This post is obviously a little different than most things you see on here. I have had a breakthrough with my anxiety lately, and that's because of a phrase that I (interestingly enough) heard in my coaching program: being "detached from the outcome". It was said in terms of being a coach, but it resonated with me because I needed to hear it that day. So often, we make ourselves kind of insane by analyzing (and over-analyzing!) everything. That behavior caused paralyzing anxiety in me, to the point that I couldn't make small decisions because I was so afraid of the unknown - and even known - consequences. I will be really honest with you - I have never gone for anything like I have with my coaching career. There are several reasons for that: coaching lights me up, I realized a passion that I could turn into a career, and I am continually motivated by people like you, who tell me that what I am putting out there resonates. That being said, I have had my share of paralysis about it, and somehow I have managed to push through, I think because I truly do feel that this is my purpose. I heard about the outcome detachment in a moment of paralysis, and it was so freeing to know that I could just do the thing, and ENJOY it, and not have to worry about things that - spoiler alert! - were 1000% outside of my control! Since then, I have been focusing a ton of energy on staying present, embracing and enjoying the now, and moving through any fear or anxiety I may have. It has done wonders for my mindset, my health, and my self-care. I put together this little meditation to share with you so that you can also focus energy on being present. I hope that you can use it! Remember, take your time with this. Let yourself FEEL it, don't rush it, and really sit in the light for a while. I can't wait to hear what you think, and the results you see from it.
