THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS HUGELY SUPPORTIVE AND EMPOWERING QUESTION
“What if I told you that you could choose to feel empowered right now and that it’s not a feeling that you have to wait for? ”
Yes I am making an empowered choice to go and do live in care. Why you ask? Because I can earn A LOT of money in a short amount of time and become more financially independent by paying back the money I owe my mum and saving up money to invest in courses and travel abroad that can support me to grow my confidence in setting up my own empowered self employed income! I imagine that when im doing live in care i will also have more free time to engage with The Flow Collective as ill be moving around less and ill also have more ease in doing the elimination diet for the same reason. I also thought it might be a less stressful and more relaxed way to earn such a large amount of money in a home environment rather than going out to institutions to work.
As i was answering your questions I had negative/worried/doubtful thoughts like “What if its really difficult and unrelaxed?”
“What if its very stressful and emotionally challenging & triggers me around trauma related to my dads illness?” “What if I get really isolated?” Then I reminded myself its potentially only for 2 weeks then 1 week off then another 2 weeks and that friends and my boyfriend are allowed to visit and phonecalls etc so theres no need to feel isolated. I also had doubts if i was making THE MOST empowered choice at this time and thought about my other options which would be to contact different charities in my local area and get some work with them. But i realised that I can still do this while I am away on the live in care job and set up some different work for when im back. So perhaps its not much different as i imagine things will be quiet around Christmas anyway.
Im worrying that I dont know what courses I will want to spend the money on, im having thoughts that I have done courses in the past and I am still not self employed doing work related to those courses and what if i waste the money again…
Answer:
Those sound like great reasons to make your choice and we can see how your energy shifts when you step into your power. Celebrate! To your final paragraph, here are a few questions to ponder: What if it’s not possible to waste money on education? How could that be true?
What if it’s not a problem to waste money on education? What else do you spend money on and not turn into a job?
And finally, what if you trusted you would pick just the courses you need to become the person you want to be? Part of becoming that person may be self employed work in a certain field but it’s also enjoying the process of being a human who is makign decisions as they go, not knowing what will come next but being open to all of it. We just can’t know what’s coming around the corner. Changing that from something to worry about to something to be excited about is also incredibly empowering. What do you think?
