There are a lot of results we want in life.
We want a certain candidate to win the election.
We want to reach specific goals in our career.
We want to live in a town, or kind of house, or in my case with a particular hunky blond guy.

We can visualize the results.
We can taste the results.

And we ideally want the path to go from where we are now, directly to that goal.

Here’s where the frustration comes in.

We are looking for a linear path in a floaty world.

We want Google Maps instructions when all the while we are feathers in the wind.

Most of the time we don’t even have the correct target.
We think the result is an outcome, when what we are really longing for is a feeling.

We want our candidate to win so we feel safe.
We want a career goal, so we feel proud. Or financially safe.
We want to live with that hunky blond guy so we feel loved and cherished. And emotionally safe.

Not having a clear step towards what you want can feel unsafe.

But what would it look like if safety is you floating around on life’s breeze?

How can we embrace the floaty world?

How would life be different if you changed your expectations from living in a linear world to a world of flow?

Mirror neurons: Easy, practical science for a badass life.

A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when a person acts 
and when a person observes that same action performed by another person.

It’s like when someone yawns and that makes you yawn.

Or like when you realize you and the person you are talking to both have your hand on your hip and are taking a sip of your drinks.

Mirroring.

This has all sorts of implications.

If what we see is what we project, we can consciously create what we project to others by who we hang out with.

Who do you want to see reflected in your mirror?

Who has the kind of relationships you want to have?

Who handles their money in a way you want to graciously use your abundance?
Who moves through life like the kind of badass you want to be (or not be)?

Mirroring is unconscious. But you can utilize it consciously.

Who do you want to mirror?

The brilliant minds of the poets/artists at Flying Edna make my brain hurt a little in the best possible way.
Their thoughts on change:

“change takes time, I said

& she laughed.

time takes time, she said.

change only takes changing.

but, she added, it can take time

to get the hang of that.”

Change can happen in an instant.
Change only takes changing.
It’s my brain that is making change hard.
