Living Outside Self-Abandonment

I've been like this forever.

I don't even know how it began.

I used to be so free. The world was filled with possibilities.

I embraced my intuition.

I made my dreams manifest. I remember when people would say "I have no idea how you do these things, and so quickly."

Now, I am tired constantly.

Emotionally and physically.

I have a list of things I have to do that never ends.

I can't even find my excitement, my fire, my passion anymore.

I don't remember who I am. I can barely remember who I used to be.

I don't have time to be myself.

Honoring myself? I don't even understand what that is really.

How am I supposed to honor myself when no one else does?

I'm the reliable, practically invisible (unless someone needs something from me), superwoman that supports everyone. Even people I have no idea how I got saddled with.

No? What is no? It's an excuse for other people to drill into me how I HAVE to support them. Because that's what you're here for.

OK, feeling the pain yet? I'm sure you are.

That's the secret...

You are not meant to be fixed. You are NOT broken.

You are meant to remember who you truly are.

The girl who could fall into a world when writing a story.

The girl who was fearless, or at least believed in feeling the fear and doing it anyway was her core mantra in life.

The girl who expected to build a business that was world known. Even though you didn't know what the business was or would be.

The girl that lived in awe of nature and loved hiking, biking, photography.

The girl who wanted to make a difference and save the world.

You are still in there. Begin by taking 10 minutes (don't tell me you can't, you know if you want something badly enough, you WILL find a way to get 10 minutes back in your day).

Take 10 minutes and focus on a time in life where you felt the possibilities were endless. Where you have all the time, energy, passion and drive you could imagine.

Where synchronicity was the stones you jumped on across the streams and rivers in life.

Where you only saw your goal, and you forgot to look down at how far you could fall.

Too hard to stay focused?

Take a sheet of blank paper, make a clock on it. Write the hours 1-12 on the inside of the circle. Make the circle large enough that you can draw a short line out of the clock next to each number where you will write an answer to this single thought:

Why I love... You need to fill in the rest.

Why I love going out to the forest on a hike.

Why I love going out with my friend Jen.

Why I love feeling...

Why I love winning the lottery...

(Inspired yet?) Then take numbers 1 -12 and at each number fill out the FEELING of the success. The excitement. The peace. The joy. The love.

This takes you to your power. Your memories of success.

Remembering is your key to coming home to yourself.

Depending on who you ask, it takes 30 seconds to begin to manifest, others say 67 seconds, others 90 seconds and so on.

It's not about the amount of time. It's about getting back to remembering the power locked inside of you. Maintaining that energy, that power, those possibilities. Awakening yourself...again, to the Self-Honoring Woman.
