communication or your finances are giving you? 
• What have you been avoiding gaining stablitiy in that you know will serve you long-term? 
• Where do you tend to get snappy or reactive? These are often areas we are avoiding showing up for ourselves in to learn and go deeper.

• A great question to ask is: Am I Choosing Myself Right Now? In this season of my life? Am I choosing myself consistently? Do I love myself? This isn’t selfishly choosing ourselves or ignoring others. This is a much deeper topic but ultimately when you show up for yourself you’re able to show up clear-minded, loving and stable for others. 

It’s really challenging to build the life you want if you’re unwilling to be uncomfortable. You have to be willing to be uncomfortable asking yourself these probing, potentially uncomfortable questions in order to grow and really build your awareness and choice. 

If you want your life to be one of your choosing it takes dedication and a willingness to be uncomfortable.

Learning how to be comfortable being uncomfortable is your greatest gift.

Let me explain. 

You have to be uncomfortable sitting with yourself each day. 

Allowing space and permission for any thoughts and discomfort to arise so you don’t unconsciously spend your day overcompensating, so you don’t have to feel. 

Asking these questions, or noticing how you wake up in the morning or as you go about your day, it’s so helpful to tune into your body and allow it to be your partner on your daily journey to help you. 

Bring awareness to where any tension and discomfort are in your body and thoughts. 

See where they’re trying to protect you? 

After you feel it and see the benefits, also see the truth. Your spiritual truth. Out of fear, scarcity and judgment. Come back to yourself.

See what you’ve chosen to focus on instead. There are places we’ve chosen to have ease and now may feel tension, the more awareness you bring to the choices you’ve made, the more choice you have moving forward. 

Is what you’re doing working for you? What is a small shift you can make? Before external actions comes internal alignment. 

You have to be uncomfortable in the unknown. While you may not know everything about what’s ahead. You do know who you are as a connected spiritual being where everything aligns and has the potential to guide you in your flow when you choose it.

You have to be uncomfortable holding your space and your light around others. Rather than convincing or trying to get validation or understanding from others, you have to stay focused and find where your support system lives. 

Know challenges are your support and vice versa. Your biggest challengers are your feedback and support system to help you grow when you see it for what it is and use that energy wisely to reinvest in yourself. When you drain it on others—that energy isn’t helping you move towards what you want. 

When you feel challenged, what are you making this moment mean? 

How is this challenge trying to help guide you into what’s truly most important and aligned for you so you can be yourself? When we avoid challenges we often shrink and become even more reactive. 

You have to be uncomfortable consciously choosing your peer group and where you spend your time and sometimes having loving but clear boundaries for yourself and your space. 

You have to be diligent with your energetic, emotional and mental intelligence as well as committed to your physical, vocational and financial life. 

Remember, whether it’s where you are in this season of your life or someone else you love, sometimes we get comfortable being disconnected. 

It’s so critical during these times to re-evaluate and prioritize connection. With yourself. Your body. Your mind. Your spiritual practice. 

Your practice and dedication to yourself come first. That aligns you into your purpose. Your purposeful and intentional actions help guide you in feeling and being purposeful, present, dedicated and inspired. This is the formula for your flow.
