Soulful Sunday: Stand There

July 8, 2018Jessica Leigh LyonsSoulful SundaysNo comments

“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.” ― Anne Lamott

Stand still, for god sakes. I start most of my sessions asking clients to put a stake in the ground. Where are you? Where do you want to be? You do not need to clean the bathroom, empty the dishwasher, add to your project plan, and say yes to every networking option that comes your way. You don’t have to say yes to every friend or family invite. Stand. Put a stake in the ground, take courage, stand by it, and see what is drawn to the light. Take note of the large, deep blows of the horns off shore. See what comes. Save the boats (and save your life) by standing. Here.

Mantra: May I have the courage to stand exactly where I am and let that be the work.

Journal Q: Where are you standing? What are you standing for?

XO,
JESS

 

These Soulful Sunday blogs go out weekly on Sundays to be used as a place to step back from the hustle and bustle and explore what your soul might be saying to you. Some folks use these as journal prompts and let loose amidst pages. Some folks bring them to the kitchen table and jam over coffee. Do you, boo.
