The absolute JOY of staying in the mess
I’ve been sitting in the absolute MESS OF SHIT that comes up for me when I think about how I want to do the things I want to do next.
All of the fears. The unknown. The doubts. The “why bothers”. The way I really want to do this thing but I’ve never done it before so I just don’t know how BUT I do know I don’t want to just follow someone else’s path, I want to create my own way BUT, again, I don’t know how.
Feeling all the feelings that are sparked in this.
Thinking all the thoughts that come to mind.
Journaling. Getting it all out so I can try to see it from different angles.
And then… and this only happens EVERY TIME SOMEONE STAYS WITH IT… it’s like the bottom just drops out, and I land somewhere new where I can see something new.
That’s where I am this morning.
Actually I landed last night while trying to fall asleep, this new idea just floated in and was so excited it was hard to get to sleep.
And suddenly I have this new direction to go in and a SHIT TON of inspiration and motivation to GET MOVING in this new direction.
So many coaches and helper-people out there try to FORCE these moments. Like - give you their insights about your journey to spark this magic.
But it doesn’t work that way.
Because it’s YOUR journey. So YOUR perspective is the most important one. And your PROCESS of getting to the insight actually matters. Having it handed to you DOES dull the magic.
Being in the mess of your emotional and mental reactions to your process is an alchemical process. It brings you what you need.
So, as a coach, I don’t hand out insights on a silver platter.
I make space for you to join me in the mess, I have up string lights so you can find your way around to alchemize your stucks and obstacles into gifts, medicine and fuel.
Because this is better.
And you are worth this BIG magic.
So if you're in the mess - stay with it.
