JUST AS WE ARE

It's here my love,
The time to dive inwards,
The world is beginning to get a glimpse.
We are dropping into a way which is gentler,
More kind.
A way which involves less efforting,
And more unfurling.

You see, my love,
It has always been there,
This beautiful unfolding of love,
It's just that we have been too busy to see it.

As we have filled our heads with to do lists,
And ideas about how we need to be more of something,
But it doesn't mean anything;
Not really.

Just because we haven't seen our innate capability before,
Doesn't mean we can't see it now.
Doesn't mean we can't simply step into the new thinking that arrives,

Or better still, into the beautiful wisdom that lies
Beyond all thought.
In that safe space of who we are;
In our connection to nature.

And, as we simply let go of the idea that we need to fix or change anything,
We will begin to discover more and more,
That who we are beyond thought -
And even beyond self-help -
Is pure magic.

We are already everything we want to be,
Because we are love, at our essence;
We are part of the greater intelligence of the natural world.
And so, you and I, my darling,
Are going to be fine,
Because the world is beginning to get a glimpse:

That all we really need to do is nestle down,
And follow the flow,
Allowing ourselves to see the truth;

That we, my love, are already perfect, just as we are.

#DoNothing Day 4

Morning my loves,
Thank you for still being here! By now you might be noticing that thoughts are so often whizzing round our heads, but that they don't really mean much. And in just seeing that, there's often a real feeling of peace!

Beyond all our thinking, we are always tapped into our wisdom. It's never not there, it is just that we can't always see it. Yet we so often turn to self-help in efforts to try and fix ourselves, despite having all the power within us already. What if we look to indiginous communities? What can we learn about how to deal with our pain there? They don't sit around using self-help tools and techniques, they simply rest in what is.

Will you make your 5 minutes today? Here's some help if you want it, but otherwise enjoy your spaciousness...
.
Self-Rediscovery Reflections
.
- Can you see that we are always okay under the thinking we are not?
- If we look to indigenous cultures, what can we learn from how they cope?

Remember to share using #DoNothing – what are you noticing in the quiet? 💜

Today has been filled with gorgeous messages from people taking part in the challenge. I'm seeing how many of us have busy minds, and that just by stopping for even 5 minutes we are beginning to just notice that we can reconnect to the wisdom just underneath our thinking.

Of course it doesn't always feel so easy to see the wisdom. Especially when we have so much thinking going on. And it can be so tempting to try and change that, to try and shift our mindset, or push our thoughts away. But that's not the purpose of what I'm trying to share here. We don't need self-help, we need self-rediscovery.
You see we don't need to 'fix, change or do' anything, because there's nothing to do. The more efforting we pile on, the more full our heads become. This was something I noticed along my own journey through illness, in which I constantly tried to fix myself, only to realise that if the wisdom is within, we can't be broken in the first place.

All we really need to do is pause, and get quiet enough to deeply listen to it; to the whispers of our intuition. This is something we might get a glimpse of, as we begin to dive inwards.

Are you noticing this during the 5 minutes a day of the #DoNothing challenge?

Why not nestle down somewhere you love, and just notice? You have all you need. 💜

INBUILT WISDOM - DAY 3 - #DoNothing CHALLENGE

When I began to stop and get quiet more often I noticed so much more. The less I worried about how anxious I was, the easier it moved through. I began to see that there was actually nothing TO do and that 'doing' was causing me more trouble. We aren't broken. Life is living us, regardless of any efforting we do, and we are always being returned to being psychologically ok by an innate wisdom that is inbuilt - just as inbuilt as our lungs which know how to breathe without us trying to fix them. As I began to stop the self-help, and instead got quiet I saw there was nothing to fix.
So, in your 5 minutes today, what do you notice? If you want some guidance for reflection, why not try our Day 3 Self-Rediscovery Reflections:
.
- Can you notice life being lived in the noises around you?
- Can you see an innate intelligence behind life?
- We don’t tell our lungs how to breathe, and we don’t tell our hearts to beat, so why do we try and tell our minds to be psychologically okay, when it is inbuilt?

There’s nothing to do – it’s all being done for us! Share your views using the #DoNothing hashtag, in a post or stories!

Much love, 💜
