Ask this big question to find Instant balance and happiness! Yes I said Instant! I love instant! I mean really who doesn't? Now this does not mean all your problems will be instantly solved. Action is always necessary.However, this one question has the ability to create a knowledge of our truest truth. That truth always has the magic to transform confusion and misery into an ahah moment of wonder. Instantly we become lighter and a little smile creeps into the corners of our frown.
Ok, I know some of you are ready to scream at the screen right now. What's The BIG Question? This is it.... Is this draining me or is this enriching me? We can ask this of food, friends, work, exercise, our spouse, our family. If you don't get an immediate answer chances are it's draining you. Here is the instant part. When you ask the question and it's enhancing your well being and life, your face will light up, excitement and joy will flow through you like the slow and consistent warmth of the sun. You will feel energized! This one question gives you the power to hold on to what fuels you.
When the answer is that you are being drained you have two choices. Remove it from your life or adjust something about the situation so there is balance. For example our work can be draining but we may find value and fulfillment in certain aspects. Is it draining because we need to create some boundaries and put in less overtime? Do we need to ask for more assistance or recognition? Are we feeling resentful because we have yet to use our vacation days? These are all examples of adjustments that we have the power to make. Once we realize that we can make that choice we will feel empowered, balanced and happier.
There are situations where the adjustment is the bigger answer of removing what is draining the light, joy and love from our life. Particularly if this involves an abusive or toxic relationship with a boss, spouse, family member or "friend" In these instances we can only choose to go and we must go in peace.
These two options involve one action. The magnitude of these two short small words are life altering. LET GO! If we are unable to release what we clasp so tightly our hands have no room to hold on to what is fulfilling or grasp what we know we need.
What will you Let GO of this week so that you can grasp your truest truth and experience a fueled life? Sharing our Journey begins in the comments!
Journey on my Ramblers!
