Being Free to Be You

In July, many of us celebrated freedom in one form or another. We lit fireworks, joined in festive celebrations, floated down streams and rivers, hiked, sailed, windsurfed or simply took time away from normal weekday activities.

The concept of freedom rings loudly with those of you who are passionate about changing your world. I hear and value your stories.

You want to be free of such things as:

People who do not honor your values
Activities that no longer serve the person you’re becoming
Limiting thoughts that prevent you from expanding
Old childhood or adolescent beliefs that no longer hold true
False assumptions
Unreasonably high, self-defeating expectations

You want to be free to:

Be more alive to live each day in a brand new way, allowing surprises and miracles to swirl around you
Create your world, not allowing or expecting others to do this for you
Be authentic. You don’t have to be the person you were yesterday.
Today you can be funnier, more intuitive, more determined to attain your goals.
Dream your dreams without the good opinions of others.
Be your own biggest fan. Imagine what that would open up to you.

We all need to lighten up. No exceptions. Set yourself free from whatever holds you back this week. You’ll never been the same once you experience this sense of independence.

Feel stuck? Remove yourself from normal activities. Surround yourself in nature, or with new activities or people; do something you’ve held yourself back from doing like making that first move. Stand up straight, look in the mirror and see who is looking back. Is it a restricted individual with little control over your life or a more confident, creative, dynamic and decisive individual staring back? Freedom can be yours.

Go out there and live your life to the fullest and enjoy your discoveries!
