This Week's Reflection
What is one of the greatest sources of stress in our everyday life? Answer: tribalism!
What tribe do I want to belong to and what do I have to do to be part of it? What do I need to do to fit in? Do I want to fit in because it will make me feel better about myself? Do I feel adequate enough to be part of my preferred tribe? How can I fit the square peg that I think I am into the round hole of my preferred tribe? What if my tribe rejects me? What do other members of the tribe think of me? I could go on - I'm sure that you could too!
It's all rubbish.
Firstly, because most people don't know themselves, don't know their beauty and power - so the tribe thing is just a crutch! Secondly, none of the other people in the tribe know themselves either - all the lunatics are in the same boat! And, thirdly, because... you don't need a tribe. In fact, you don't belong with normal crazy people... at all.
This last one is (people think!) a bridge too far for most people. Who wants to be a hermit? Who wants to be an outsider? When the real question is... who wants to put themselves in a position where normal crazy people abuse them, sucking their energy dry.
You need nothing. You have everything required for the perfect life right here, in your own hands, right now. And, if there are some others who are sailing in that particular boat of abundance, isn't it wonderful that you have such traveling companions.
This Week's Quick Tip
Give yourself some "me time" today - you could use the time that it takes to do something that you have to do anyway.
Like a coffee break or lunch or picking up tonight's food from the shops. Like commuting: driving, bussing, training it. We're talking about something that takes a bit of time. Allow yourself lull yourself into simply experiencing what you have to do anyway - experiencing it as if you'd never done it before.
In the space between our frantic lives, you'll find yourself.
