Make A Choice

Living in Your Aliveness

Aliveness is a way of being that fills you with energy. When someone is living in their aliveness, they glow. They exude energy that you can see in their face and body. You want to be near them; to be part of that energy.

You can find what makes you feel more alive by sitting quietly and listening to your inner self. This takes surrender. Stop and listen to the quiet voice inside of you that isn’t talking about chores to be done, or errands to be finished. Listen to the whisper of the secret yearning; the dream you have always had.

That whisper is the universe sending an invitation to you, seducing you.

It’s up to you to say yes, to lean into the invitation, or not.

It’s a choice that you make.

The idea that life is supposed to be difficult is not true. The life that you have created is not because of your karma or your partner or boss, the situation is the result of choices you are making right now.

There is always a choice.

Sure, there are ‘need tos’, ‘must dos’ and ‘should dos’ in your life. I hear you. There are the Yabuts that tell you why you can’t choose. Yabut, it is too hard, yabut, that is just how my life is, yabut, that hasn’t been my experience.

Those yabuts are denying you the chance to look at other possibilities.

When you are unsure, simply ask the question “show me,” and then see what comes. Life is seducing us all the time; we have to be willing to go on the adventure.

Most people live their lives focused on outcomes. They make the form of their lives more important than the energy. Shifting into living your aliveness starts when you begin to notice your choices and how they make your life feel.

What do you want from your aliveness and why do you want it to seduce you?

Living in Aliveness requires an inherent desire. Once you experience that pure truth, you want it to happen again in your life. You can’t chase it; it has to come to you. You can’t “DO” aliveness.

Try this: For the next 24 hours, ask the universe — “show me. Show me what feeds my aliveness. Make it so distinct that I cannot deny it.”

And then lean in and listen.
