IT'S GOT TO COME FROM WITHIN YOU

No one else can tell you who you are, what you are or who you get to be, that's got to come from within you. Only you know what's truly for you and what's not. It's all just a choice, then it's a matter of showing up for yourself no matter what. You are responsible for this, for you, for the world you wish to live in, and the person you wish to be. Everyday (well almost every day) I journal and have been for years. It's my way of letting what's inside of me out, it allows me to have a conversation that I may not have with others, it allows me to get clear, refocus, untangle all thats in my mind. It's where I allow my ideas to spill out on the page, where my dreams and desires get to be heard and for me to speak my truth and all I wish to be for myself in my world. I've never shared a piece of my journalling, but today I thought I would. I question myself, I write what I'm thinking, what I'm wanting to see, feel, be or do. I just let it come out as it comes out...so here it is, I hope it sparks something within you for you. "I choose to be in the moment of where I am now. Looking every morning to where I wish to go, what I wish to be and have, Then coming back to right now and showing up as that person in each moment. You can only become the person you wish to be if you think you are already that person. You've got to act and show up as that person now, even if you're not that person just yet. You've got to walk through your days as though it already is. The person you wish to be... What's her confidence like, What conversations does she have, How does she treat herself and others, Who does she have in her space, How does she start her day, show up as throughout her day, How committed is she to being that person she desires to be. I've being thinking a lot about the person I wish to be, the one who at my core excites me to be her. I think about the work I do, I think about how I show up for myself and for others, I think about how I hold myself, I think about how I speak and think about things, My mind has been going around and around a lot lately, like a maze, in every direction. Overwhelming myself, wanting to come back to the simple things in life. And committing to myself like I've never done so before. I'm that woman who is confidant in her learning and is willing to give it a go, to keep practicing my dance and to show up for myself to be a great dancer so that I can enjoy it even more so. I am that woman who works hard in a fun way who does the work every single day to get myself to the position I desire to be. I show up for myself every single day. I make a commitment to myself every single day. I trust that everything is ok and will always be ok. I always find a way to make things work. I don't give up on myself ever, I show up for my kids in every way I know how to and in the best way I know how to, I love and respect myself and other always. I following what my heart knows is right for it. I commit to myself. I clear my space and I get first things first done first...always. I always have something to offer, always, I never miss a beat. I listen, I hear people, I talk only when I feel it is required. I don't try and get people to understand me, I am comfortable within myself and turning up as myself how ever I choose to show up as...I am not here to change another's mind of me. The right people will know if I am for them or not. I trust I will always be ok if I follow my heart. I look after myself always. I always know the right things for me to do...I am in full alignment and trust with myself. I care so much about others leading their life their way and being free to explore and express, that I do the same for myself. I choose to only be in the conversations that speak of growth, change, excitement, love, commitment, joy, connection I give space to others to be all that they wish to be for themselves, even if it's not what I'd choose, I allow all my emotions to be ok and always make time and space for myself to look at things from different angles, I show up for myself every day, no matter how I am feeling I always show up. My work and my life is important and I take full responsibility for this. I allow the feminine, sensual woman that I am through by using all my senses and know that it is safe to be all of her, I trust in myself that I know what I need to do to make things work and I do it. I connect with people I am responsible for connecting myself with others all for the right reasons. I let go of my selfishness and move forward to serving others. I do the work." I truly believe that if you don't feel you're being who you wish and know yourself to be, that to be that person, you've just got to start being her before you even begin to feel it. You've got to start showing up how that person shows up, no matter how scary, no matter how challenging, no matter what, like it's already done, and over time, you will wake up one day and realise you've become that person. Live your days in the thoughts that you already have all you require now to be and have. There is always a step, an action, a choice, a way of being, that you can do now to move in the direction you choose. So who do you wish to be? Start with one thing and show up as that...and put your hand up to what others think about it. Your life, your way.
