Questions asked.... How do you seem so okay all the time? (from July 27, 2020)

This is from an Instagram post from July 27, 2020. I am going to start adding some of my Instagram posts here into blog posts so they will all be in one easy place to read, and also so they will all be in a spot that is all mine. If you have any thoughts feelings or questions, please leave me a comment and let me know!

I am working on something from one of my coaches and the question was asked, What do people ask me for advice about? And I realized that there is one thing that people ask me quite a bit.

“How do you seem so okay all the time? Like how do you roll with the punches and keep going and seem to really be okay?”

I realized it’s because to me they aren’t punches. They are life and if I look closely, if I look at it differently, there is always something for me to learn in that “punch”, or it’s happening to give me contrast to realize what it is I do want. Or it just happens to get me exactly where I want to be, to where I am supposed to be, I just didn’t know at the time where that was.

We are house hunting right now. Recently, house after house that I consider for our family goes pending the minute I give it serious consideration. I could get frustrated and feel like things just aren’t working out for me. I could say to myself that we are never going to find a house! And believe me, I have had moments of saying and feeling each of these things, because this is how it has been happening:

Day after day as I pull up a house in the Zillow app in my phone to show Tim and as I say to him “you know, I think we should consider this house.” the house is then pending! Sometimes I would just be talking about how we should consider a certain house and as I am speaking, I get a notification on my phone that it’s pending. The next day it would happen again with a different house, and the next day again, and then a few hours later, again. And finally I just started to chuckle when it happened. Like I’m laughing out loud at how unbelievable this is, and how perfect this is happening. And now I am saying THANK YOU. Thank you Universe for making this easy for me. Thank you for crossing that house off of my list without me having to do the work and try and make myself want it. Thank you for delivering to me exactly what is in my highest good and for the highest good of all. Thank you for giving me the ability to trust that it’s all going to work out. Even if I don’t understand it all right now. Even if it makes me cry sometimes. THANK YOU.

I will continue to take inspired action. I will continue to follow the pings if maybe this house, or maybe that house. And eventually one of them will be out next house. And it will happen for the highest good if all, because I am setting that intention, I am trusting, and I am chuckling while saying Thank You!

But don’t worry I am also living this human experience and I still cry and get upset and frustrated. But this way of changing our outlook, our way of thinking, our beliefs around what is happening TO us instead of FOR us.. this is one of the many things I can help you with in coaching.
Love you all 💗
