Tuning in & Surrendering to the Flow: Life Lately

A conversation with 2 female entrepreneurs, and the lessons I continue to learn.

I think one of the funniest traits that remains in the evolved human brain is our incessant need to have everything be perfect.

It’s so bothersome because it makes no sense considering there was no point in known human history where existence was perfect.

Of course, depending on what inception story you believe in, that’s not necessarily true. There was some moment at the beginning of time where purity and sanctity collided and we are told stories about mystical trees and forbidden or creatures of the ocean evolved out of gills to feet and hands.

Regardless of the semantics I think whatever that brief moment was, left us with the innate need to feel completely, safe, whole, one, abundant, in control, and without fear.

The worst part about the human brain has to be the adaptation of synapses that exist when our neurons fire and wire together. In other words, once you have one negative thought it’s simple, it’s scientific evolution, that allows that thought to then bounce off of a network of similar thoughts and next thing you know even though all you were thinking about was guilt towards a particular situation, now you are also thinking about that one person who gives you anxiety, or that time you embarrassed yourself at work.

So how do you combat science, how do you exist without allowing these cycles to break you down? How can you be a light in our earthbound smoking chaos.

Create, share, love, connect, and expand.

“Anything created with the intention of love, will be successful.”

I have found myself at another universal lesson, (I almost used the word crossroads here but, I am aware of negative verbiage), and this lesson reminded me of something I had written in my notes that I had heard on a podcast earlier.

“You need to ASK the universe/divine for what you desire. It is a co-creative endeavor. Sometimes, we confuse vehicles with purpose, and they are distinct things. Your identity is not the vehicle. Do not get attached to your vehicle. There are no wrong turns in life, something that is meant for you will be brought back around for you over and over again until you choose it. There are no ‘I should’ve done that, why did I do this…the path can be torturous but the result glorious.”

I would often confuse a person or an opportunity with my purpose. I would stop pushing as I got comfortable in the opportunity. It is easy to get comfortable, because we crave constant comfortability like I detailed earlier. However, this does not mean that the opposite needs to be true, it does not mean we need to be stuck in UN-comfortability.

Rather, it is about having the awareness that as long as you are working and striving with positive, loving intent, you are living your purpose.

What I can tell you for certain along this entrepreneurial journey is in-authenticity can kill your soul and your intent.  

I found myself stuck in the loop of competition with other wellness/nutrition creators. I realized I lost my purpose, which was actually different from theirs. However, because I lost my intent briefly, my identity got entangled with the past version of myself that was primarily driven by the ego.

While in this personal dilemma, I am also about to lose my stream of income that allowed me to pursue my business. Naturally, you feel panic, the loss of control I talked about before, because us humans strive for that feeling of safety and comfort.

Luckily, because of the tools I had developed overtime, I was able to ease myself out of the funk and return back to myself with the help of being in tune and open to receiving information from nature, our original home that reflects the opposite of all those uncomfortable, negative emotions.

A photographer I had worked with before as a model, reached out to me to be a fit model his new swimsuit collection. His wife, is an energy healer, life coach, and overall well-rounded, kind human being.

She owns her own small life coaching business, and the other model who was there with us, owned her own vegan bakery.

So, there we were, three entrepreneurial women listening to each other, helping and guiding, and speaking truths about being your OWN vehicle guiding yourself through your purpose.

I think the worst parts about negative emotion and self-talk is it’s isolating and selfish. We start believing life is so hard for ourselves, everything bad happens to us…but once we welcome community, its not about connecting over negative thoughts, but about reaffirming the positive ones of capability, strength, and determination.

I leave, come back, leave again, come back again to my identity and purpose. I falter, wrong, struggle, and make mistakes. However, I have cultivated an awareness of all of it, and it is through that awareness that I am able to trip and fall but get back up again.

The two ladies reminded me, and I am here to continue to deliver the message that we are all divinely guided, held, and loved. If your intent is to provide that for others too, through whatever modality you choose, how could you be anything but successful.

For the lovers of music, a mix I found that brought me inspiration and made me feel filled with creativity and love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZH9U1efx1c
