Hello beautiful one,
Welcome to a three minute reminder to turn to your day around.
It’s inspired by one of my teachers in life, who held space for me when I was going through something incredibly hard and beautiful
Listen now, or – if you prefer to read this one – here it is.
One of my teachers in life said to me once, are you enjoying this? Because I don't think there's a prize at the end.
It made me pause and think.
Because here's the thing, my love.
Yes, we can be working towards goals.
But we get so hung up on ‘when I get the thing’, then everything is going to feel better.
But what if the game is not to feel better?
The game is to feel.
Life is about feeling.
But can you be truly present in the sacred moment that is your life right now?
Right now.
Even if it's present to:
I want to run.
I'm in resistance.
I’ve been crying for an hour.
I don't know what to do.
These are all moments.
They are all moments and we get so hung up on playing the outside-in game.
So my love, can you soften?
Can you surrender?
Can you smile?
Can you be delighted by what is here in this moment?
Even when it doesn't look how you think it should, I bet there is still a beautiful sky.
I bet there are still flowers that are coming into bloom.
I bet that your heart is still beating like it does thousands of times every single day without you even thinking.
I bet that you could stop and you could put on a song and you could get into your body.
All of these things are available.
The question is, are you going to stop?
Are you going to pause?
Are you going to notice this second of this day?
Thanks being here, being you and sharing part of your day with me.
With so much love,
Jo
