Letting go above the Tetons!
Hellooooo, you sparkly pearl!
With everything happening in the world these days, it might feel like life is out of control. A rare few of you might be able to sit serenely in the chaos, trusting the universe has your back. (You must know how to shuck 😉) But for the rest of us, control is the illusion we cling to trying to feel safe.
The truth? Trying to control everything is exhausting and usually ends up keeping you stuck in your shell.
Here are some sneaky ways “control” might be showing up in your life:
- People-pleasing: Are trying to manage how others feel or respond by your actions?
- “Being good”: Is this a not-so-subtle attempt to manipulate situations to your advantage? (No shame; many of us have been there.)
- Self-sabotage: Could fear of your own power be leading you to dim your sparkle?
Here’s the pearl of wisdom: Control is an illusion. The more you try to grip it, the tighter your shell will be. But when you surrender to the uncertainty, lean in to faith, your shell will open allowing more possibilities than you could see from inside your shell.
SHUCK YOURSELF:
- Take five minutes to dig deep into your heart and ask yourself, “What am I trying to control, and why?”
- BONUS: Let it go!
Be sure to send this to any of your friends that may be dimming their light. We all need to shine so the whole world is brighter!!!
Shuck with love,
Jessica
