Yesterday’s live call was made for me. I had an ah-ha moment regarding the lady who doesn’t like her 1970’s house. I, too, have a lot of resentment and worry about my house. I think about all the things that have gone wrong with it and what could go wrong with it in the future. It bothers me that it occupies my brain and I spend time even thinking about it on a daily basis.
I’ve been working on LOVING my house instead…. Trying to appreciate how wonderful it is and how lucky I am to live here. I believe these thoughts and they feel good. I still have concerns about the financial part of the house – having to replace new systems, roof, etc. but I’m working on letting that go. I don’t have to replace those things now so why should I worry about them now?!
Anyway, my breakthrough was when Brooke asked if the house wasn’t something she thought/worried/cared about then what would be left? AH-HA. I’m using the worry about “how terrible our house is” to buffer. It’s not terrible. It’s fine.
When that’s off the menu of things to obsess and create drama about what’s left for me is… actual important thoughts about my business, my money, and food I choose to eat.
Really great mind shift and just wanted to share.
Thanks all,
