Hey Friends! I am going skydiving for the first time for my 35th birthday and it has got me thinking; when was the last time you took the leap? When was the last time that you threw caution to the wind and took the chance you’ve been too afraid to take? Maybe it’s something huge, or maybe it just feels huge. Maybe it’s time to heal that relationship that’s been rocky… maybe it’s time to turn the page… maybe you’ve been wanting to start a project… maybe you just want to make a change. Whatever it is… the time is now. Do it! Stop worrying, stop letting fear rule your life. It’s time to face up to what you are afraid of. Stare it square in the face and tell it that you aren’t running anymore. Then see how you feel. Has anything changed? Has everything changed? Do you still feel stuck? Do you feel liberated? Do you feel something? Anything? Even scared? It’s ok to feel… It’s ok to be scared. It’s not ok to not feel. It’s not ok to ignore it. Life is meant to be lived, felt, experienced to the fullest. We are only here once! As my husband would say, we will never be here again! So take the leap! Choose to live, choose to feel, choose to be scared and do it anyway. Whatever is plaguing you, face it, embrace it! That is why we are here!
Today is the day to fall back in love with life, with yourself! If something isn’t working, address it. I know how it can feel when it seems like there are no answers, no way out. But the truth is, you always have more power than you know. You can make choices, you can choose to think differently, you can choose to see things from another perspective. Would that make a difference? Today, I will be choosing to see things from a birds-eye-view. I don’t know what that will change, but I am certain it will shift my view of life. That is the beautiful thing about being human. We are always growing, always changing, always able to shift our lives, our thoughts, our perspective. And frequently, that “trapped” feeling is actually a product of our conditioned mind that has been molded by society, our parents, our friends, our family. And that is wonderful, as long as it is working for you. But if you ever find that it is not, remember that you have the power to choose for yourself, think for yourself, live in your truth. So if you aren’t living your truth, today is the day for you to take the leap! Dive into the person you are instead of the person others have told you to be. Take a deep breath, take the leap, and take it in! As for me, I’m diving into the sky and planning to enjoy the sensation, the fear, the excitement, and the view. See you on the other side!
