So. I have recently made some pretty big changes in my life so that I can show up more fully to what it is I feel called to do and be in this world. Scary and exhilarating, for sure! In making this leap, I have to admit, there's this voice that's been screaming: "OK, Lauri... it's time to make it all happen... GO! DO IT! NOW!" The up side of this is a drive and desire to live fully and not waste another minute. The down side is a sense of urgency that can trip up the divine flow and actually stunt the authentic progress of the vision. Yes, it's helpful to make "to do" lists... to have goals... to be productive... but I am learning that it is the energy behind the tasks at hand that matters most... not just getting things done. The message I keep getting is to... relax. Ugh. I hate hearing that sometimes. Well... my ego monkey mind hates hearing that... lol.. But relaxing doesn't mean not doing anything. To me, it means staying focused on the intention of love in all that I do. To breathe. To allow. To truly be with myself, with the spirit of me, in order to do in a way that is in alignment with divinity. So, yeah... it's a Frank Sinatra thing (do be do be do...) ;-) Now, I'm not saying I'm always successful at this (!), but I am really becoming aware... which gives me an opportunity to practice. What I know is that when I operate with a sense of "just checking things off the list to get them done", I miss the whole point. I may get things done, but am I experiencing/feeling LOVE in the process? Am I giving and sharing love energy as I walk my life? These are the things that matter. Remembering to stay present and in the moment... focused on what matters... is huge. And it's where true inspiration to do (authentically) comes from. :-)
