When All You Want Is To Just Feel Good.
I remember a time when all I wanted was to just feel good.
I would picture myself in my 80s, sitting in a rocking chair on the porch at my family ranch, feeling the wind blow against my skin and I felt peace.
It was the picture I carried in my heart for so long - my 5, 10, 50 year plan was simple - create peace within.
If you’ve never struggled to feel okay with yourself, you won’t be able to relate to this.
But if you’re like me, with a sense of anxiety gripping much of your life, this will land…
I just wanted to feel okay.
Okay in my skin.
Okay in my relationships.
Okay in my work.
Okay in my body.
I didn’t have a specific way that needed to look on the outside.
I just knew how it would feel on the inside.
I also remember when this felt so far away.
The first time I conjured up this “perfect” moment in my mind, I truly believed it would take all my life to get there.
And by 80, it might finally happen.
But the last few years, I have began to feel it.
That sense of knowing that is quite unshakeable.
A peace that runs deeper than religion, therapy, or even a warm home could ever give me.
A trust in myself that I’ve got my own back no matter what.
That I will get it wrong, that I will make mistakes, that I will let people down, that I might even let myself down.
But I will be okay.
I am okay.
And it didn’t happen from a retreat in the jungle or through an ayahuasca trip.
It happened slowly.
Over time.
From little decisions, like deciding not to shame myself when I make said mistake.
By keeping my boundaries even when it was uncomfortable.
Through facing anxiety and fear and going ahead anyways.
By returning to my breath more times than I can count.
Through finding quiet and stillness even when the world, especially my inner world, felt very loud.
Day by day, moment by moment, with simple choices.
The surprise I have planned to share with the world comes out on Wednesday, November 1st.
It was created to help you in the day to day, moment by moment choices.
To enjoy peace now, not only when you are 80.
To simply feel good in this present moment, even though you might also be facing overwhelm, stress, or fear.
To still know joy, even when the world feels dark.
