You Get To Be Loving AND Happy

I used to think that being a good person, or a spiritual person, meant I had to be serious or peaceful all the time!
I spent years along my healing journey exploring a variety of spiritual traditions, mindfulness, and meditation…
And for a time, I believed to be the best version of me, I needed to “just be loving” all the time, no matter what. I believed in unconditional love; and so many traditions taught to just “be love.”
So I thought, for a time, that I just needed to let go of any other part of me and just feel love - although, frankly, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant in every situation.
My mind had a ton of ideas it liked to tell me about it what it meant to be a “loving person!” For example: ‘no, don’t be angry - be loving.’ Or, ‘don’t get too wrapped up in external things, just be loving.’ And even, ‘being loving means not having extreme emotions - so don’t get too excited, don’t be too passionate - that isn’t love!’
Ha! Looking back now, it makes me laugh! I genuinely thought that is what love was - yet now, I know it is so. Much. More!
LOVE IS JOY.
LOVE IS BLISS.
LOVE IS ENTHUSIASM!
LOVE IS ADVENTURE.
LOVE IS PLAY!!!
In sum,
LOVE IS EVERYTHING THAT FEELS GOOD.
:)
What really changed my life is when I began to work with mentors and coaches who taught me that, in fact, JOY was the language of my soul!!!
What pulled me forward, in joy, in desire, in utter enthusiasm & aliveness for life -
THIS WAS LOVE!!!!!
THIS WAS ME.
THIS WAS MY TRUE ESSENCE!!!
What expanded me, what lit me up, what gave me energy & fire from within -
THIS WAS MY TRUEST EXPRESSION.
And by - finally - following this - following JOY -
I was able to discover & allow forth
MY TRUEST SELF.
So many of us were conditioned by society to reside in feelings of sadness, sorrow, pain, suffering, and even anger.
A lot of this even subconsciously!
Before I worked with these mentors, I had already done so. Much. Work. On myself!
So much healing. So much growing. So much transformation!
Yet, frustratingly, I STILL WASN’T HAPPY.
I WASN’T CONTENT.
I FELT, TRUTHFULLY, TRAPPED & MISERABLE…
It may sound silly, but rewiring my brain & body to JOY & EXCITEMENT & HOPE FOR THE FUTURE was an incredibly challenging part along my path to where I am today.
I needed a LOT of support from mentors.
And now, the bliss of residing in such palpable JOY, LIGHT, ALIVENESS & EXCITEMENT FOR LIFE has me almost daily catching myself in moments of utter awe - gratitude - immense awe.
To know where I was, what I lived, what I felt a decade ago - feeling like I was drowning in immense, all-consuming anguish from childhood trauma, not knowing if I could get through another day.
To know where I am now - in bliss. In love for life. In so much gratitude for my day-to-day experience…
The journey from thinking that love was seriousness & apathy to experiencing love as JOY. PASSION. RADIANT EXPRESSION -
This is one of the most precious transformations I have experienced along my journey…
And I know, as a result, that I am a much more loving, peaceful, and kind person. Because it is. ALL. LOVE.
Precious being, you get to be loving AND happy.
You get to be peaceful AND silly.
You get to be spiritual (if you want) AND brilliantly expressed!!!
It would be an incredible joy for me to guide you to experience the FULLNESS of the love that you are on a whole. New. Level.
