Ready. Ready to be ready. Im sitting in my car before an exciting meeting to spread my #wavespiration photography love throughout the corporate world. I realize how much ease i feel now. And how proud i feel to finally be in a place of ease. like, authentic ease. (btw good work, Jolyn, it’s been one helluva journey). And i also appreciate the journey in a new way, which has me appreciate now and every moment, which are all fragments of journeys AND whole journeys in and of themselves. i also appreciate where ive been. I can only know this ease in contrast to the undercurrent of anxiety, worry and fight or flight mode i’d operated with throughout my life. Until i took responsibility. It wasn’t “the world” making me anything, it was me creating a world to react to based on my habitual feelings of some version of anxiety and worry. Often we believe that we need to get something or do something in order to feel a certain way. and THEN we can feel complete, better, happy, content, fulfilled, grateful, accomplished. Which is a hamster wheel of nonsense, if you haven’t noticed yet. What if we started with the end goal (way of being) and then acted from there? What would life be like to start with what we can control, our thoughts and feelings instead of looking to the world to change so we can feel better? This may sound super ideal and if so i get it. So many years ago i would be rolling my eyes at me now. But i’m going to say it again and anyway, living life from the way of being FIRST and exploring alternative paradigms of “how life goes” is just so juicy, so fulfilling and so worth it. You are worth it. ✨ #readytobeready #morningmusings #hellolife #somerandommusicisplaying
