I know when you hear the word surrender, you probably envision a white flag, and then totally giving up on what you desire to occur.
The idea of that, to someone like you, the ambitious, successful, powerhouse woman, is abhorrent, yes? You don’t give up. You’re relentless.
However, surrender is actually what’s necessary to truly transform experiences.
What we push against will remain. And grow. And therefore it will not transform.
Surrender is actually giving in … to receive what you’re actually meant to experience, and what you truly want (even if your monkey mind doesn’t quite recognize that yet).
The elements of surrender
First, accept that the present moment is what it is. Don’t try to push it away. Just let the acceptance of it sink it, no matter what it is.
Second, cease judgment of what’s occurring. Let it be neutral. Nothing has meaning other than what we give it.
Third, be still. Allow the emotions that come with judging the present moment to move through you. They will, once you make yourself be still amidst them. Breathe into and through them as they move.
At this point, you truly being fierce. You are no longer forcing. Now you are fully able to be aware of your internal guidance and choose to follow THAT, rather than settle for less than you deserve to live.
With love and fierceness,
