Expecting Good, Embracing Doubts, Going to Dublin
Several months ago, I got a call from the person who helps book my speaking engagements. She was excited that an invitation from Dublin came in to present my workshop. I was excited also, since I have had this feeling that I am being called to expand my work into the world. A time was negotiated, contract sent, product purchased, workshop scheduled and time for private clients arranged. I was in heaven.
About one month ago, the reality struck me. I was going to a country that I didn’t know, to speak to people that I was hoping would understand my message and to work with a woman that I had never met in person. I must say that I was still excited, but moments of wondering if this trip would be successful floated into my awareness. I decided to take these thoughts and feelings into meditation. It was during one of these times of contemplation that I had a revelation. I have been practicing being in a place of “expecting good” for years. I thought that it might be beneficial to begin to practice “embracing doubts” as a part of every process. What if the doubts were portals to open the mind and expand our horizons? What if my embracing these feelings and thoughts would clear the way for me to be fully present and enjoy every new adventure?
I must tell you that this small awakening has created such clarity for me. I have spent the last several weeks in a space of “allowing.” By that I mean surrendering to whatever was there. Every time doubt would emerge, I would be with it and gently let go to what was present for me. Miraculously, doubt would subside and excitement would emerge.
I would like to invite you to do this process. You can start with some small event if it feels a little less intimidating, OR you can “leap” into a big experience and take the ride. Whatever you decide, call in “expectancy of good” and embrace every doubt as a gift. I guarantee that you will begin to experience calm and assurance that everything is in the flow for you.
As I embark on my trip, I am filled with enthusiasm and wonder. I will keep you posted on my journey. I am very sure that it will be a joyous new adventure.
Take a moment to remember this:
Today, I open to new adventures. I expect expansion and embrace every experience as part of my amazing life!
