Freedom and power

I have been rocking out to George Michael lately - listening to Freedom encourages me to reflect on the power of my courage. It transports me to a place in my body and mind where I am the one that makes choices, the one that stands proud. I imagine it’s what a butterfly feels as it sheds its cocoon and stretches out her wings for the first time. Ohh, this is what being me feels like. 

For me, taking back my power is recognizing that I am supported, I am resourceful and capable all at once. In facing an obstacle for the second, third, or 100th time - I have the opportunity to pause and recognize where I am and deliberately choose how to show up this time around. If and when I have the awareness to pause, I am making new pathways in my brain that allow my eyes and heart to remain open to possibility

If we are living with false beliefs that keep us tied down, we get to choose differently. We get to decide what lies to let go of and what truths we are willing to courageously own up to.

“All we have to do now is take these lies and make them true” - George Michael.
