Day 4 – Saying YES to NOT KNOWING
Several years ago after my major ergonomic consulting contract ended and I was in the beginning stages of “figuring out” what to do next I remember saying to a beloved NLP teacher of mine.
“I don’t know what is going to happen.”
And with a smile she said “Nobody knows what is going to happen.”
That is so true. We can do all the planning in the world and sometimes life just happens. What is the phrase? “We make plans and God Laughs!”
Seven years ago I finally finished my ergonomic ebook, Get Inside Your Comfort Zone that I had been writing and editing for over a year. I sold some copies and then a week later my dear stepmother passed away and then one thing after another happened and I never got back to the marketing of the book. I just lost interest.
Then I did an entire month of interviews with experts to help people get comfortable and out of pain. I wrote press releases and articles and had a lot of fun and nothing substantial changed in my business.
I tried everything in the world to turn the business around and nothing seemed to be working. It appeared that there was something else for me to do in the world but I had no idea what.
I was not ok with not knowing. I thought I had to know … otherwise I was not being responsible I thought. That was the conditioning. If something is not working I must be doing something wrong. Yes of course and then that gives me something to beat myself up about. OK. Done with that kind of thinking!
Right now I would like to know a lot of things that I don’t know. But I am ok with not knowing. Ok maybe not fully ok with it but that is something I get to surrender to. And trust. And surrendering to trust is way more powerful than most ways of being in the world!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!!!! <3
Moving, Releasing and Launching
The past 60 days have brought much clarity to me. Eating a mainly raw and vegan diet for 30 days and cutting out cheese really helped to release the necessary brain-fog so that I could obtain this new direction in my life.
The biggest news I have to report is that I am selling my house! Letting go and surrendering is moving me forward. I have no idea where I will be moving at the present time. I am going with the flow and staying focused in the present moment in the best way I can. I am clearing out my house of a lifetime of “stuff” that has just been sitting around in closets, cabinets and on shelves. Plus I am letting go of inventory from my ergonomic business that I sold in 2008.
It feels so good to release all of these items that have no more space in my life. Releasing the clutter is good Feng Shui and it is clearing my mind. The process of clearing has guided me to things I misplaced. Unexpected pockets of money have opened up in various areas directly related to moving things out.
Some years back I bought a food dehydrator and then misplaced it. I searched for it for years and finally bought a new one this past spring. Well I found the old one and was able to return it to Bed, Bath and Beyond and will now be applying that credit towards my Ninja blender since my 30 year old Osterizer blender broke recently! Ya’ gotta love the timing on that!!
So many fun stories like this.
A big physical move such as this really gets things moving! Nothing can stay the same. I welcome and embrace this adventure that is not for the faint of heart. Some people look at me and cannot believe I do not have a place to move yet. Things are falling into place in perfect divine timing. I know this in my heart!
Looking forward to two separate launches in the coming week and I am in the process of creating the artwork for both!
love
Wendy
PS. My house is the launch pad for my new life and I am excited!
