After 30 years of receiving gifts poorly, one gift would shift my thinking to acceptance.

Life happens and how we handle the things that come at us comes down to our actions. So I started to just breathe.

A chance encounter made me realize that I no longer just thought differently... I now felt differently and was different.

It was time.

What if you could remove the questioning of WHY and the wishes that come with SHOULD and by doing both you shed the victim story? That is what I experimented with.

When the stories we tell ourselves hold us back, and how to let go.

When fitting in becomes harder than standing out.

When I realized that not everyone is a giver I found new ways to understand, accept and navigate the takers.

How do the stories we tell ourselves drive our thoughts and our decision making and what if they didn't?

What If we removed the word SHOULD from our vocabulary, from our thoughts and accepted what IS? I did this experiment and I found it equally freeing and confusing. All these SHOULDS keep us comparing, hoping, expecting and held back.

When it is time to walk away from old limiting beliefs and navigating relationships and work differently.
