A recent journey towards simplicity

Over the past five or six months I have been on quite an emotional journey. I employed my own coach and together we explored a whole range of my emotions.

We delved into the deepest darkest places and it brought up a million different things; happiness, sadness, anxiety, rage, frustration, self- judgement, playing small, fear, elation, empowerment, self belief, power, worries. And through all of this, messy, explorative, exciting ‘facing of reality’ I have come to a real place of peace. I have realised that life, in fact, is not complicated, it’s only as complicated as I make it. I realise that often through my life I have fixated on the negative, whereas my life is so whole, so nourished, I am loved and I get to love people, I can run and dance and sing and I can make choices. I have choice over my future. I have nothing to worry about, despite my own self-sabotaging attempts to tell myself I do.

When I approach the world from this place of simplicity, I am so much happier for other people and the choices they have made. I now don’t compare myself to other people I just say ‘they made that choice, good for them.’ And I allow myself to enjoy the now, to know that ‘worrying solves nothing’, I will get to where I need to go, and I know that I’m resourceful enough to find a path there regardless of what challenges come my way.
