How do you resist accepting that your life is awesome?

My Ways of Self-Sabotage
My ways of Self-Sabotage.

I can see that you have created your dream life and I have a lot of respect for that.

A few hours ago a beautiful woman in her mid 50`s who attended my retreat shared this feedback with me. She praised the space I held and my transmission big time on top of it.
I was very touched by this comment.

I do hear that quite often from people who are in their 20s or 30s, probably because living in Bali and having a well-established career seems very dreamy to them. I get that and I am grateful that I can inspire them.

Occasionally though, I observe that they don't really conceive the focus, clarity, and perseverance it takes. Especially the manifestation trends nowadays can easily create the misperception that things magically happen without you staying on the ball.

πŸ‘‰ Yes, there is definitely a reframing required around doing and being.

πŸ‘‰ Yes, limiting beliefs are to be dismantled.

πŸ‘‰ Yes, things don't need to take forever to come to fruition.

However; there are certain ingredients we need to put into the dish to make it taste fantastic.✨

This lady knew what it took. This comment is from her wise place. Therefore it landed very differently in me.

Not surprisingly, it arrived when I was contemplating my resistance to speak highly of my life in public. There are so many mixed emotions causing this resistance:

➑️ Superstitions around jinxing (yep, I gotta deal with those)
➑️ Feeling more control when telling stories in hindsight. (Though I recently became aware that my temperament quickly moves on to the next chapter instead of telling good stories in retrospect. A conundrum!)
➑️ Being concerned about appearing unrelatable and ignorant of the suffering in the world.
➑️ Knowing that nothing is perfect and that there are many areas in my life that are still work in progress I am sure I can come up with more but as you can see none of them make great sense and all of them are related to control, which is an illusion anyhow. πŸ’« In short; Thank you darling Sallyanne. Much appreciated! πŸ™

I wonder what are your ways to accept how awesome your life is; even to yourself? Share in comments! πŸ’¬
