My word of the month, and I may make it my word of forever because I like it so much, is delightful.
I mean, I like bliss too but sometimes bliss can seem a little out there for some of us. Right? Not that we won’t get there, we absolutely will if we let ourselves, so don’t stop striving for your bliss.
When I’m experiencing something that fills my heart with goodness, makes my body strong, and puts a big smile on my face, I see those things as delightful and I just can’t get enough.
Like taking a long, hot shower. Grounding, clearing and letting my muscles relax. I could stay there forever, or at least until someone turns on the water somewhere else in the house and burns my behind. 😂 Such is life in a house under renovation.
My point is that we can make delightful choices that serve us, we just need to ask for what we want. The shower example is easy, everyone wants to be clean, but we all know there are more difficult things we may want as part of our lives that are harder to ask for or even admit to ourselves that we need.
This is about purpose. Your purpose. How can you be or do what you’re on this planet for, if you can’t express it? And if when you try to express it, you hit a brick wall that says don’t go there.
Think about those relationships that are tough to be yourself in. Maybe you’ve tried to say what you need to say to the other person but it hasn’t been received or you didn’t get the outcome you were expecting.
Remember. You get to be kind. You get to be loving. You also get to be done.
Maybe they didn’t listen, maybe they didn’t understand, or maybe they didn’t want to understand. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter what they did or continue to do, it’s up to us to express ourselves clearly so we walk away with our heads held high, feeling good about how we’ve shown up, stood up, and spoken up, while bringing our courage, confidence and clarity to the exchange.
Spoiler alert! Know that you don’t need to continue having the same kind of relationship with that person, right? You don’t need to stay silent or hushed when you have shit to say. F**k off, if that is where you’re at, can be said with compassion!
