Doing the opposite to what brings us joy

We always feel most at ease and peace inside when we are truly ourselves, when we are not wearing any hats, when we are not acting out any roles, when we are not trying to fit in. We feel most at ease when we set our boundaries, when we do not justify ourselves, when we do not seek approval or permission.

Amazingly we spend most of our lives doing the opposite of what brings us peace and joy. We are always trying to fit in, trying to please others, acting out roles, seeking approval and permission and fearing being our true self in case we offend someone.

Madness given we only get one shot at this human experience on this rock.

Just be you and enjoy the journey and the ones who are the true beings will get you as you are and those who don’t, well they have a different journey to yours.

Going with the flow

Our very best ‘art’ whether that’s painting, singing, writing, dancing, running or any other form of our most creative self comes when we are in a state of flow. Where we have let go of the thoughts that restrict us.

Where soul, body and mind are aligned, where the thinking brain is silent, where we are totally conscious in this moment, where we just have the joy of creating right now.

Of course, we can choose to have this flow whenever we want. We just need to let go and go with it.
