In today’s “Tips from Tara” episode, I share something that took me years to come to terms with:
I am NOT an Independent Woman. And, you know what? Neither are you.
Gender really isn’t important here so let me re-state:
I am NOT an Independent Person — and, dare I say, neither are YOU.
If you’re thinking, “Hey, you don’t know me! How can you say that, Tara? ‘Independent’ is my middle name!”
Trust me, I get it. >>>> Historically, I’ve prided myself on being independent. I’m a solopreneur. I’ve traveled internationally, alone. I’ve owned property, by myself. I’ve been a landlord – actually I prefer “landlordess”. 🙂 Either way, I did it by myself.
I could go on and on with examples of how I rationalized my sense of pride and striving for independence.
But the Truth is I’m NOT independent. I’m profoundly INTER-dependent — and so are you.
To give you an example of what I mean here… a client of mine, an accomplished athlete, said something along the lines of, “I’m so tired of doing everything by myself.” And who can’t relate to that feeling?
I asked her to give me and example of something she does by herself and she said, “Marathons.”
I challenged her.
“Really? Who made your sneakers? Are there water stations along your route? Who set those up? Are there people cheering you on as you go? Did you grow all the food that’s fueling your body?”
(You get the idea.)
The truth is we are profoundly interconnected and profoundly interdependent and profoundly supported.
And while feeling capable as an individual is valid and important, if being “independent” is fundamentally built-in to your sense of identity, this may be a belief or a construct that limits you, that keeps you removed from collaboration, anxious or even resentful about needing to do everything by yourself, AND – more than likely pretty gosh-darned tired!
Here’s an alternative to all that …
It is time to breath into the high truth of your inter-dependence. The truth of YOU as an integral part of the whole.
Embracing and appreciating this can create more ease, experience more gratitude and grace, and savor the experience of being supported.
Together we really are so much more.
Ready to connect and experience an entirely new level of appreciation, grace, ease and the power of support?
As my GIFT to you, let’s connect for a complimentary 1:1 session and explore the possibilities together: Session With Tara.
I whole-heartedly invite you to open up to receive this fully, to say yes to support. In our session I will be my A-game and my experience successfully serving clients since 2004. See client success stories here.
Ready to live boundlessly and create a life (and business) you don’t need a vacation from? No more waiting for later. Together, we’re going to team up on behalf of your best self, and your best life, and make today your someday.
Breaking News: We have a serial killer in our midst.
In record numbers, people are finding themselves stuck in sneaky paralyzing behavior patterns, living uninspired lives that could otherwise be extraordinary, caught up in the numbing nonsense of a false logic loop, behavioral BS, or an endless epidemic of Someday Syndrome.
Far too many dreams go to the grave.
There’s a serial killer in our midst that never makes the news.
And this fires me up.
Because here’s the thing:
When you stop waiting on your dreams,
and you stop squashing your inspired ideas,
and you stop taming your deepest desires,
and you stop telling yourself “later” and “maybe someday”
and you re-write the rules,
and you shift your focus,
and you draw some lines in the self-sabotaging sand,
and you get the right support,
and you get into aligned action with what REALLY makes all the difference ….
Then,
you realize a completely new level of what you’re capable of,
and you experience new heights of joy and freedom,
and heart-space,
and head-space …
And you start to get fired up too.
Because you see it everywhere too.
You see how norms are nonsense.
You witness ‘someday’ kill yet another dream, in broad daylight.
Defy the odds and refuse to be its next victim.
Chant, “hell-to-the-no!”
Decide that not on YOUR watch will it have its way with you.
