Uncover Your Raw Power

by Di Russell

When I learned that the energy that powers me up - the life in me - is only well-being I became very curious.

If I was so full of 'well-being energy' why was I experiencing so much low self esteem, doubt, fear,...a long list of things that felt anything BUT well-being?

The answers that came reminded me of the kitchen floor in my first-ever home. The house was old, timber-frame, fibro walls, leaking roof, really in need of some TLC. 

The kitchen was so tiny, I could turn around and reach everything in it. And the flooring was nothing short of disgusting. It was a thin, dark patterned carpet, buckled in places and threadbare in others.

When the carpet was removed, the very raw, unfinished Jarrah timber floorboards were revealed. 

OMGoodness! I still remember how excited I felt! NOTHING in this house looked glamorous or modern...and here, hidden away, were the most beautiful floor boards - albeit they needed to be brought to life. 

Once they were sanded and lacqured, they were SOOO beautiful!!!! Deep colours of golden and brown hues and when the sun shone in on them they just danced with beauty.

What had appeared to be the most disgusting part of this house, became the very thing that made my heart so full of joy - every day.

We are like that kitchen floor. The very foundation of us - the Life in us - is so solid, strong and beautiful. But it can often go unnoticed, having been covered over with all that the journey of life has brought us. 

When you get to the stage where you're so done putting up with the things in life that really bring you down, it's time to get curious. 

Ask; Who am I really? What's underneath all 'this'?

The truth is - there is a solid, strong and beautiful you, waiting to be noticed and uncovered. It might still be raw, and it's definitely unfinished. 

The true life in you IS only well-being. The question is are you ready to notice it and bring it to life?

What If Your Desire Is the Evidence?
Have you ever had an idea that just wouldn’t let you go? In 2015 I caught myself thinking … “I want to help people be the best they can be.” And then I immediately shut it down. “How would I EVER do that? “ ♡ What’s your idea?...that one that just keeps hanging around. “… to travel overseas for a year.” “… to own my own home.” “… to start my own fashion label.” Those ideas feel so good when you...
Returning to Yourself
Just today I came across a piece of writing one of my daughters sent me a few years ago. She’d written an account of her thoughts and observations leading into an interaction we’d had a year after I began a new chapter in my life. Reading it again stirred my emotion, and my gratitude, for what she’d delivered to me that day. The account of events she’d written about was true. What hit me was ho...

It could be a problem you’re experiencing now, A situation you’re dreading,A person you don’t enjoying working with,A ‘what if’ scenario…. It crowds out your thinking.
