“It’s Available.”

So often, it’s easy to focus on our lives with “not-enough” mind. We quickly see how we don’t have enough time, money, understanding, passion, meaningful conversation, patience, health, teamwork. Everywhere we look, we can find problems to solve and things to overcome. We can even apply this way of seeing to being “aware” “mindful” “healthy” “growth oriented.”

This mindset is helpful when its used in small doses, and inspires or motivates us ahead. All too often, It can spread and creep over everything we experience, narrowing our presence and burdening our perspectives.

These last few weeks, I’ve struggled against myself, feeling that I was behind a lot. I noticed that I had “could have” or “should have” brain too much, and it dominated my conversations. I should have hired out an assistant to make program handouts, I could have said no, I should have had more fun, I could have gotten more sleep.

Honestly, once this brain wave takes over, it requires repetitive force to overcome. The best way to do it is together.

We know that there’s another way, which pays attention to what’s present and good. This way steps into the flow of what is, and rests there, embraces there, becomes more free there.

During a Letter Code workshop, one powerful participant bravely called out “It’s Available” when I asked “what do you believe about love?”

It’s a pretty amazing moment when you free yourself from the struggle between your demanding ideals, and the reality of what is.

What if you saw that everything your heart truly wanted was available to you?

What difference would that make?

Yes. It is Available. This is my mantra in this month. And such a short phrase gives me the empowering energy to step into a bigger truth. It calls me to operate from a place of a wise heart, rather than react from a place anger, fear or despair.
Thank you, loved ones, for cheerleading me to see bolder, bigger, bad-asser.

Excited to share here a handful of conversations that aim to do the same for you.
