Grant Me Peace Helping you Take Back Control of your Life.

I used to sit by the window waiting for clients to show up.

And when they didn't, I'd wonder why they never reached back out.

The funny thing is, I was creating part of the problem.

I didn't charge until after the appointment.

I thought I was being nice. I thought I was making it easier.

Instead, people would no-show, I'd lose the time, and someone who genuinely wanted help couldn't get that appointment.

When I started charging upfront, I felt uncomfortable about it.

I hadn't provided the service yet.

Some clients felt uncomfortable about it too.

Then eventually I stopped finding myself wrong for charging upfront.

And once I stopped finding myself wrong, everybody else stopped finding it weird too.

People take their cues from you.

If you act like something is wrong, they'll start looking for what's wrong with it.

If you act like something is normal, they'll usually accept it as normal.

Makes me wonder how many insecurities work the exact same way.

How many things do we keep teaching other people to question because we're questioning them ourselves?

What are you still finding yourself wrong about?

Feeling like you're never good enough.

We've all been there.

Most people treat insecurity like something that happens to them. Like it's an unavoidable feeling they have to endure.

What if that's wrong?

Insecurity is often a habit.

It's the habit of putting your attention on your perceived flaws. The habit of finding yourself wrong.

The more energy you spend attacking yourself, the less energy you have available for anything else.

Less energy to connect.
Less energy to contribute.
Less energy to see the value in other people.

When you put all your energy into finding yourself wrong, you have no energy left to find anyone else right.

And that's where insecurity becomes a trap.

It pulls your attention inward until you become preoccupied with yourself, your appearance, your mistakes, and how you're being perceived.

The solution isn't more self-criticism.

The solution is breaking the habit.

Start by recognizing insecurity for what it is: a pattern, not an identity.

Then practice interrupting that pattern whenever it appears.

Awareness first. Processing second. Change last.

Most people never stop to ask where their thoughts came from.

They assume every fear, opinion, insecurity, desire, and belief is theirs simply because it showed up in their head.

But if you inherited the thought from a parent, teacher, religion, culture, relationship, social media feed, or a painful experience from 20 years ago... is it really yours?

And if it isn't serving you, why keep carrying it?

Belief is a tool.

You can pick up and let go of beliefs at your disposal.

So the question is, when was the last time you took inventory of your beliefs and cleared out the old ones that no longer work for you?

Highly aware people often become exhausted for one reason:

They confuse awareness with responsibility.

Just because you can see the problem doesn't mean it's yours to solve.

Just because you can predict the consequence doesn't mean it's your job to prevent it.

Awareness is intelligence.

Over-functioning is often just external control wearing a disguise.

Lately I’ve been feeling exhausted.

Because a lot of people have been relying on me for their quality of life.

And somewhere along the way, I caught myself thinking, "I have to do all of this."

Then I remembered something.

I don't have to.

I don't have to do anything.
If I wanted, I could chose to live as a farel dog in the streets, becoming the pack leader of a bunch of crust punk dogs, chasing the neighborhood squirrels.

I get to do all these things.

I get to help.
I get to show up for people I care about.

The responsibilities didn't change, but rather only the meaning I assigned to it.

And somehow that changed everything.

What if you're living in complete paradise, but you can't even see it?

Oftentimes our lives are an accumulation of things we once wanted and things we will miss once gone.

I'll be happy when I get this job, go on vacation, get a partner, get my own place, make this much money, ect.

Yet once we get there, we find that wasn't the answer.

Could it be because you're actually trying to escape paradise?

How many times have you been so eager to go on vacation? And how many times have you felt homesick?

Maybe these undesirable feelings are not a result of your environment, but rather a result of your vantage point.

Maybe you just need a different point of view in order to get the whole picture.

Maybe the storm clouds are only really a storm because you keep watering them with your focus.

And maybe if you just looked around, you'd see you were in paradise this whole time.

People are often only reacting to the story they keep replaying about reality.

One person gets rejected and decides,
“I’m not good enough.”

Another person gets rejected and decides,
“That just wasn’t aligned.”

Same event.
Different meaning.
Different emotional experience.

The mind is always narrating.
Always editing.
Always deciding what something means.

And over time, the narrative you repeat becomes the meaning you live inside of.

It’s funny how people will spend thousands of dollars to sit on a beach and temporarily think smaller thoughts.

Then halfway through the vacation they’re laying in paradise replaying emails and imaginary arguments like the ocean personally offended them.

Which is kind of the problem.

Most people think they need a new environment when really they just never learned how to regulate the mental imagery they carry into every environment.

So the stress follows them everywhere.

Home.
Work.
Vacation.
Relationships.

Different location.
Same nervous system.

I almost got hit by a truck because I forgot trash day existed until the truck was already outside.

Nothing humbles you faster than trying to speedrun domestic responsibilities while a government vehicle watches.

Also interesting how the brain can switch something from “stressful” to “hilarious” the second you stop acting like every inconvenience is a documentary about your downfall.

Another good night for a seminar.

They think they're getting valuable tools to help with their lives.

I think I'm getting paid to talk about my special interest.

Either way, we're all winning here.
