Last August I turned 40... A it was a bit of a wild ride...
I had to change my plans of a solo birthday trip to Hawaii due to work related reasons beyond my power.
During g the time I was mean to be in Waikiki they had a Tsunami warning which was always one of my childhood fears...
And my Father passed away... on my birthday!
40 has turned inward to my F**k it year... and 5 simple rules Im living by...
1. FAITH leads me. Im developing my relationship to God and my spiritual connection so deep. To know I am divinely guided in ALL situations keeps me level.
2. Celebrating the little things... I light the pretty candles, I drink the nice tea, I drink from the cup that encourages me to feel divine I choose what I buy more mindfully then in the past. Celebrating me with the everyday choices of the little thibgs is my key to life.
3. Values. Knowing my values inside and out keeps be grounded when Im in a spiral or feeling stuck in the mud. Feel into the alignment of yoyr values, specifically in different areas of your life... career, family, partner, self love... each may vary slightly and have an overarching tie... but having a strong guiding star here supports you when you come up to challenges in life.
4. FUN. Having fun became a priority... once I had realised I wasn't having any! Yep... sad to say but thats where I was... I had spent years in survival mode without even realising it that first before FUN could have its place, I had to feel Safe and secure.
5. Forgiveness. To myself. I F**K UP often, and was so hard on myself... I felt like I always "deserved" negative things because I wasn't good enough... wasn't worthy of the alternatives. To forgive myself is a daily practice, some moments Im still a b*tch to myself. And thats ok... I have a reminder... a talk in my mind... coming back to self love, knowing Im always doing my best and that the meaning of life is not productivity but being human and experiences of the human life.
