Hiding

We hide behind busyness and perfection because showing up and being ourselves is frightening.

If we learn to step away from the shame we all live with in our minds then we free ourselves from the fear.

Freedom comes when we learn that the stories we shackle ourselves with were created by us.

We are not the shame, the stories or our thoughts. We can come out of hiding.

Free from stories

Stop, pause, and ask, what story am I telling myself?

Whatever the story is, you are choosing what to tell yourself.

So we can change that story at any point.

The other thing even more important than that is, it is only your mind that is creating this story or stories very often. It isn’t the real you it is just your mind and its ego.

If you want to live out the fantasies of your mind then at least choose a good one. Better still live in the real life of this moment free from any attachment to your mind and its stories.
