YOUR LIFE NEEDS NO STRATEGY

Your life needs no strategy, it just needs you!
It needs you and your way.
We are bombarded with strategy, to do it this way, and that way,
And if you do it that way, it's wrong, you're wrong,
Then another says 'No, it's this way'
You get pulled all over the place, trying to find the way.
Getting more and more confused in which way to go.
Constantly second guessing yourself instead of trusting in yourself.
Sure there are areas of life, in some cases, stratigy works - business for instance, and that strategy is to convince people, to get noticed for the work you do. We understand that. Yet even then it's not all about strategy, and neither should it be. It get's to be more about creation than anything else...and creating it in your way, in what lands for you & how you get to do it.
But you and your life - stop with the strategy.
So much of what's happening out there is a 1, 2, 3 step by step of what to do.
In fitness, in eating, in love & dating, in friendships, just in living.
How bloody tiring is that.
That is not you, not really...Not at all!
The more strategy you put in, the less you,
The les you, the less flow,
The less flow, the more stress,
The more stress, the more confusion and energetically drained you become.
Everything is being tracked, measured, boxes ticked.
A walk is more about how many steps than it is about the walk, the peace, the scenery or just the pure joy of going for a walk. (guilty here)
Our food measured, counted, making sure we have just the right about of protein, fats etc - instead of just enjoying food for the enjoyment of it.
We hold so tight to an outcome, that that's where strategy comes into play, that if we just do what they say we must do, then surely we will get the outcome we want.
And yes you will...but usually at the cost of your joy, the cost of living freely.
What if instead we took our hands off it all for a bit.
Put the trackers down, the scales down, throw away the habit trackers and just let yourself be for a little.
Let yourself live a little.
Hold your ideals in your minds eye for sure, but loosely, with space all around it.
Release the pressure and give yourself back the freedom to just be.
Do you feel the weight lift just by thinking about that way of being?
Who would you be if you weren't tied to all that?
Can you choose for you, for the better of you?
You know what's good and right for you - you know exactly what's required of you.
If you think you don't - the only thing you're not doing is trusting in yourself.
When we don't trust, that's when the pressure builds.
So much out there is really taking your self-trust away from you, When they say you're wrong. You're not wrong...
You're just not doing what you know you could be doing, that you know will benefit you, and others.
It all simply comes down to TRUST.
That's it - nothing else.
You trust, you know the next step, you move.
You move, then the next step will present itself.
You don't move, then that first step will stay the first step until you take it.
You are enough, just as you are and the way you do.
Let yourself lean more into you, into your way of being and the right spaces, people, adventures will present itself - through words, through invitations, through quiet whispers.
I know this to be so true.
The more I live this way, the more that comes to me.
It's been a practice, but like everything - it's simply just a practice.
Trusting in yourself is that too - a practice.
As you step into living just as you are right now, any changes that are required of you, will also come forward - nothing will miss you that's for you...Nothing!
Life is not about strategy, it's about living,
Create your days that feel like you, feel in flow with your own natural rhythm.
Or at least start stepping towards that way of living,
Life, your life, just needs you to be you - All of you.
Bring her forward.
P.S
Join me inside The Art of Self - the space to be where you'll learn to step into trust with yourself. There is only one of you in this world, and you owe it to yourself to be fully her and do it her way.
Not only will you benefit - those around you will too...it's a ripple effect.
The moment you step into your own way of being, you will move differently, you will feel differently and you will experience differently.
The Art of Self (The art of you) is leading the way...Let it move you!
