In the current hustle culture, it is easy to get swept up in trying to prove how hard you’ve worked by suffering and sacrifice.
As if it’s wrong to create from more ease.
This idea of sacrificing one thing to get another is very ingrained into society and you may feel wrong or bad not living that way when you see many friends and family pushing, proving, and struggling.
Perhaps you have the very common fear of not wanting to stand out.
You may think if you're happier and have more ease people will notice and resent you for it.
Perhaps people were envious, spiteful, or jealous in the past.
If so, those experiences likely caused you to expect more of the same.
You likely started to shrink and hide as a protective mechanism. Or you became overly defensive knowing that people were going to have an attitude towards you at some point so you better toughen up!
But, keep in mind those things happened to an old version of you.
You don't have to keep thinking and expecting the same things out of people.
Trust yourself that you're now attracting people who are genuinely happy for you.
People who encourage you and love you.
You have to know that you deserve this! Be kind to yourself.
Stop looking over your shoulder for someone to be critical of you.
Decide now that you will be even happier for others when they have amazing things happen in their lives too.
Open yourself up to even healthier expansive relationships.
Assume people want the best for you and assume that you bring out the best in others.
Sure, there might be someone every now and again who doesn't like you. But in general, you will experience way more love and ease in your world.
If you felt any resistance to all that. Check and see if you have any of these thoughts going on that could be causing you to avoid ease:
Awareness isn’t always comfortable but it is a powerful catalyst for change.
Drop the judgments and choose the life you truly desire.
Whatever that is for you is perfect and valid.
I’ll personally be having more ease please!
Lots of Love, Althea
