Thoughts I am manifesting this month

My word for 2022 is "FREE". 

Sounds simple enough but being "free" is actually really hard. Inspired by Glenon Doyle's Untamed and Eckart Tolle's A New Earth, every day I choose something new to be "Free" from.

For example, yesterday I set the intention to be "Free from worrying" and today I set the intention to be "Free from wanting to know". This last one really got me thinking though: we need to be completely comfortable with the unknown to be truly free. But not knowing scares the heck out of me. I want to know what tomorrow looks like, even what the next hour looks like.

So, how do I get free of wanting to know my future? 

Well, I have been practicing this concept of creating a vision for my day and then letting go. This letting go business is NOT EASY though. 

Has my life tamed me into believing that I am free through the false security of thinking that I can control everything around me? 

Yes, it has! To the point that I dread letting go of the tiniest of expectations in my day - even though the times I am able to fluidly ride the ebb and flow of my days is literally the most liberating and empowering experience I have ever had.

​Well, if I have lost you at this point, don't worry, you are not alone. That is why this section is titled thoughts I am "manifesting" = still in progress.
