Tired of being tired....?!?!

Are you doing you…. Or what everyone expects of you?

I want you to imagine you’re at the bottom of the ocean swimming ever so gracefully. The better you do the more you swim, the more you swim the more eloquent your movements become. Your movements gracefully perform from the heart and less from memory…. Effortlessly floating. Grace attracts and more people start noticing you and it feels good. Good to be noticed. Good to be appreciated. So you do MORE. Then other people start forming expectations of you.... everyone seems to get in line. Before long everyone wants a piece of you…..At first you feel strong, capable and in control but before long the more you do the more that will be expected and BECAUSE it happens so fast you start cutting off pieces, shortening the dance giving up the very heart that is YOU just to keep up. You tell yourself they need you. You enter into a race you are destined to lose. The swim becomes a heartless motion rather than the instincts and heart that got you there in the first place. Your swim becomes a race to the top only to gasp for air and drug back down by the ball attached to the chain around your ankle.

10% Here....

50% There....

5% Right now....

The best thing about this place in life is it causes you to STOP and EVALUATE. It gives you an opportunity to prioritize. The older I get the more I understand that I would rather say NO then give only half of myself. I would rather disappoint then not perform from my heart of hearts. Prioritizing doesn’t look like who gets a piece of me, it looks like choices on where to devote my attention.

If you learn to move with the natural current and connect the rhythm from inside to the outside you find your pace and that my friends is where you move your mountains.
