repeat after me: I TRUST THE UNIVERSE SO MUCH, THAT MY RESPONSE TO EVERYTHING IS, “IT’S FINE.” BECAUSE EVEN IF IT ISN’T—IT WILL BE. It’s so hard to let go of control right? To stop the spiral of attempted problem solving in our brains, to stop that constant avalanche of worry that cascades through our bodies stopping us in our tracks. It’s so hard not to let fear hijack our brains and keep us from living our fullest, biggest, most authentic lives. It can stop us from trying for that job, asking that person out or feeling worthy of good things. Here are some conversations I have with myself when I start down that track ☁️ ask myself what could go right? 🌩 how can I stay present in this moment and not get swept away in worry (the future) or pain/regret (the past)? 🌤 what would I tell a friend to encourage them in this situation? ⛈what illusions of control am I holding onto that don’t serve me, and what can I let go of and release to my higher power (whatever your belief system) I know it can be scary to have hope, but sometimes all we need to do to start is act as if. Act AS IF we believe the universe is rigged in our favor. Try it, it just might surprise you ✨ *also I hope it goes without saying-there are serious situations we’re facing that don’t have the outcomes we want-loved ones get I’ll, people we love suffer, etc and I’m not in anyway minimizing those experiences. This post is more in regards to the endless little ways I’ve been experiencing fear crop up every day 💓
