Living a Surrendered Life

I am always surprised at what is available when living a surrendered life.

A week and a half ago I was sitting at home wondering what to do with myself because there was no baseball games to go to or a child to care for. I had a whole week to do whatever I wanted.

The thing about this is, I had no idea what I wanted other than to get out of my house for a bit.

In the middle of the night when I was having a hard time falling asleep, it hit me.

I could go on a trip, but where?

One thing led to another, I checked in with my body to see if it was right for me and I got a yes.

Five (5) days later I am walking around the island of Kauai!

Being able to move when the inspiration strikes is what makes this life interesting and adventurous. I am able to go where I want, when I want for the most part.

Something happens when I surrender. The answers to the questions begin to show up and so do the synchronicities that let me know that I am right where I am meant to be.

It isn't easy at first to live a surrendered life, and often times ego gets in the way. But when it becomes a way of being, it is kind of...well...dreamy.

Travel has become my breath of fresh air. My remote work.

Every time I travel, I go without much of a plan and I see what unfolds. There is magic in this way of walking through life, but it does have its drawbacks.

Like not being available to work a normal 9-5 kind of job. Being okay without the plan. Letting go of expectations. Relying on yourself to receive the guidance, inspiration, energy or whatever and being OK if you don't experience everything possible to experience.

I am slowing down. I am in the moment more. I am letting nature heal my heart. I am allowing the beauty to reveal itself through the challenges and turbulence along the way.

Living a surrendered life in my case, is slowing down, and being okay with my own rhythms and timing.

NOT easy for a control freak perfectionist, trained to get shit done! I like the To-Do list cross off plan of proving I am valuable and worthy by seeing how much I am getting done.

Dopamine addiction...anyone?

To be in this world and creating your best life requires letting go.

I don't mean don't have goals and dreams. I just mean don't cling to them with a death grip. Your soul knows more about your life path than your human mind. Let it lead you and see what magic unfolds as a result.

You might find that it was beyond anything you could have imagined for yourself.
