There are times you face decisions that you would reeeeaally like to do, but feel unable to do.
Maybe because you don't have the time...
Maybe it's too much money...
Maybe it's just too far out of your comfort zone and you don't know where it will lead you...
Have you experienced that?
It's hard because it makes you wrestle with yourself.
You know it would be amazing and you would totally do it but you can't afford to, so you feel deprived and disheartened...
You kind of want to do it, there's that magical pull deep within you in that direction but it feels too unknown so you hold yourself back and then feel confused and limited...
You would love to do it but just can't see where you'd fit it into your overfull life, and you feel frustrated and exhausted and you question the point of your life...
What can you do in these moments of facing something you really want to do but feel like you just can't let yourself go for it.
Let me use my practitioner's course as an example.
Right now registration is open and there are just a few days left of the Early Bird discount - so for practitioners who are drawn to this work, there's a decision to be made.
Do I sign up for this profound transformation experience or do I let it pass me by?
Some people know it's not for them right now and they're at peace with letting it go past...
Some practitioners have jumped in without hesitation excitedly shouting, "Yes! This is EXACTLY what I need right now! I'm in!"
And some are wresting with themselves. "I'd really like to but I can't because..."
If you want to do it but there are things holding you back, it's not easy.
And at times like these, asking the love question can actually feel frustrating because you hear "If I loved myself I'd let myself do this." and you want to pull your hair out because HOW?!
How can you do this if all the other limitations are still there?
For me, the thing that helps me make my choices in times like this...
Times where I'm wrestling with my limitations and desires, wrangling with things that seem wonderful but out of reach...
Times where I'm asking myself in anguish, "I'd love to do this, it sounds amazing and will give me lots of things I want and need, but I just can't let myself do it. What will happen if I do this? What will happen to my time, my money, my sense of familiarity with how things are now...? What will my loved ones say...?"
When I'm so fixated on the fears of "What if I do this" I find it very useful to flip that around and ask myself, "Ok, let's think about this. What if I DON'T do it? What will happen to me then? How will I feel about not having done it? How will my life be if I don't do it? How will I feel about letting this pass me by?"
THAT'S when you'll get an important piece of the puzzle about yourself and your life.
Because the truth is, when you know something is for you and you give yourself permission to do it, you find a way.
Just about anything is possible if we decide we are going to do it.
So in our example of you practitioners who are wrestling with the choice now, of whether to sign up for this course or not, this is what I would suggest you ask yourself:
As I weigh up my pros and cons, I must remember to also consider the cost of NOT doing this.
What if I DON’T learn to love myself more in the next few months?
Think of my life seven months from now. Can I say for sure that I will be feeling better, eating better, approaching my work in a more satisfying way, setting boundaries in a healthier way, working with my money in a new way, feeling more at peace with my parenting, feeling empowered with my clients...
In seven months time, if I continue as I am, will I make those changes on my own?
Because if I join this journey I will.
In seven months time my life will look and feel substantially more satisfying to me.
Because I will be practicing making choices that make me feel joyous.
Joyous and excited about my life might become my new normal.
Imagine that?
So what is the cost of me walking away from this opportunity versus saying yes to my life and my dreams.
If I loved myself, what would I choose to do now?
I hope you found this helpful.
