Ready to finally live a simple, intentional, soulful life?
The one that's been waiting right here for you all along?
The backstory
At the age of 43, I was diagnosed with low thyroid function. I was working full-time, while also having a side business, and on top of that pushing myself to the limit in my spiritual work and community. But I was exhausted, over-worked.
My life was set of hanging scales. One side was my job; I worked all the time to have the money to do the things and have the things I was "supposed" to do and have. But then I didn't have the time or energy to do or enjoy the things I had worked so hard and so many hours for. This side of the scale weighed heavily on my heart and soul. I began to entertain the idea that I was just a flower wilting into middle age. I considered that I was being carried along toward my own death, that this was part of the natural cycle and winding down of life.
Accepting this notion of living a life in connection with myself and the Divine was relieving and calming. I knew in my heart that I had to make a sustainable change. But then the masculine Do-er part of me kicked in and said, "Naaaaah! We have to keep doing, pushing, being successful! Otherwise we won't be worthwhile," and I shoved my feminine intuition to live in a more connected way, aside. Maybe you shove it down too? This feeling of wanting to live a slow, balanced, harmonious life? And between job demands or a late-in-life career move you can not put off any longer, (maybe moving into a caregiver role to older or younger family members or a spouse), + a pandemic + political uncertainty, AND ALONGSIDE THAT, a burning desire to live a heart-felt, TRUE and simple life...
...it just feels impossible, but you are craving a simple, soulful, intentional life. Connected to the Earth. Connected to YOU. I was too. And even though I pushed and pushed and pushed it down, the feeling of constant dread in my heart didn't go away. The pressure, strain, terror of regret and unlived desires, felt like a stake pressing against my heart, threatening to pierce and puncture my "secure" (and according to masculine soceity's ideals, a nearly "perfect") life.
But you know what scared me more? The fear of dying not having lived my dreams and followed my heart. Then the scale tipped. One day, I was expected to stretch and expand one too many times. I could NOT continue in this way any longer. I could die doing what I didn't want to do or die doing what I wanted to do.
So I chose the other side of the hanging scale. The side with my desires, passions, and the utter unwillingness to die without having followed my heart. When I made this decision, the fear of letting go of the illusion of financial security lost its hold on me. And I jumped, trusting completely that the Universe would care for me.
I made my move. Literally! I took myself out of my protective (yet restrictive) bubble and followed my soul's calling to a little town in Mexico. I gave myself the gift of time and in return I stepped fully into a fulfilling live beyond my dreams. I kept (and continue to) question something so important: What if what was valued highly and trusted as a path - even if the way wasn't already pre-paved as in the path of university, job, corporate mobility, accumulating THINGS - what if I could give up that masculine paradigm of a successful life? And what if I could listen within and see what I, me, myself loved, what I wanted to do, what I LOVE to do... and do it? Your questioning may not involve moving to another country (or maybe it does?). But I bet you're feeling the push to unearth and uproot the old long-held beliefs and ways that no longer serve you. And I'm here to tell you: It's your turn to make the impossible your reality. To call yourself home. |
