becoming the witch we want to see in the world
Intuitively Wild Weekly
WEEK OF May 11th - May 17th
— REFLECTIONS —
Looking back, I’ve held so much of myself back.
Looking back, I’ve been so afraid of colouring outside the lines I’ve deemed safe. As if those lines are an invisible alarm system, ready to immediately trigger the siren with any seemingly wrong movement.
I’ve walked around on tip toes, avoiding cracks, as if on broken glass - as if I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Holding my breath, not wanting the carefully crafted castle to fall.
The truth is - when we hold ourselves back, that is when the glass can shatter at any second, the tower can topple in any moment.
Life is fragile then, because it’s always out of our grasp, never actually ours to hold. Someone else’s path we’re chasing after, never ours to own.
The irony is, when we show up as our full selves - unapologetic, unashamed, unabashed - that is when nothing can break us.
That is when we become durable, resilient, unbreakable.
That is when we become ourselves. Owning our power, purpose, path.
So many of us are showing up as a watered down version of ourselves.
We can only see it in the rearview mirror, after walking away and gaining perspective.
that our tip toeing around has only left us with bloody feet
that holding our breaths has only left us suffocated and strangled
What if we stopped tip toeing around?
What if we weren’t afraid to let our footsteps fall heavy, shaking the earth, shaking the glass away.
What if we set the alarm off?
Then maybe we’d realise -
the alarm was never anything to fear, it was our key to freedom
we we’re only afraid of the alarm scaring others, drawing attention, pushing us out of our safety net
that — when we set the alarm off — we can finally stop caring who hears.
— INTENTIONS —
I don’t want to show up in any part of my life as a watered down version of me - hoping everyone will find me likeable and cool fun funny relatable etc etc ….
I want to show up in every part of my life simply as me, unrestricted, unashamed, unapologetic - without perfecting or over thinking it - and allowing the rest to fall into place.
Then I’ll know, even if you don’t like me, I’ll be impacting you as who I truly am, proudly.
Then I’ll know, I chose myself, I chose to live, I chose my life.
Then I’ll know - I wasn’t following anyone’s rules except my own.
I want to be known for shaking the ground, setting off the alarms, colouring outside the lines.
I want to be known for breathing deeply, fully, letting the exhale break any fragile foundations.
I want to be known for creating my own rules, choosing my own life.
I want to be known as being me.
— RITUAL —
So this week, it’s time to stomp around, release your breath and set off the alarm.
Notice one place in your life where you are holding yourself back. Get clear on why. Do something, however small or big, to show up differently.
Speak up when you would usually stay quiet.
Stay home when you would usually go out.
Listen when you would usually speak.
Dance when you would usually walk.
Whatever it is, choose differently.
