What really inspires us to do what we do?
What really inspires us to deepen our connections with people, do great work, explore our potentials, enjoy a healthy bodymind, have fun, travel, create nourishing home spaces....?
And what is it about doing these things that is even more important to us?
To FEEL good. To FEEL better than good - Happy. Amazing. Blissful. Inspired. Creative, Accomplished. Connected. Loving. Loved....
Our energy drives our behaviour. Always.
Feelings are the language of our bodies and the way we connect with our soul.
Feelings are how our soul communicates with us.
We are always trying to connect with our soul.
Our soul is always trying to communicate with us.
We think we need to do things first so we can get to our desired feelings.
When we feel the way we desire, we are in the being of it. For those moments.
We feel love in all its forms. Happy. Blissful. Connected. Creative. Talented. Confident. Gorgeous. Relaxed. Ingenious. Inspired. Motivated. Sexy. Generous. Collaborative. Clear. Energized. Grateful. Fulfilled...
And then the feeling dissolves.
We do the thing again. We get a beautiful feeling. The feeling dissolves.
We do something else. We get another beautiful feeling. The feeling dissolves.
We think they dissolve because we attach their existence to an external event in time and when the doing in the event is over, we think the feeling is over and we have to do something to find it again.
We tell ourselves that when we make the money, get the relationship, the house, the vacation... then we’ll feel how we want. Until then, it’s a game of strive on.
When we experience our life DOING things in order to FEEL.
We spend a lot more of time waiting or thinking about what to do to feel good, than actually feeling good.
That strategy is stressful.
That strategy is backwards.
Here’s the thing: Our feelings are energetic blueprints in our bodymind and they’re our own natural resource. We can reframe things till the cows come home but if we stay in our head— no meaningful lasting changes happen on: cellular, neurochemical, brain rewiring, visceral, empathic, heart, or vibrational levels.
No true transformation happens.
You know this great Rumi quoteè “Let the beauty we love be what we do.”
I believe the beauty in what we love is how we feel, and when we feel On Our Game — in The Zone — in Flow — we feel our Peace and Power— Blissfully Alive.
Flow states have energetic blueprints too. They’re actually classified as a category of Ecstatic States, which are types of Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness [1].
Flow States naturally take us into our highest highs, those transcendent experiences that make life worth living. When we’re in them, our vibration goes through the roof. When we experience them frequently, regularly, almost always—we set ourselves up to operate on higher frequencies in between them—to continually lean more into flow consciousness and its limitless reality. Because Flow States rewire our bodymind to function in the realms of our highest potentials and possibilities—unlike anything else!
So no matter how ambitious or empathic world changer you are, nothing extraordinary can happen...
unless you KNOW HOW TO GO ALL IN to the actions you take
Unless your HEART IS ALL IN with your attention and intention
Unless you absolutely FEEL LIKE IT. Period.
If you don’t really feel like doing something and you do it anyway—you’ll get a mediocre result from a mediocre effort—and who wants to waste time or energy with that?
Your Vibration Matters.
Your Flowfillment Matters.
May you always be exploring your extraordinary!
