Showing up

How do you show up for your life? Do you hide behind a mask of feelings that aren't true/half true or down right a lie of how you are really feeling? As long as you show up to your life with a mask of feelings that aren't REALLY the ones that you are having at that moment you will continue to be stuck.

If you continually deny yourself the right to be in the moment and feel the feelings that you are having as they happen you are denying your true self. But here's the kicker! This does not and should not give you a license to go all crazy on people just because you think that's the 'true' you. Nope, that's not how you should behave either! The key is to find balance between living and feeling the life you are experiencing.

Allow your self the hurt, anger, frustration, depression, joy, elation, daydream, rapture and then release them. A wonderful flow has fantastically begun in my life. I cannot emphasize enough that you do not need validation from ANYONE else to have those feelings. You don't need anyone telling you that YOUR feelings are right or wrong. They are yours to have and understand. By allowing the feelings to come up you can get to the root of the experience. Letting my ego have a chance to be heard has allowed it to subside more easily and quickly. By doing this I am able to be in the now, enjoy my flow in existence and be more present.

We are all one, one energy. I want to share the joy of this and all planes of existence. I hope and strive for one thing and that is to share my light with the world! My light and soul has grown exponentially by letting my ego have a voice and then making it get out of the way.

So how do you show up in for life? Do you allow your ego to always run the show never keeping it in check? Or do you acknowledge it and your feelings and then let them go and step into the flow and light of your life?

Here is a great little book I am reading for more great tidbits on getting out of your own way :-)
