Everything is a choice
Realize that everything we do is a choice. Take responsibility and own up to the choices you make. If you are in a relationship or a job that is taking more of your free energy than you have to offer, do something about it. Many of us create narratives that we “have to” be someone, something or achieve some arbitrary goal to exist. If you find yourself in a situation that isn’t working, make yourself an exit plan. Know that there is more to life than chronic stress.
A lot of energy takers are sourced from a need for validation. When we need someone to approve of our career, our relationships, our habits. At the end of the day, what will make you happy and give you the energy to truly live?
Only you can set yourself free of the ties that yourself and others have both intentionally and unintentionally set around you.
The thing is, when we get caught up in setting our future selves up for success, we forget how to live. When we reach said arbitrary goal, we have lost much of our authentic connection to ourselves and the world around us. We may have achieved X, but now we don’t know the Y of who we are and why we are here! On the other hand, if we aim to make authentic decisions based on how we feel in the present moment, we harness the power of authenticity and can build a life that we love. This doesn’t mean that we will become lazy and only play around, but rather we will seek out our true passions and set up our lives so that we are living congruently with ourselves. More can be achieved in flow when you are working with your innate talents and interests. Abundance abounds when we allow it to flow freely!
Remember that how you feel in this moment becomes how you feel today. The energy you feel today is what becomes the sentiment of your week. Your weeks become your months, and months become years. Pretty soon the energy that was once “just right now, until I can get there” is the energy that encompasses your life.
What is the energy that you wish to have, right now, in this moment, that you wish to carry throughout your life?
