Getting REAL by being vulnerable



"What we focus on EXPANDS." -Danielle LaPorte 

Think about that. Re-read that sentence. Now read it out loud. Those four little words can change your life.

Tonight, I chose to dive deep. I opened an emotional canyon earlier today and I didn't realize how much I was carrying in my body; my fears, my worries, my anxieties, my uncertainty. I feel heavy and caged just typing those words. I realized that my body has been trying to tell me, for days, that my mind was weighted down, burdened to the brim. My body was yelling at the top of it's lungs for me to step back, get quiet, and listen to the steady voice that I often try desperately to ignore. But tonight, I opened a book I've been wanting to start for months, The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte and I realized that I needed to get grounded, rooted, seated, quiet, introspective, to go deep, to get real.

I always find that when I make time to shift, I am able to connect sincerely, truly, honestly, and radically. I move from hiding, covering up, being fearful, escaping, to BEING TRULY INTENTIONAL with how I want to show up in the world.

Take some time to get RADICALLY REAL. To focus on what fills you up and EXPAND from that place. Magic happens there.
