If you often feel
as if you’re alone in this world,
as if no one understands you.
If you feel like an outsider,
as if you don’t belong.
Then that’s an invitation to look very closely at the people around you:
Who are they?
Are they like-minded people?
Do they have the same values, dreams?
Do they live a similar lifestyle?
Because once you’ve found your ‘crowd’,
you finally have that feeling of ‘coming home’,
of being where you belong.
That feels so good because
you don’t have to pretend anymore,
you can finally be YOU.
That is what I wish for all of you!
Find your group, your flock, your herd,
whatever you name it,
and thrive!
In order to find your like-minded people,
you first have to know,
define,
your vision.
Make it very clear:
Who am I?
How do I want to live?
How do I want to relate to people?
How do I see our planet?
As something that is here to serve us or just the other way around:
as our home, as a place in which we have the privilege of living, of enjoying nature and all its beauty.
What are my values?
How do I see health care?
And so on.
Ask yourself all of these questions and be very honest with yourself.
Listen to what your heart says and not what your mind tells you to do.
Your mind tells you what other people taught you, what other people say is how it is supposed to be.
Once you have your own, very clear vision,
keep your focus on living according to that vision,
and you’ll see that like-minded people ‘suddenly appear’,
seemingly out of nowhere.
Where you used to feel weird, not normal, unaccepted,
(because you were frequenting the ’wrong’ crowd),
now,
(once you’ve found the ‘right’ crowd, the crowd where you belong),
you’ll suddenly feel invited to be YOU, just you.
Finding people you belong together with,
is the greatest joy you can find,
that is the missing part you’ve been looking for your whole life.
My invitation to you all this week is:
Clear out all the clutter in your life,
make room for the real you,
get rid of all that does not ‘feel’ like you,
and you’ll get a very clear vision of what you want your life, and the people in it, to look like!
Simplify your life,
say no to all the ‘obligations’ that have nothing to do with how you see the world, with how you want to live your life.
Be very aware of what makes you happy and what not.
Keep in your life what gives you energy,
ditch what depletes you.
Look at all aspects of your life:
clutter in your house,
unhealthy habits,
self-imposed obligations,
negative thoughts.
These are all things that eat up all of your energy without us even realizing it.
In my new book “Less is yes!” I guide you step by step through that process of clearing out
all of the ‘too much’,
all of the ‘draining habits’,
all of the ‘letting other people define how you should be/feel’.
Take back control
of who you are,
of who you want to be,
of your energy.
Feel light again,
feel happy,
feel at home,
feel accepted.
Find your group of like-minded people!
I wish you all a joyful reading, the intention and the courage to get rid of your ‘garbage’ and lots and lots of happy energy flowing through your body and mind (again)!!!!
Thank you all for reading me!
