When you are Enough, You are Present

One of my intentions for 2019 is to be fully present, and in order to be fully present I am reminding myself each day that I must release my fear and my idea of perfection.

The fear of not succeeding, the fear of not being good enough or the fear of just not being perfect.

When I took this picture my first thought was what’s wrong with me why can’t I wrap my foot around. Which led to I will never share this picture because the pose is not perfect. Really? Did I really bring myself there. If I am honest the answer is yes. The need to compare to look and feel a certain way based on what?  Who defines this ideal of perfect whether it’s in a specific yoga pose, a job, a lifestyle or our appearance. 

There is always someone better then me doing more than me and there is always someone behind me doing less. Why place myself in a race that will leave me tired, unworthy and feeling like I am not enough. I have to pause and ask myself this often, so it starts to truly sink in. 

When is being enough just enough?

The same logic applies to fear. When we come into situations from a place of fear we are automatically creating a space of contraction rather than of flow. Fear is there to stop us from moving forward, it is the part of the ego that wants to remind us that we are not enough just as we are.

I have spent a majority of my life being fearful of change and transitions and as a result I often try to control all situations. This past year I have learned through time, travel and continuous change that nothing in this life can be fully controlled. We must learn to accept the reality that change is a constant.

Once I fully came to accept change and to release my uncontrollable and unnecessary fears about how my life would or should be like, I came into the present moment. I welcomed my creative voice and was able to find clarity inside my soul.

I share this with you as I have recently launched my own business and fear continues to greet me each and everyday. I am continuously thinking about what I am currently doing and how I could do it differently or how I could be more productive. Then I am reminded nothing is perfect and each day requires you to put one foot in front of the other. To let go of the expectations and to listen. To try and to possibly fail and then try something new without beating yourself up over it.

I intentionally welcome 2019 as a year of release, and full acceptance and most importantly as a year of finally following my soul. My new website and launch of my first workshop in January is just the beginning. My intention in offering financial coaching to yoga teachers, healers and spiritual creatives is to heal your relationship with money so the world can experience your gifts. We all need more healing and acceptance rather than placing our energy on comparing ourselves to someone else.

I welcome you to join me on January 15th or feel free to reach out to connect with any questions or thoughts.

Give yourself the gift of being present and release the fear that is holding you back.

When you give yourself permission to be enough you are able to be fully present!
