Thoughtful Thursday & Breaking the Fun Barrier

-


You may be setting an upper limit on having and creating more fun in your life without even realizing it.

We all view the world around us and interact with it in a certain way because of how we see things.

Creating our life experience with our thoughts and beliefs.

Some of the thoughts you have may be beliefs that are FALSE and they are keeping you from living life to the fullest.

In this week's podcast episode I share 7 false beliefs that may be creating a fun barrier for you.

In order to create, experience and express more fun and joy in our lives we must learn to overcome these barriers.

One of the false beliefs that I see people struggle with is the idea that if they have fun then they are being disloyal the people in their life that are struggling. 

The truth is we can't help others by choosing to not have fun.  

Being miserable and not enjoying ourselves does not in any way help someone else that is struggling.  

We are here to add our light to the world.

By adding our light to the world we don't take away from someone else.

We bring more light that we are able to shine on others.

I love this quote from Gay Hendricks' book, The Big Leap.

I have tweaked a little bit.

“Understanding why we’ve limited ourselves liberates a new energy in us, which we can draw on to propel us to new heights of abundance, love...[ creativity, and fun].  As we spiral upward in our quest to express our unique genius, we will likely soar past ghosts and shadows of those old barriers.  For this reason, it’s best to think of our quest as a continuing journey of transcending upper limits.  The payoff for the work is a gift of enduring value: we get to live in the full rainbow of our potential, in our Zone of Genius.  In that exalted space, we enjoy the love, abundance, success, [and fun] we create and our very presence inspires people wherever we go in the world.  We transcend our upper limit problem each time we make more room inside us to feel more love, abundance, [creativity and fun].  It’s done moment by moment.”

Our lives are filled with innumerable moments. 

By practicing new beliefs, we can break through our fun barriers moment by moment.  

How will you use your moments?

Thoughtful Thursday & Divine Identity

-
Image
As humans, we have two identities and they are fighting for our attention. Our false identity is sometimes called our false self, natural man, or ego. We know we are living in our false identity when we are operating from feelings of fear, contention, lack, comparison, isolation, hate, or shame.   All because of what we believe about ourselves and our lives. Beliefs that limit our ability to create a life we love and our influence for good. Our divine identity is something we were all born with. We didn’t and we don’t earn it.   Understanding this truth will set you free.   It will open your heart and your mind. You will know you are living in your divine identity when you are experiencing life from a place of love, humility, gratitude, hope, connection, grace, faith and joy.  Your divine identity is who you truly are. Nothing is wrong with you.   You are not broken.   You are complete and whole. Our Heavenly Parents couldn’t love y...

Thoughtful Thursday & Unplugging

Recently, I was able to unplug for 5 days. It was amazing. Some of my family members and I had the opportunity to go on a guided river trip on the Main Salmon River.  If you have never done a river rafting trip, you may want to consider adding it to your bucket list. Our group, about 24 people, had 6 guides that worked hard so that we could unplug and play hard on the river.   Each day we would float down a section of the river that runs through the bottom of the most incredible canyon.   We floated and ran rapids.   We ate amazing food.  We would stop during the day to have lunch on sandy beaches, hike trails and explore our surroundings.   Each night we would camp along the river’s edge and soak in the breathtaking beauty alongside our new friends.   Unplugging. Living. Connecting.  No cell coverage for 5 days. The only time I pulled out my phone was to take a picture so I can remember the experience. But you know, pictu...

Thoughtful Thursday & You Are Not The Reference Point

-

  Did your parents ever tell you that the world didn't revolve around you? Have you said that to your own children? I have. We all know what I mean when I say that. All things in this world don't revolve around our preferences. Things don't always go our way. Sometimes we have to share or take turns. Other people have different opinions than us. But what I am going to talk about here is different. I really don't believe that most people think that the world revolves around them. But, as humans we are really good at believing that we are the reference point.   This concept is explained really well by Kara Loewentheil. As we learn more about thought work, we come to understand that just because we are having a thought about something doesn't make it true. We begin to question and get curious about our thinking. This is so important to managing our minds. However, Kara teaches that we often don't realize or see that "we are taking our ...
