Get into your body here and now

This series of blogs called “getting comfortable in your skin” has been inspired by Coventry Magic by Jacki Smith.   

Just to recap: For 2015, we are dedicating ourselves to unleashing your personal power. Since this is no overnight task, we have broken it down month by month. January, we talk about getting comfortable in your own skin.  Before you can become your most empowered self; our thought process is first you have to figure out who the hell are you before anything?  Last Wednesday, I wrote about prioritizing and being realistic about about what you can really accomplish and being happy with that.  If you would like to read it, it is called: Reality is the key word here.

Get into your body here and now

What is it that make you want to focus on a certain flaw or have a passion in life?  What makes someone in a constant diet or another always wanting to learn how to paint?  If you are honest with yourself, it will not take long to follow your desires and goals to the patient zero moment.  The core motivation, that primeval drive. If I followed my fantasies about how I would like to live down to their root, I would find  a fear of the aging process waiting there for me.  After much thought about where my anxieties lie, I have come to terms with the fact that this is what motivates me.  For you it may be not having a terrible relationship with your children, to be remembered or to tap into something bigger than yourself.

Once you are there,right to the bottom of things, take some time to process this and ask yourself if you are currently being true to these desires. You will be amazed at what becomes important and what you can leave behind. Be true to yourself and even if you do not achieve everything you set out, you will still have the feeling of satisfaction that you are being honest with yourself.

The more honest we can be about what really motivates us, the more we can focus on the little things that will either help us to come to terms with our fears or help us feel more fulfilled in life. It is also much easier to give ourselves a break for not always being successful. Next week, look for the article: Forgiving yourself coming next Wednesday.
