“My program always sold,” she said.
“I don’t get it. Nothing’s changed.”
But this time, it didn’t.
The program was the same.
The way she marketed it was the same.
And suddenly, it no longer worked.
Her mind labeled this a problem.
And it went into fix it mode:
Why is this happening?
What needs to change?
What should I DO?
“Do nothing,” I told my client.
“Instead, get quiet. Listen to the stories the mind tells you—
but don’t engage.
Just notice the thoughts, like you notice the sound of a radio in the distance.
Notice what happens in your body.
What do you sense?
Let the thoughts come and go.
Let the physical sensations come and go.
Once your inner clouds clear, your next steps will become clear.
Without any pressure, force or fear behind them.”
She closed her eyes, and let the stories spin.
Let the energies in her body swirl.
I closed my eyes, too.
We were in this together.
We opened our eyes at the same time.
We both felt the energy had shifted.
“I think,” she said,
“that this program is no longer a good match for me.
Something new wants to come through.
I just don’t know what.
But it feels like something has already ended.
I just wasn’t aware of it yet because I felt fear.
That’s gone now.
It feels calm.
I don’t know what will take its place,
and it might scare me a couple more times …
But this program is done.”
Something new did come in its place.
Out of the blue.
It could arrive without effort now she was no longer holding on to that old program.
Sometimes, endings have already happened.
You’re just not aware of it yet.
That friendship you try to keep going?
It’s already gone.
That workout you try to commit to?
A better aligned one is already waiting for you.
What are you still holding onto that’s already gone?
It’s not working anymore.
Don’t try to figure out what it means.
Or why it happens.
Or how to fix it.
Do what my client did:
Leave it alone.
Just notice your thoughts.
Your feelings.
Your fears.
Let it move.
Let it be uncomfortable.
Clarity will arise.
It always does.
But never as a result of your meddling.
Always because you didn’t.
Love,
