What’s the Deal with Stress?
Filed Under Law of Attraction |
I was noticing this weekend how much stress I hold in my hips and lower back when I think about all the things I believe I have to do. The interesting thing is that I am the one that made up most of the things that I percieve I have to do. So is the solution to change my goals? Or is the solution to have a better perspective? Or both?
Here’s the deal, my friend: If you truly knew how limitless you were, you would not fret one moment about getting things done. You would feel so deserving of bliss that anything that felt like work would be kicked to the curb in an instant. If the purpose of life is joy, that means that it would be most productive to be focused on doing what we love, or figuring out ways to love more of what we are doing.
So what did I do when I felt the pain in my back? I remembered that this life is my current precious life, and I choose not to waste a single moment with tension. I am the one who makes up what I am doing every day. I choose not to follow the shoulds and musts of society, but to follow my own unique heart’s song. If something I am doing feels difficult, that’s because it is not my current heart’s desire, so my job is to take my attention off of it and move to something that feels better. Or at very least, play my favorite music while doing something that is slightly sub-optimal. (It happens sometimes, though not often.)
On the subject of following your bliss, know that you are capable of all the things you dream, but it does not mean that you need to do them all. You are not here to prove anything, or to earn a better seat in Heaven. You are here for the joy of the journey. Will you enjoy the journey of today?
