Awhile back, as I was working with a client around the growing pains of her business, she noticed that she’d come to accept that there wasn’t any time for her personal life. Because that was her thinking, her life had become putting out one fire after another.
This alerted me to look more closely at my own thinking. For most of the past year, I’ve been telling myself that “the world” is too much for me. As a sensitive empath, it’s challenging for me to feel all the chaos. My solution had been isolating myself from the world more and more.
Recently, I realized I could shift my thinking to something more life-affirming.
I have this wonderful job in which I get to support people in proactively creating their lives and their work. My clients are willing to look within themselves and courageously create what’s important to them. It’s such a privilege to facilitate their transformations.
While I still don’t get out into the world much, I do feel better about my life because I’m thinking about how I AM contributing rather than what drains me. I’ve also given myself permission to spend more time alone in nature, reminding myself, yet again, that it restores me. I don’t need to judge it.
When I think about this land and this rainbow as benevolent friends,
I feel happier and more accepting of my life as it is.
So, what about you? What have you been thinking about? What do you notice about how that has become your life?

Ken, exactly! How great is that – we get to think up anything we desire. Thanks for sharing what you’re thinking and creating. So many disasters to relieve right now . . .
A guy selling a program asked what I would do if I had unlimited time and unlimited money. I thought about a couple ideas, made up another…and now I am creating a big disaster relief charity fundraiser for Giving Tuesday Nov 28! This seems to be a clear example of what you describe.
