anxiety has come up quite often in conversation recently. i have a sneaking suspicion that more of us feel moments of anxiety than we care to admit. for some it's severe and even debilitating, for some it's a passing thought.
SHE TAPPED HER CHEST WITH HER FINGERTIPS. "WE ARE BORN WITH EVERYTHING IN HERE: EVERYTHING WE NEED TO BE HAPPY AND COMPLETE. BUT AS SOON AS THINGS START FRIGHTENING US, WE GIVE AWAY PIECES OF OURSELVES TO MAKE THE FEAR GO AWAY. THAT'S THE DEAL: YOU WANT IT TO STOP SCARING YOU, SO YOU GIVE IT A PART OF YOURSELF. YOU GIVE AWAY YOUR PRIDE,YOUR DIGNITY, YOUR COURAGE." -JONATHAN CARROLL
i get it. i feel it first in my belly. like my organs are shifting and then it travels into my ribcage. i don't panic... anymore. for me, it's a sign that i'm not in balance. that i'm over-complicating. over-worrying. over-doing. it's also a sign that i'm moving too fast and skipping over the details to achieve something rather than savor (or suffer) the process.
today i've got that feeling. today it feels like a push to get moving. to honor my word for 2013. create. i'm creating some new projects - creating a new financial plan - creating the space to have choices. and more than that, i'm declaring it here. putting it into history to hold myself accountable. i am creating space for a trip to india, a move to be with the one i love, savings in order to have more than $6.13 in the bank the night before the bills are due and for more dancing. there's space for it all. as long as i create it.
are you honoring your 2013 word still/yet?
