Follow your heart… and allow happiness to infuse your life
In 2013, I had a vision: write a book. I balked, big time! I am not a writer — I am an artist. I thought, "I have nothing to say..." [and other excuses]. Yet the vision that I received was so clear and resonated so strongly within me that, after my initial freakout, I started to consider the possibility of writing a book. As soon as I surrendered and opened my heart to the invitation, then people began offering their help with the writing/editing/publishing process.
I spent the past five years tripping all over myself. Writing dredges up self-worth issues and makes me vacillate between wanting to hide and wanting to be seen. (Who knew that following my heart to write & publish a book would be such a profound healing journey!??!)
Allowing happiness to infuse our lives is a healing journey, whether we actively engage in the healing process or not.
How can we consciously invite more happiness into our lives?
It only takes a few easy steps:
• First comes intention: we have a yearning to be the best, highest expression of ourselves.
• Then we look at and untangle those limiting stories that hold us back.
• We must muster the courage to overcome our fears, and face what stops us — and befriend those parts of our stories or ourselves that we don't like.
• Finally, by the nature of the healing process, there is a transformational moment when there is a greater sense of deep happiness within ourselves and in our lives.
I wish I can say that healing happens instantly, but it doesn't.
I wish I can say that you explore your hurts only once, and you're done, but that's not the case.
