I randomly came across a post that I wrote back in 2014 today. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I’m sharing it today in case it’s exactly what you need too. Remember you deserve your joy. Remember, you deserve your joy. It’s natural for good things, or things that you’ve wanted for a long time, to also be coupled with feelings of fear. You deserve to experience the joy of your dreams, and whatever the good thing is that comes into your life, deserves you too.
‘Let What Lights You Up Do So’
We’re powerful creators when we’re passionate about what we want, but a big part of creating what you want is allowing yourself to accept it when it comes in.
Believe that what you are working towards will actually happen.
Often we put in the work, gather up the good energy, and when it happens we’re in shock. It’s as if we didn’t believe the power within ourselves, and so we can’t believe that this power created something that we would love to have in our lives. Putting in the work sometimes isn’t actually the hard part, it’s believing that it will happen, especially if it’s something that you’ve never had or done before.
Let what lights you up do so.
We all know what lights us up. Even if we aren’t conscious of what it is exactly, we can feel it. We get fueled and excited. I know that something lights me up when I’m completely present. I usually forget about my phone, I’m not thinking about what I will be doing after, and I’m just there immersed in that experience.
Sometimes when incredible things come in, we get scared. It’s exactly what we want, or better, and we freak out because we haven’t experienced it before or it feels unknown. Even further than that, we get scared that we will lose it.
Kick the fear by allowing what lights you up to do so.
Be stoked.
When it comes in, feel it all. You do this by completely embracing what you’re experiencing. Give yourself permission to be excited, joyful, and free to feel whatever it is that is lighting you up.
Remember that you deserve your joy.
When something that you’ve wanted, or didn’t even know that you’ve wanted, comes in it’s a great way to test your beliefs around that area of your life; it’s a great way to test your beliefs around deserving your joy.
Think of an experience where you have felt completely deserving. Have you worked hard towards something and when you received it there was joy, gratitude and no signs of fear around feeling like you deserved it? Putting energy towards something that you want happens in all areas of life, but how you receive the things that come in can differ based on your beliefs surrounding them.
If you’re going through the fear of receiving something that you would love to do or have, get into that energy of remembering something that you’ve really wanted and how you fearlessly allowed it into your life. That exchange of wanting something and allowing it to come in can spread to all areas of your life once you accept that you deserve your joy, not matter the situation.
