To be honest with you, I'm feeling super sad and drained right now. You never realize how much you have to break your own heart to evolve and chase down your biggest dreams.
Change is constant, change is good, but damn does it hurt like hell sometimes.
I was going to skip writing today, but I know I need to remain transparent through all parts of my journey and not just show the final tidied up ending. I've made life altering decisions in the past six weeks since I got back from Cuba, causing major shifts in every aspect of my life.
I'm leaping.
And I. Am. Terrified.
Like heart racing, calling my Mom crying, biting all my nails, waking up crying every morning terrified.
I think that means I'm doing it right ;)
I love the dream chasing rollercoaster, this is not my first ride, but it still scares and enthralls me just as much every time.
I'm still wrapping my head around things β AKA days upon days of INFJ alone time right now.
I've learned that it's best to face the pain when it's happening. I do have a tendency to bury it deep down and pretend like everything is perfect... until it uncontrollably erupts. So I'm (doing my best) to let it out as it comes in waves now.
Find purpose in your pain. Acknowledge the overwhelm, give yourself permission to have bad days, let yourself cry and freak out, then accept it and learn from it. You are strongest on the days you feel weakest.
You guys will be the first I tell once I'm ready to break the news publicly. I just need some more time to sit with it on my own (+ I don't actually know what I'm doing anyway) :)
OK you know the drill β below is the latest list of links that I'm referring to so I can build my best life one intriguing article, book, video, and podcast at a time:
WHERE I'M TRAVELING
- Home in London letting life unfold around me, and working through my London Bucket List! Check it out and hit reply and let me know if you'd recommend anything else to explore in London or the UK.
WHO I'M FOLLOWING
- Hilary Thurston β AKA The Tarotologist! I was introduced to Hilary through her sister Lindsey, who I met in Antarctica a couple of years ago. I recently got the Tarot PDF reading β $20 for a three card spread and a page of written insights. I've done never Tarot like that before but it was a great experience and I really appreciated Hilary's intuitive perspective on my situation. If you don't have time or the cash for a full live reading, this is an ideal option. I just ordered my second Tarot PDF today :)
WHAT I'M WRITING
YOUTUBE VIDEOS I'M WATCHING
- Full Moon was in Virgo this Tuesday 2/19! I have been an emotional wreck all week, channeling all the energy right now. I'm a Virgo so I was personally intrigued to learn about the astrology around it β as always, Wonder Girl Astrology did not disappoint with her video on it β LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT IS OVER!! β total mood these days.
COACHING EXERCISE I'M TRYING
- I've been using the Ideal Day Mad Lib from Jenny Blake to visualize my future dream life.
WOMAN OWNED BUSINESS I'M SUPPORTING
QUOTE I LOVE
- βThe size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.β β Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Remember that you are good enough, you are smart enough, and you are talented enough. You were born with exactly what you need to chase down your biggest dreams.
I appreciate your time today! Enjoy your weekend, and take care of yourself.
