There will always come a moment in our lives where we ponder the question, ?Why does this work for others and not for me?? This moment is often closely followed by our cry of, ?What the?heck!?
Then we might try to force ourselves into fitting into a mold that we deem acceptable and appropriate. Who can we really blame for creating all these rules and regulations about how life should look?
We can call out all the usual suspects: society, church, school, parents and pop culture. But the culprit is always our fear. Fear feeds us illusions of inferiority and inadequacy. Fear tells us we are not good enough. Fear insists we compare and judge. Fear deceives us into thinking that if we attack others somehow we will feel better.
It doesn?t matter what suggestions fear makes; in the end, we always end up feeling worse and completely lost.
Lucky for us, love has a better, much gentler way. Love does not try to suffocate us by giving us a million suggestions. It merely says, ?Try this one. It will work.? Love does not try to stuff us into a box. It says, ?This fits you just right.? Love does not send us off into many directions. It yells, especially if we haven?t been listening, ?Go this WAY!? Nicely, of course!
The more we listen to love and live by its rules, the brighter and lighter life will feel. Love?s method of living life is simple and kind.
Here are my top three Love Rules I give to my clients to help them dethrone the fear in their lives and bring in the love.
Love Rules
Rule #1- Authenticity
Why would love want us to be like anyone else? What could possibly be better or sexier than the person that you are? Nothing.
We spend too much time letting our fear block us from being our true selves, forgetting that we are fabulous and amazing just as we are. Be your true self! A great way of tapping into your truth is by learning to stay still and meditate. If we can?t stand in our truth long enough, we will easily topple over when fear comes along and tries to push us down. Fear WILL come along and push us down.
Rule #2- Have a personal relationship with love
The word ?love? can be replaced by any word that works for you. It doesn?t matter what you call it. Make it your own relationship with something or someone higher than yourself. It can even be a higher You. Whatever works for you!
Fear?s rules will have us focusing excessively on what words we use. ?She called it, God, but what does that mean?? ?He called it Universe, does he mean God?? Who cares what it means to other people? Find what works in your life. Use a word that works for you.
Then work daily at building that relationship. A popular way my clients build their own relationships with love, or whatever they choose to call it, is through meditation.
Meditation also helps us reinforce Rule #1 because it allows us the space to stay still. The more you can cultivate space and silence, the more you can listen to love?s quiet whispers.
Rule #3 ? Share the message
Love is all about sharing and fear is all about hoarding. Fear likes when we compete, and when we feel scared that if we have something others won?t have it, or vice versa.
Love on the other hand, says, ?There is plenty for everyone!?
When you live by Rule #1 and Rule #2, Rule #3 is easy and super fun!
You can share the love however you please.
Maybe you become a yoga teacher who goes to church, or maybe you are a pastor?s child who loves meditating, or maybe you are a psychotherapist who loves tantra. Maybe you are a mother learning to be more patient with your child, or you could even be a social worker who dislikes traditional therapy but loves entrepreneurship, meditation, Jesus and helping others. See how there are endless possibilities?
Sharing our love through our work, our creative projects, our businesses, our friends, our families and our communities is essential in ending fear?s reign over our world.
Be brave about who you are and what you love.
Share your truth with a strong but loving voice.
Express your highest self in all moments.
Shine your light, so others may also find their way back to love.
The time for the usual suspects is over. It?s time to call out the real problem, ?Can the real problem, please stand up??
Fear has governed our lives for too long. Now it?s time for love to rule!
