Go Helium!
When we face our fears, we take control of our power. We create an opportunity for a new beginning. An opportunity to leverage up. An opportunity to go helium.
Don’t dream unless you are willing to take action.
Going helium is setting your sights on the biggest dream you can imagine and going for it. I know…those big lofty dreams seem so far away from where you are at right now. They cast a long shadow and carry a heavy weight. Big dreams don’t have to be that way.
Remember the last time you had fun..serious fun. You lost track of time and immersed yourself in the moment. Hours went by like a moment in time. You were in flow.
Flow is a natural creative free-flowing state of being. We are connected to what we love. We are connected to our source energy. This energy propels us forward busting through whatever obstacles are placed in our path.
The secret to getting is flow is busting through our natural innate resistance. Resistance wants to keep us stuck in the status quo. Resistance loves the daily grind. Resistance does not want you to break your routine and step into flow.
Resistance lives and thrives on your fear.
Fear manifests itself in many ways. When we talk about going helium, the fear language of “I’m not good enough” or “I can’t succeed” pops to the forefront. Welcome to your resistance. Say hi.
Think you are not resisting right now? We all do. What makes you unique is how your resistance controls your daily life.
Ready to take an inventory? Come on, what do you have to lose?
- Make a list of all the things you are resisting (exercising, eating healthy, career, relationship, etc.)
- Take a guess as you why you might be resisting each item
- Is there a common theme? Can you boil your resistance down to a key concept?
- How would your life change if you decided to change your approach to your resistance?
- Why is this change important to you?
- What are you going to do?
Deciding to get in the face of our resistance is a simple decision. If you think it isn’t, then you are allowing your resistance to rule the day.
Don’t crawl up in a fetal position and surrender your life.
Step up and punch resistance in the face. Do it or don’t. There is nothing to deliberate.
Face your fears..make something wonderful happen. Push aside all the mundane superficial BS. Find purpose and meaning. Bring your gifts to the world.
Your resistance has dominated your life long enough. It’s time for you to shine. Time for you to take action and live the life of your dreams.
Time for you to GO HELIUM!!
This post was originally publish on April 18, 2011 on my blog. I was inspired by this photo to write this post.
I see a man floating along in life. He is free of his attachments. He is seeing his surroundings for the first time. He is going helium!
The beauty of visual imagery is that we can all look at the same photo and see something entirely different. What do you see?
