This week something crazy happened - I decided to leave my job and take a chance once again on freelance. Not only did I immediately book a new gig and get called for a second one - I dropped 4 lbs. I mean yes, I soul cycle 3 days a week and swim at least 2 but I haven't dropped a single pound since starting my new exercise plan. That was over a month ago. I'm learning what my acupunturist has been telling me all along - that my job was holding me back - it was stressing me out to the point I'd gain weight eating salads with no dressing.
Then this morning at Soul my instructor Lindsay said "you are here to find clarity. Do the people in your life make it better or make it worse? Do you love your job or does it make you miserable? Do you wake up praying for the weekend? Do you recognize yourself in the mirror behind the status you've created for yourself? Forget your clothing brands, your car, your house, the designer of your shoes. Who are you underneath it all?" She's right. I choose to fill my life with positivity or negativity. I don't have to love my job but it shouldn't make me miserable. My car, my clothing, my housing - it all doesn't matter if I'm miserable.
Do you choose happiness or do you let fear of the unknown hold you back too? Remember the people closest to you in your life love the real you behind all the facade you put forth in your life. Choose to love that person too. Choose happiness :)
