On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we talk about joy being the only true shortcut. When we get stuck in a place where things have slowed right down, or we feel like things just aren’t working out. It’s very easy to get anxious. It’s very easy to feel like we have to run faster, push harder, and apply as much force as possible to help get us through as quickly as we can.

The opposite ends up happening. Not only do things slow down and get more frustrating, but we also become exhausted and very often our self-esteem takes a hit.

When we’re connected to our joy, to what makes us feel good, we’re on the right path. We open ourselves up to flow and we begin to allow all those amazing things we’ve been hoping for, start to show up at our doorstep. But we first have to trust. We have to trust that number one it’s ok to feel good. That we don’t have to struggle to live a good life here, and second that we live in a loving and supportive universe.

Sometimes we just need to let ourselves off the hook, trust that when things slow down it just means it’s time to integrate. It just means that things are about to ramp up soon and to appreciate and use this downtime to gather our energy and prepare for all of the awesomeness headed our way.

Your Host,
