I’m being tested again. In more ways than one. I’m struggling with wanting to give in to the “why me” question or the “why can’t things be different” question. I know these questions are useless and disempowering, yet they hold a powerful pull. The pull of my past patterns.
I am working on exposing those patterns and creating new ones to replace the patterns that disempower and hold me back from being my best. Whining and complaining is definitely not me at my best. I’m doing a lot of that today and over the past couple of days.
I’m putting it out here on my blog because I know that showing vulnerability is part of my new process and part of my new pattern. I’m frustrated on many levels right now. That’s ok. I’m willing to sit with frustration while at the same time making a choice of what I would like to do differently.
What old, disempowering patterns are you allowing room in your life? Are you ready to let them go in exchange for something more powerful? What are they? What will you replace them with?
Today, I replace my pattern of asking “why”, with “how”. How can I make it work? How can I make a more empowering choice? How can I? How can I?

Whew – glad your blog came back. Props to you for putting it out there <raises roof white girl style>.
I'm really struggling to give breathing room to some old patters around food/dieting/eating. They're no good for me anymore and yet letting go is just about the scariest thing ever. The thing is, I have no concept of what to replace them with. If you don't know anything different, well, you don't know what to do different. I don't know how but I'm just giving it room to breathe and surrender.
Thanks for creating the space…
P.S. Have you ever noticed your comment editor is called "fckeditor?" Heh. heh.
