I'm in one of those moods. One of those kinds where I feel fiercely authentic and over-ready for life alignment.
Feeling seriously brave today.
Brave enough to leap into my destiny fiercely knowing that it will all work out, that no fear is worth holding back and playing life small.
I am tired of not having a hOMe. I am ready to hOMestead. I am ready to gather an intentional community of soul sisters and soul brothers. I am ready for goats and chickens and farm structure building (motivated by Pinterest pictures of repurposed materials). I am ready for an earth-grounded home. I am ready to live sustainably. I am ready to grow a business, leveraging my incredible life experiences. I am ready to open up completely to abundance. I am ready to secure myself with a savings.
I am ready. I am ready. I am ready.
So, how does one take a leap of faith like a badass?
My formula goes a little something like this:
Know that this is your undeniable destiny. Especially having tried other things that didn't light you up and didn't fulfill you because they were not your calling.
Tune in to your needs. What do you absolutely need? Make sure you have that, and be incredibly open and creative about how that can fit with your destiny. Ask yourself every moment how you need to be cared for - self-care enables you to show up ready for anything you are undertaking.
Hold a vision. Know what it looks like, feels like, tastes like, sounds like, smells like. Engage in it's vividness. Grow a vision board or alter or journal or list dedicated to every soul-delicious details of your vision. Visit it daily, carry it in your back pocket. Align your whole life energy with it.
Gather a support group. Your biggest cheerleaders. The ones who believe in you. The ones who remind you why you are doing this when you have doubts. The ones who won't let you step away because you don't think you aren't brave enough. The net you fall into every time you trip (it's a new dance, tripping happens!). The sisters and brothers who sit with you on the floor and listen to your heart and hold hands together while you stand back up, sending you off again like a father giving his most heart-felt blessing.
Face your fears and ask each of them if they can stop you. Sometimes, this requires heaps of trust that the thing will just work out in some creative way. And also trusting that what you are stepping into is better than anything you are afraid of.
Let good-intentioned folks keep their own fears. Know that their fears are their own stuff coming up for them. It really has nothing to do with you, except that you became a mirror for them. But if their fears trigger you, take a peek at them and see if they truly are a concern of yours that you want to examine, or if you were just absorbing their fear-energy ♥ Do some energy clearing and send them love and blessings, and hope that you will be a great example for them to follow their own dreams. If a dream is so precious and vulnerable, sometimes I don't even tell people until I'm in the next step (below), so they can't try to stop me. This may be a part of your self-care. And never underestimate the power of simple Ho'oponopono.
Be so ready that nothing can stop you. Grow that momentum until it cannot be stopped. Until the brakes don't even work.
Race around at the last minute to get prepared. lol This just happens to me - it's not planned, just spontaneity at it's best :) Don't let "not being completely prepared" stop you - you can check stuff off your list en route. Because the next step is more important than this one.
Leave, leap, catapult, propel. Just take a step. Just keep stepping. Just do it. Before you know it, your past is in your rearview mirror and the wind is in your sails. You freaking did it!!!!!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEE your statuses on Facebook. :) Inspire others! Let them on the ride! Maybe it's just to your support group? Or maybe this helps you get clear about who you want on your friend's list at all?
Allow the swift and powerful flow. This is the part where you would be freaking out if you tried to slam on the brakes or put a foot down in a riding down the river analogy. Just ride the ride. The longer you can ride it, the further you will get into it. And the incredible lessons you will have will blow your old self away.
Sit with your butt on the earth. And allow your head to swirl in the flow. You can be grounded AND in the flow as the same time. I highly recommend it. It's been an integral part of the processing and integration of all that has and is happening, and the continued ability to allow the swift and powerful flow.
Stay present. You are no longer who you were. You stepped into the fire, and it burned off all the old outdated stuff. You are just here, just you now. No need to try to remember who you used to be or how you used to do things. Enjoy now.
Be a lighthouse. Let your story inspire others. Speak your truth about risk-taking and faith-leaping. Encourage others to follow their dreams. Become a part of their support group. A perpetuating circle.
Rinse and repeat. Your life has been INCREDIBLE. But someday, you may feel stuck again and ready for a new adventure. Do it.
