Hi Fam,
I am reading a great book by Brene Brown on embracing vulnerability called Daring Greatly. I thought I would share my biggest takeaway so far which are ten guideposts to wholehearted living. She describes wholeheartedness as, "a way of engaging with the world from a place of worthiness." I think there is a certain spiritual awakening that can occur when you really start to evaluate these and envision what letting go really looks like.
1. Cultivating Authenticity - letting go of what people think
2. Cultivating self-compassion: letting go of perfectionism
3. Cultivating a resilient spirit: letting go of numbing and powerlessness
4. Cultivating gratitude and joy: letting go of scarcity and fear of the dark
5. Cultivating intuition and trusting faith: letting go of the need for certainty
6. Cultivating creativity: letting go of comparison
7. Cultivating play and rest: letting go of exhaustion as a status symbol and productivity as self-worth
8. Cultivating Calm and Stillness: letting go of anxiety as a lifestyle
9. Cultivating meaningful work: letting go of self doubt and "supposed to"
10. Cultivating laughter, song and dance: letting go of being cool and "always in control"
I love you all -
Sally
