So I recently have let myself get bogged down in mud! My head has had a heyday with me(I let it) telling me I am not capable of presenting at a summit I am attending at the end of this month. I also have allowed myself to feed the fear of all I have accomplished this past year is going to diminish and I will end up back where I was. Now I know in my heart that none of this is true, but I tried to silence my head and wade in the mud for a few days-becuase we all know it made me feel better-NOT! I even went as far as to make a list of all the things I felt I was not worhty or capable of so I could wallow a little deeper! I was sure that everything I had written down was true and felt I could prove it-I even had pictures.
So as I sat in my friend's offcie with the purpose of working on my presentation I brought out the list like a kid with a painting they want hung on the fridge! There was no way I thought she could dispute it, I had back up statements, and like I said pictures! So I read it to her and you know what happened next-she laughed and said you know better! One by one she disputed everything I had written-and I argued back-determined to win! She went as far as to call it my s&*t list! So she asked for it, I brought out the big guns and asked her with certainty what would so & so do! (I was asking her about the founder of the Nurtured Heart Approach ). Here was her reply, he would say "get out of the mud!" Not the answer I expected, after all everything I listed I had irrefutable evidence on-or did I?!?
I had allowed myself to became mired in the mud of negativity, of I can't, I am not, I will not... versus I am capable, I have worth, I am greatness. She then took my list and rewrote all the negative into positive and had me read it in 1st person-very hard to do! But as I did-not willingly mind you, I started to feel a shift take place. As I started to see, hear, recognize my greatness once again out loud, my head could not dispute what was being said and my heart was energized.
I discovered once again it really os that simple. All I neeeded to do in reality was hot the RESET button of my heart and remeber what is true about me that what I do is not my greatness but who i am is! I have since read the rewrite of that list several times and each time I am energized even more into my heart and mu greatness!
Here is the best part of all of this...the circumstances did not change-but I did. I went back deep into my heart, into my gratness and with determination made the mud pit a mud spa! What a difference, I was able to feel amazing the entire day and even share with others what it means to live in your greatness!
So I challenge you...mud pit or mud spa...it really is your choice and the outcome when you choose the spa is amazing!
