Our ability to heal, and self regulate back to CHOICE, and choose an empowering, optimistic, and courageous perspective lies our power and our potential.

 

 

BEFRIENDING OUR STRESS RESPONSES as a path towards

MORE TRUTH, EXPRESSION, & POSSIBILITY.

 

 

One of the main reasons we get stuck in life, is we compare ourselves to the world around us, and EXPECT we are supposed to be somewhere other than where we are.

This comparison trap stops us in our tracks before we even give ourselves the chance to try. 

 

It sounds like;

"She's already done that business opportunity."

"He's more capable, bullish, and determined than I could ever be."

"My friend has already taken that identity, I can't copy that."

"It's already been figured out. That idea has already been taken."

"There's somewhere out there smarter, more strategic, faster."

 

"I am not innovative, or creative enough."

"I am not beautiful, energetic, or bold enough."

"I am not disciplined enough to follow through."

"I am just not meant for more."

 

This is EXACTLY how the self protective ego, looks outward to find comparisons, or "reasons" to keep us small, and keep us stuck.

 

I am going to offer a TRANSFORMATIVE INVITATION..

This was never about anyone but YOU.

 

Here is a New Offer:

Step into your own Conscious Curriculum.

Allow yourself to enter into Earth school.

A self guided, and self paced relationship with YOU and the teacher (Life).

Imagine we are all placed on this unique planet within the vast cosmos to walk our unique Soul Path of self discovery. 

Allow this to be your own Evolutionary journey of self growth.

 

No one will ever walk in your shoes.

No one started where you started. No one will finish in the place you were meant to finish.

This is your Journey.

So I am sharing an invitation, and permission to make this experience about YOU, and follow the exact path you were meant to walk and overcome.

 

In doing so..

We become a STUDENT, a beginners mind, a self learner again.

With patience, compassion, self curiosity, and courage to try experimenting with something new..

 

We give ourselves permission to listen to our life.

 

What Challenge, Obstacle, Adversity, is life calling me to face as my teacher?

What Desire, Longing, or Creative project have I been putting off out of my internal stories?

 

Every experience of STRESS (In mind, body, and behaviour), becomes a teacher, and an opportunity to learn how our unique nervous system is contracting us from experiencing more of our TRUTH, EXPRESSION and POSSIBILITY.

 

BEFRIENDING OUR STRESS RESPONSES as a path towards

MORE TRUTH, EXPRESSION, & POSSIBILITY.

 

Over the next few weeks following along the Stress Resilience Series, I am inviting you to keep this concept of Earth School at the forefront. 

 

In learning about how STRESS (In other words our sympathetic Stress response, or our FEAR Response), is showing up in our life.

We invite it in on our soul journey, to learn how we can relate to it in new and more empowering ways.

 

This is CHOICE to take responsibility for our life, and use our time on earth to learn 

 

Over time, increasing our skills of Self Regulation and intrinsic safety. (The Capacity to hold more of the full range of emotions, and human experience).

Re establishing a connection to our Sacred NO. 

Finding the courage to step more fully into our Sacred YES.

Simultaneously increasing our Stress Resilience to try on, and stay with new, more exciting and purpose led endeavours.

 

Stay tuned for the upcoming releases on finding Stress Resilience!

 


 

May your week be filled with Choice.

 

In Spirit,

Greg
