You are awesome. Innately, wholly and totally, you are an amazing human being. In fact, there is no one on this planet just like you. You have gifts to give to your friends, family, community and the world that no one else can give and you have a special perspective that no one else holds. You are uniquely and completely awesome.
Yet, you forget this divine fact every day.
You may choose thoughts, words and actions that don't adequately shine your brightest light. You may beat up on yourself and/or others for perceived "wrongs." You may forget how awesome you are and get pulled into a not-good-feeling drama.
But that's okay, because in any moment you can choose a new thought, word or action. You can walk away from a not-good-feeling drama and into a new energy that does feel good to you -- just like that. Imagine: out of a drama and into a hot bath with candles, sea salts and a glass of champagne with Sade crooning in the background.
You see, you get to choose. You don't get to choose it all (that wouldn't be fun anyway, and besides the Universe loves to surprise and delight us with more awesome-ness!), but you do get to choose how you feel, how you react and how you frame what is occurring in your life.
And because you get to choose, you have a huge range of options for how to get yourself back into awesome.
Try this out:
Step 1: Not feeling awesome? It isn't like you have to avoid feeling your not-good-feelings, but there is a way you can feel it and let it go so you can be back in awesome-ville sooner rather than later. Identify what you are feeling and let the wisdom of your body guide you. Easy peesy, super great method for doing so here.
Step 2: Ask for love and light to be sent to you. You can ask out loud to your Higher Power, text a close friend, or post on one (or all) of your social media accounts for love and light. Be sure to stay out of the story of the not-awesome feelings. Engaging in a conversation about the drama (big or small) only keeps the drama activated which means you're just bound to feel more of the ish. Avoid that icky pattern by simply requesting love and light and watching as you are transformed through positive support from those around you.
Step 3: Go do something fun. Distract yourself. Dance, go for a walk, create a painting, listen to your favorite, feel-good tunes. Get off the subject of aggravation and not-good-feeling feelings and focus instead on a subject that you have ease and flow around. Watch a funny video clip -- there's a reason why ridiculous animal videos do so well on YouTube -- they are funny and we need to lighten up and laugh! If it's genuinely fun and uplifting for you -- do it. Note: Eating a box of cookies is not having fun. But eating one really yummy cookie is -- so find your balance and honor what feels fun to you in body-mind-spirit.
And then, somewhere between enjoying one delicious snicker doodle and shaking it to Iggy Azalea, you'll remember that you are absolutely, positively, awesome.
Once the return to awesome occurs, you are then realigned with giving the gifts only you can give and having the most stellar life experience that you are meant to have.
And that's pretty awesome.
