Life, Love & Limiting Beliefs

 

“Breaking leads to opening. Opening allows expansion.  Expansion creates more space.  Space lets growth in.  Lean into the break, the feeling, the uneasiness of it all.  Goodness awaits you.”

Recently I had to do some more breaking. I was holding onto limiting beliefs I didn’t even know I had!

It was through a conversation with a friend and some other unexpected experiences that made me stare those ugly fellas right in the face.  You know the kind you’re like holy moly those exist still…in me!  I teach on limiting beliefs in relationships and I still have those suckers! What?!?

It was scary, I wanted to retreat back into my comfort zone but I knew that if I did love would not win. Freedom would have been lost. Pure bliss and what I’ve been seeking would have been put on hold again.

It’s in the discomfort, the breaking apart that freedom is found. It’s where happiness is expanded and our purpose prevails.  If we don’t accept, feel and recognize the pain and the cracks in our soul we bury them instead of healing them.  It’s in this moment we have 2 choices to make – Do we let this crack continue to break us? Or do we let the light in and fill the crack with beautiful things?

If we let the crack continue to slowly expand while blocking the light it becomes filled with more dirt, larger holes and more pain.  We never fully experience beauty and freedom in this place.  If we start to clean the break out and let more and more light shine in we can create something absolutely beautiful.  We can turn our pain into passion, our hurts into happiness and the past into purpose.

I love how the universe shows us where we need to go, what we need to work on and gives us beautiful sprinkles of what can be if we just do the work to get there.  Life is meant to be absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and enjoyed to the fullest.

What are you holding back today? What do you need to break free from to let the light in?

Make the conscious choice to break free from limiting beliefs, behaviors and relationships. And do the damn work to get there.

Let me know how it goes in the comments below.

Don’t Social Media Stalk

Don’t Social Media Stalk

I felt like I had to put this out there because I don’t know how many times someone saw my online dating profile and then searched for my social media pages.  I think it’s totally okay to check out someone’s social media accounts, it gives an extra glimpse into who they are. However, I highly recommend not to message them on the online dating site and then on all their social media accounts and then message them again when they don’t respond… Yes I’ve had that happen on several occasions.  It looks creepy and gives out the wrong vibe.  I even had a couple guys get mad at me for not responding to them after I obviously didn’t swipe right on Tinder.  I’m like “I don’t even know you!”

So when it comes to online dating don’t cyber stalk.  If someone doesn’t respond to your first or second message or your right swipe don’t track them down on social media.  Cyber stalking looks desperate, is creepy and will not win you a date.  However it might win you a restraining order.  If you’re not getting a response from one person just move on to the next.  You’ll connect with the right person.  You can’t force a connection that’s not there.  Also keep yourself safe from cyber stalking.  If you have an erry feeling about someone delete them and don’t respond.

Also resist the urge to social media stalk someone new that you’re dating.  Why are you checking up on someone that you’re newly dating?  It’s easy to take things that you see on social media and over analyze what’s actually going on.  I’ve seen many people cause unnecessary drama in a new relationship over something they saw on social media.  Get to know someone for who they are not for what you see online.  Unless of course their social media is filled with pictures of them and their spouse or any other major red flags! Then you know just to run in the opposite direction.  Otherwise if they seem quite normal then let social media go for a while and get to know them.
