Gangsters, Sex, and Your Happiness.....Huh?

What is the difference between EASY and PLEASEY???

Sometimes I totally get these two confused! I ABSOLUTELY believe that life and abundance can flow; that life can BE and FEEL EASY. You know, when parking spots just show up for you, jobs knock on your door, and travel arrives regularly in your inbox. BUT, there are most certainly times when there is NOT a parking spot for miles, EVERYONE seems to be more qualified than you, and ALL that’s arriving in your inbox are invoices!

This is where I get sucked in to being PLEASEY. The PLEASEY behavior comes from a “lack mentality,” when EVERYTHING feels scarce and life feels HARD…..and the only way out seems to be by pleasing the shit out of those who you PERCEIVE are above you, or somehow in control of your fate…you know, the CEO’s, the spouses, the children, the mothers and fathers…..in essence, the Santa Clause’s of your life.

This is when I have a tendency to turn OFF my inner GPS, and turn ON the broadcasting system of our culture whether, it be FB, IG, the News, or Grandma. This is when I try and teach 15 classes a week at 5 different studios, or, when I stay in a relationship because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, or I’m scared of being alone, or, when I condemn myself for not wanting to have children or get married….I am confusing EASY with PLEASEY!

Here is the oxymoron, sometimes EASY equals HARD. Sometimes EASE comes only from making the HARD choice to walk away, to say goodbye, to say no thank you, and to trust that by NOT filling your plate with the PLEASEY, you makes space for the EASY.

So here it is: 

HOW TO BE a “G” At Your Life

G#1: GET CLEAR. Where in your life feels like a hustle, a grind, or a struggle? Notice the stuff that you dread, the times when you feel anxious and NOT GOOD ENOUGH. These are all helpful indicators of “dis - ease” and literally that’s WHAT they will cause if we continue to live with them. We develop dis-ease when our body, mind, and spirit are robbed of EASE. 

G#2: GET OUT. Waaaay easier said than done…BUT these are the “goodbye’s,” the “no thank you’s,” and the “never again’s.”

G#3: GET IT ON. Tune into what DOES feel good. When no one’s telling you what to do or what to think or which direction to go, what turns you on?? What lights you the F*** up? 

When we take the time to GET CLEAR, give ourselves the authority to GET OUT, and the freedom, to GET IT ON, we roll right on by PLEASEY street and arrive at EASY street, shades on, music blaring, and wind in our hair.

So let’s all be “G’s” and make “Getting it On” our number one priority in life.

Now cue Marvin Gaye.

And that’s where I hope to meet you, on EASY Street.

Be EASY my friends,

Blessings and Namaste,
