You can have a lot more help if you’re ready to ask for it. You’d be surprised how willing people are to show up for you. This episode talks about learning to surrender and receive.
In full transparency, I think this episode might be a little different. Tomorrow morning I am going to be admitted to the hospital. It took me some time to surrender to the idea of being admitted for 4-5 days, and I want to share how empowering a sense of surrender can be for our True Stride.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP158’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. When speaking with the doctor, most of my thoughts were on managing the responsibilities and commitments in my life, like my pups and Striders. However, I reached out for support and people are showing up wonderfully. I’m going to the hospital with peace of mind knowing that I’m prioritizing my health and will show up much stronger for these relationships.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about allowing surrender and being open to receiving support. Sometimes we overthink situations, and removing obstacles that hold us back can help us fully surrender. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- What do we need to surrender in order to be fully present?
- What’s holding us back from dealing with our #1 priority?
- What opportunities are available to us once we surrender?
- Is there a big decision in your life that you are grappling with right now, and do you feel resistance?
- Is the resistance physical or emotional?
- What is the resistance about?
- Is it an obstacle you can accept or make peace with?
- Can you notice what becomes available when you address that obstacle?
Find ways to stay open for what flows to and through you from surrender. This allows you to gain a wealth of resources and move forward with an open heart.
Be vulnerable enough to seek new solutions. Empower your surrender with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Are there areas in your life where you’re leaning into your ego or not asking for help?
- Can you surrender your ego?
- Where in your life is there an opportunity for you to ask for help?
- As you ask for help, can you be open to how people are able to show up?
- Where in life can you benefit from expert help?
- Are you open to expert help?
- Can you see this surrender as an investment in yourself?
