Christmas, The Holidays, New Year, …. I so often hear people saying they feel sad, they feel alone, they feel isolated, …
How can you stop feeling alone?
How can you create a life in which you never feel ‘left out’ again?
Read my ‘Christmas’ blog to find out! 🙂
If you often feel as if you’re alone in this world, as if no one understands you.
If you often feel like an outsider, as if you don’t belong.
Then that’s an invitation to look very closely at the people that surround you.
Who are they?
Are they like-minded people?
Do they have the same values, dreams?
Do they live a similar lifestyle?
These questions are very important.
Because once you’ve found your ‘crowd’, you’ll 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, and define, your vision.
Make it very clear:
Who am I?
How do I want to live?
How do I want to relate to people?
What is important to me?
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, politics, …?
And so on, and so on.
Ask yourself all of these questions and be very honest with yourself.
Listen to what your heart says and not to what your mind is telling you to do.
Your mind tells you what other people taught* you, what other people think is how it is supposed to be.
Find a very quiet spot and put your hands on your heart when you ‘listen’ to your answers.
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, alone, … 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 these people, the crowd you belong to,
is the greatest joy you can find, it 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 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!
And you’ll never feel alone again!!
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)!!!!
Happy Holidays and make 2024 YOUR year, a year in which you’ll ‘find’ YOUR crowd, a year in which you’ll always feel connected to like-minded people.
