Deconditioning isn't a casual hobby

How are you doing this Mercury Retrograde? 

For me, it has been incredibly illuminating.

I've been reflecting on the level of commitment it takes to truly decondition and live as your unique self, experiencing satisfaction and energizing work/activities every day.

I've been tracing the lines back to how I've gotten all the incredible things I've experienced in my life (especially over the last six years).

I've built a life completely on my terms, in alignment with my Generator aura. I created a successful business that gave me the freedom and control to use my time and energy however I wanted. 

I never settled for just results. I needed everything I achieved or created to be in alignment with my aura and natural flow, so that it felt good to me.

I landed a book deal without even going out to "make it happen"—it came to me (and now thousands upon thousands of people have that book in their hands). 

I make money doing what I love and what energizes me. I couldn't find any opportunities to do what I wanted out in the world—so I made them. I am completely expanded in my creativity (the most important thing to me). I always give myself the freedom to create what I want and allow myself to experience everything I desire.

It's not easy to live on Earth right now. There are so many pressures and sadness and collective trauma. But at least at the end of the day, I can confidently say that life isn't passing me by while I live someone else's agenda. 

None of this happened by accident. 

It came through ruthless honesty with myself, being willing to face my own ego and unhelpful patterns, being serious and dedicated to my own transformation, including significant investments of time and money to learn from people who had mastered what I had not.

It has meant taking risk after risk. I listened to my inner Authority even when it wasn't comfortable. I ended friendships and partnerships when I didn't feel supported or understood. 

I've always been willing to go it alone rather than compromise myself, trusting that the right people would show up when I took the initiative toward what I wanted (Life Path 1 things!)

I've faced my own doubts, negative thoughts, and overwhelming emotions, and chose to sit with them instead of expecting someone to save me or numbing them out with external distractions.

Deconditioning isn't a casual hobby. It's not something you gather bits of information about and hope it all comes together.

It requires a level of seriousness that most people aren't willing to bring to their own lives.

And I think that's what this Mercury Retrograde has been showing me—just how much I've been willing to risk, to invest, to sit with, to walk away from, to face, in order to live as my true self.

And it has all been worth it!
