release your stress

“Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be.” ~Alan Watts

It is so easy to become lost in the belief that we are the waves on a stormy sea yet we are so much more, we are the deep ocean, the waves are just the surface.

Release your expectations about how you think life should go, and approach life from a place of exploration. This opens you up to experiencing things that are beyond your wildest dreams.

Comparing yourself to others, is very deep in our psyche. Like the fight, flight, freeze response it is probably rooted in our primitive limbic brain Another artefact from our ancestors, only this one is about status and hierarchy within the tribe, where status once played an important survival role as to whether you mate or are mated, how well you feed and how others in the tribe treat you.

Explore through life knowing deep down that you are always guided to exactly where you need to be.

When you focus on releasing the thoughts about how you imagined your life to be, your most loving, truthful self can come forward and guide you. There is nothing to figure out.
