We do love to complicate things.
Relationships
Business
Work
Social media
It’s not actually that tricky, we just get in our own way.
What has worked in the past – for YOU?
When were you most consistent?
What were the conditions?
How much time did you set aside for yourself?
Important question – When did you say ‘No’ to others and ‘Yes’ to yourself? This is where most people fall down.
Last night, I found myself briefly reflecting on my relationship with my ex and, the truth is, my instincts were correct that I should have parted ways with him far sooner but I ignored my intuition.
We ‘know’, we just don’t act on it.
Figure out what’s worked. Do that.
I’ve found myself wondering why I haven’t been writing lately, in the regular way I used to. It was because I pushed it down the schedule of my normal morning routine. Now here I am writing fresh in the morning and I’m thinking to myself ‘why did I abandon this practice?’ We’re a complex mix of, often, contradictory urges. Sometimes the destructive ones win.
For a little while, I’ve been focusing on ‘letting go’ but actually I’ve let go of that now. Things are as they are, it’s a radically simple mentality but it will free you to get on with what you need and want to do.
What’s worked? Simple. You know what’s worked. Do more of that and the rest will likely sort itself out – and if it doesn’t, that’s when you ask for help.
