Its wild how difficult it can be to stay on track with your heart. And how easy it is to get pulled away from your path & shoved into the standard, droll way of living. I know. Ive been there. Im there right now. I often find my mind chatting on about things I should be doing (getting a 9-5 job, re-enrolling in school because all of my old classmates are now smiling graduates, picking up old services to make money, even though they totally killed my Spirit, etc). My thoughts try to send me into a panic; to scatter my dreams and passions for fear of them never working out. Living a heart-centered, passion filled life isnt always an easy business when you constantly have your mind tugging you down into darkness. But luckily, with a bit of mindfulness, you can open up & crowd out those thoughts of should and what if and I cant. Ive realized that the first step in beating this cycle is to realize that youre in it to begin with. To pause. Take a breath. Recognize that the present moment is here, now, and nowhere else. Remember what you love doing - writing, for example, or being a mother, or painting, or teaching - and then say it out loud: I am a(n) _____! Remind yourself that you are whole, just as you are. Keep this declaration humming about in your heart. Hold it close. Write it on post-its and chalk boards and say it as a mantra with your heart beat. My God, tattoo it on your wrist if you need to! The would doesnt need any more should-ers. The world needs passionate, wild, excited souls - and youre one of them, only so long as youre living from the heart. xo
