Falling to Freedom

I used to think that a leap of faith meant doing one thing, drastically differently than you normally would. Quitting your job, moving across the country, ending a long-term relationship. But what I am realizing is that we have been sold fairy tales and grand gestures that make us expect everything will automatically be different after we take the leap.

I shaved my head thinking that I would wake up a liberated woman. But you know what, I woke up with the same self-destructive inner dialog, just with no hair. It took me practicing, daily that I was going to be okay.

So perhaps, we should fall into our self-trust. Each day lean a little bit deeper into the knowing that you are capable and that no matter what happens, you will be safe.

The more you fall into this feeling the more enjoyable the fall becomes. The journey is no longer drastic or scary, you simply wake up and fall into trust with yourself.
