You are so right about the need to let go and get into that flow that exists just outside our conditioning, Anna!
Oh, how I relate to being that person with all the meticulous plans a-z, but being a first time entrepreneur founding a startup at 64 upended all of that. I was driving myself crazy with all the planning and strategizing and trying to control outcomes. Which of course, kept me from the doing of the thing. I was staring failure in the eyes.
I had to face my fears and let go of the illusion of control so I could paddle my dory out of the eddy and into the rapids. As soon as I did, everything about my life began to change for the better.
Fear and uncertainty still come up of course, but they have a much more difficult time getting past the love, beauty, joy in my life and the renewed belief in myself I am experiencing!
Absolutely! I’m learning how to take those butterflies in the stomach feelings (or floating sense of dread…) and reframe it. It makes for a lot more freedom and fun in life!

I think you're a force of nature, Ariel!
Yes, it's scary, but so is just about everything else. If we file it under "excitement", all of a sudden we can tap into a lot of energy.
