There is something so freeing about letting go and surrendering to what is.
We spend so much time thinking, holding on, wanting to change things.
Living for the future or clinging to the past like our life depended on it.
We take every breath with a tightness in our chest. Anxiety over what we have to get done, where we’re going, where we want to be.
Our mind tricks us to judge ourselves in the mirror. To think we are not good enough. It tricks us to be our own worst critic, to cling to every negative thought someone has had about us. To live in worry and fear.
We’re taught to change ourselves to fit other people’s perspectives of who we should be. What we should do for work. Who we should marry. How many children we should have. What our bodies should look like.
What if we just let go? Surrender?
What if instead of tearing ourselves down we become our own biggest cheerleaders?
How freeing would it be to look in the mirror and see a person you adore, fully, every wrinkle and every white hair. Every pound.
What if we free ourselves from thinking all of the time, tiring our minds with unnecessary burdens that either haven’t happened yet or don’t exist anymore?
What if we savored every second of the present? And truly lived every moment. Felt every breath. Listening to our bodies. Held only our current emotions and solved every problem as it presented itself.
What would happened if we each believed in our potential to be anyone we want to be?
How nice would it be to wake up, take care of our bodies, live truly in the moment? See the butterflies flutter by. Feel the sun on our faces, the air as it touches everything around us.
What if we LOVED ourselves? For every amazing part of us and every single “flaw”.
How would we feel if we knew that what makes us different makes us extraordinary?
It’s our choice. We are in control, fully and completely, of our minds.
I choose freedom, I choose love, I choose to surrender. ❤️
