✨ Act from fullness, not from fear.
When something in your life feels frustrating, your job, your bank account, your relationship, the place you live - it’s so easy to feel that urgent pull in your stomach telling you to do something NOW.
(If you prefer to listen rather than read, I’ve recorded a short free track on Insight Timer about this exact shift, you can find the link in the comments.)
And when we follow that impulse, we often jump into frantic action: endlessly scrolling job offers, rehearsing conversations with the boss, making rushed decisions, overthinking relationships, trying to fix everything immediately.
But here’s the thing:
Rushed action born out of fear, lack, or frustration rarely leads to clarity.
It usually leads to more confusion, more chaos, more emotional noise and vicious circles.
So here is what you can do instead.
Stop, even if every part of you wants to run.
Pause.
Take a slow breath.
Open your chest.
Feel the ground beneath your feet.
And then gently shift your awareness from what feels wrong…
to what is here and good.
The warmth of your dog leaning into you.
The soothing taste of your tea.
The light falling through your window.
The first sip of morning coffee — the one that tastes this good only in the morning
A good friend you can call.
The comfort of your chair.
Your child’s laughter.
A book waiting for you.
The softness in your shoulders.
The fresh water and food you are blessed to have.
The simple beauty of a candle flame.
Anything that is already here, offering you grounding, abundance, nourishment.
From this place, your mind can settle at least a little bit.
It comes closer to your heart and your body.
It slowly steps out of survival mode and into presence.
And suddenly, different ideas and insights appear - wiser, more creative, more aligned.
Your thoughts become more supportive.
You are able to see something new.
Your choices become more effective.
Your actions grow from fullness, not from fear.
