During the decades, I’ve navigated my way through the inevitable variety of terrain we’ll all encounter – from jungle to wilderness, from feeling lost in a desert to replenishing body, mind, and soul at carefully tended gardens of delight…. Or, in actuality, for an all-system reset, slipping into the crystal clear sea of southwest Crete – my chosen home since leaving Scotland. In this journeying, metaphorically or otherwise, I’ve discovered it’s frequently my misdirected thoughts that can drive me into the thorny mire of misunderstandings and ‘off track’ directions and decisions.
By observing my own thoughts and offering up a genuine curiosity, the trickster from within calms down. You know – that sneaky self-saboteur that, for some ridiculous and unknowable reason, wants to continue creating chaos in your life. I like to call that out, as the expression goes… it’s where my inner exploration will take me. As my client, I prefer that you do that part…. that you come to see where your own saboteurs are, that you become acquainted with their patterns and when they are most likely to appear in your life. In doing this, you will gain the understanding, control, and power that’s been missing.
You can let go of any idea of ‘waiting until’ (who, what, where, when) before you can be happy… Consider that you can be happy NOW and not only when issues o longer challenge you (and there will nearly always be something!) but at the same time.
