THE MISSING PIECE!

I've spoken many times about the 'Checklist of Life' You know the list that's unspokenly known to you by societies rules. The checklist that has changed over the decades depending mainly on what woman see & expect of themselves, how their list compares to those around them & then put it onto others to follow suit & question or pass judgement through your mind or out allowed, if by any means theirs is different to yours. Leave school, go to university for a career you need to be certain about, but if not just study anyway as it looks good & right to the world. Get that good/right career, find that right partner, get married (at the appropriate age, probably around the same time as all your friends begin to get married), have x amount of children (again a by an appropriate age, not at all like your grandparents or parents did...that's no longer acceptable - also usually around similar time as your friends), buy the house, make sure you're able to hold & do it all etc etc... Then if these things aren't been ticked off, or things aren't turning out as you had visualised & expected them to be, then... 'What's wrong' You start to question yourself....maybe... I'm not bright enough I'm to indecisive I'm not attractive enough I'm not good at relationships I'm not loveable, My bodies faulty I'm not deserving enough I find all too often by the conversations I have with my clients, woman who have abided by the 'checklist' rules, feel like there's something missing. Women who have yet to tick off things on the list, feel there's something wrong. They did or they're trying to do, all the so called right things, yet they wonder why they feel the way they feel. What's missing?... What's the missing piece? Something just isn't adding up, just isn't feeling right, and you think to yourself 'I just can't figure out what it is...what's the missing piece' Well beautiful...it's YOU! YOU'RE THE MISSING PIECE! There is nothing wrong with wanting or having all the things on that check-list...they are amazing & beautiful additions that can add to your world, that you can call your own, that you were a part of creating in your life. When things feel like somethings missing it's because your intention of stepping into having these things are possibly with the wrong intention. To fill a void, hoping that that thing will make you feel better, will bring you the fulfilment you desire. To look a certain way to others, a form of acceptance in the world around you. To feel loved, hoping that the more you give to others, the more you will receive love & be appreciated & accepted. For that if you look to have less in your world, you are not living up to the standards of society. Yet...when you pause to listen to what your heart deeply desires, When you take note on how you want your life to feel within yourself, How you want to feel on a daily basis about your life, It's not all the things you have, Those things that come from the outside of you...objects, what others can do for you, It's how you feel about yourself. How you take care of you. How you bring you to every thing you do, How you learn about who you are, wish to be and bring those parts of you to the surface - every single part of you. When you set a standard within yourself and live it, be the example of those standards. When you accept all parts of you...letting it all through, the woman that you are (your emotions, your sexuality, your rage, your excitement & joy) Letting yourself experience pleasure in many ways (sexual & non-sexual) Allowing yourself to receive, asking for support, letting go of holding it all. Creating your environments and showing up to the environments as you wish to be within yourself. When you look at your checklist of life, make sure you're creating it as you wish to see it for yourself & your future...that you're choosing it for YOU. That you're stepping into it with the best intentions for yourself because when you do, you are doing right by you and those around you and you will feel more fulfilled in the creations of it all. When you bring the love, the standards, for yourself into you and all you do. You've changed the game for your life! You've found the missing piece & it all starts to come together.
