Daily Nugget #190
no matter what
learn how to show up.
show up for yourself.
no matter what
or
how you are feeling
or
what’s happening in your life>
show up for yourself.
know what it feels like TO show up for you.
do you?
showing up takes commitment.
<my theme lately>
i’ve learned what commitment truly means>
thru my work.
writing. teaching. club freedom. coaching.
i learned HOW to fully commit to myself
when i committed to something that i believe(d) in.
it’s funny that’s the way it goes.
get to yourself thru others.
i’m not sure that i would have learned how to listen so deeply
had it not been for you. yes you.
the readers. the listeners.
thank you.
as this year wanes
and
the sun empties
we approach newness.
soon
a great shift will happen
the days will lengthen
the year will flip
people will decide to commit to something new.
‘this year i’ll exercise.’
or
‘this year i’m gonna be healthier
meditate.
lose weight…….’
it goes on and on.
how many of those ‘this year…..’s
do we actually commit fully to
and
follow thru with till the end??
how about
for 2016
let’s start
committing to ourselves.
no matter what
show up for yourself.
show up fully and completely.
never abandoning yourself.
never betraying yourself.
always showing up
unconditionally.
not so easy, you say?
when did self love stop being the easiest thing in the world?
have we ever NOT been challenged by this?
the one thing that can truly set us free
is the hardest thing for us to do.
‘that’s selfish,’
you say. or they say.
caring for self has a bad rap.
give only. consider everyone else first.
the real change starts within.
that sounds so cliche
and
it’s true.
in order to see the change
we have to be it.
start listening to the voice within
that says, ‘HELL NO!!! or yes yea!!’
even if that voice sounds a million miles away.
stop
put your hand to your ear
what you are hearing is YOU.
show up.
no matter what.
‘that’s a noise’ grinned the Grinch, ‘that i simply must hear.’
he paused, and the Grinch put a hand to his ear.
