Slow Living is my Dream Life but not so dreamy because I choose to live it now.
Disclaimer: I have respect for those of you who desire more money, luxury travel and more material experiences. ALL GUHD! I’m simply sharing my own awakening to a different version of a dream life.
Dear Soulie,
When I first decided to this more unconventional path I started as a "Manifestation Coach”. I definitely manifested many things but never perceived them as good as what was being put out as success in the Law of Attraction world. Stories, videos and post that got the most attention were the ones that headlined:
”Manifested $100,000 in 7 days!”
“Manifested my Soul Partner over night!”
”Manifested my dream home!”
”I a make money in my sleep”
money money money love love love material item after material item Bali, Tesla, perfection.
Meanwhile I manifested things like clarity, self-respect, time to be in nature and peace. But, when I would hop on instagram it just didn’t feel worth sharing openly as a Manifestation Coach. I didn’t feel like these subtle intangible wins were enough for me to deem myself as a “real Manifestation Coach”. Now, I know many of you will have varied opinions. You may feel super fuckin seen right now orrrr.. you might be thinking that was totally a limiting believe you had Michelle. I’m cool with whatever - both are valid and can exist. But, that doesn’t mean my experience wasn’t challenging and real too.
I’ve broken my own glass ceiling and start to ask question that expanded my view on what it means to be a Manifestation Coach… really to manifest, period.
Why do we have to put time restraints on it?
If it doesn’t come within that timeline what does that mean about me?
Why are we creating these black and white, dogmatic narratives when we entered the manifestation world to be FREE in the first place not to still be in competition in the spiritual community.
What if I don’t want travel or a soul partner right now?
What if I kinda don’t want a bajillion dollars.. (tbh, I’m not sure I would even know what to do with it).
So, I started to go deeper into my internal world and really get in touch with things I value. Here’s what I found
I love plants and gardening
I want to sing more
Staring in my dog’s eyes is medicine
I’m ready to grow my community and want to explore more intimacy in my friendships
I want lived a healed life instead of perpetually doing healing work
I get offffff on a good book
Podcasting with Melody makes me happy
I love loving others
I am a healer and a teacher
and I don’t know where all of this is going to take me but I know it feels true and that’s more than enough for now.
What do you deeply know about your own interests and world view?
