You’re BORING

And YOU are choosing to be!


Because somebody, somewhere, sometime told you to be a good girl

A nice girl -

A pretty girl and pretty girls behave in ways that are pleasing to other people.


So you silenced your song

You dimmed your sparkle

You squashed the caterpillar before it could ever become a butterfly


All that gorgeous, vibrant, radical energy you are wasting on keeping the REAL you in check, locked in and silenced.


No wonder you have lack in so many areas of your life.


Is it any wonder that it feels difficult and confusing when you are trying, every day, to wear someone else’s shoes?


Trying to fit into someone else’s plan for your life, to become something you were never born to be.

Boring

Average

Medium

A glass half full (or empty) - whichever way the flipping glass is not overflowing.


What does that little pixie in side you have to say about that?


Yes, the little pixie!!!


The one you’ve ignored for so long –

Tried to lock in a cage –

Tried to tame –

Only to perform for you when someone else says its ok to.


No wonder she is frustrated, hurt, feeling unappreciated, angry, bitter, bored and fading.

And then every time she makes a bid for freedom, you flipping silence her, numb her, throw a towel over the cage – in case she rocks the boat or upsets the carefully laid plans of others.


You silence her with submitting to someone else’s teachings.


Thinking you need yet another qualification, or skill, or opportunity to prove yourself because you couldn’t possibly be good enough, smart enough, qualified enough just as you are.


You numb her with sugar, alcohol, screens, food, food, food and try and distract her so she won’t stick her head up above the parapet and be seen.


The little princess stays locked in the tower because that is where you choose to keep her.


You block out her light and cover her over by comparing yourself to others.


Layering up your ideas and ideals with images and beliefs of others successes, lifestyles and opinions.


But you are just covering over all that that little pixie longs to bring to life and into your reality right now.


STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT! Right now.


No more excuses

No more waiting

No more second guessing


Do you want to drift towards a grey, average and lifeless existence?


With the constant gnawing feeling that you are missing out on something.


While always looking for the next new shiny thing, thinking that that is the sparkle you need because you have forgotten all about that sparkly little pixie.


She is there inside you.

Always has been.

Waiting

Singing softly (sometimes loudly just to get your attention)

Plotting her epic escape into the wide world through you and all the dreams that you had together many years ago.


Stop ignoring her, second guessing her, blocking her out!


OR just choose to throw away that key right now and quit your belly aching, moaning and whining about what’s not right in your life and how hard everything is.


Living from one drama to the next, just to keep you busy so you don’t have to acknowledge the fact that you are missing the whole sparkly point of life!


Accept that you are willing to settle for safety, control, tightly held plans and attempting to keep everyone else happy…


Settle for that if that is what is really important to you – but stop moaning about how hard it is because you are choosing it.


You flipping chose it, deal with it –


OR

Let the goddamn Pixie out.


Let her spread her wings and sprinkle her magic into all of your life.

To LIVE it, fully, by being who you were born to be.

ALL of who you were born to be.

In the way that only you can do.


All the pixies out there put your hands in the air and if you can feel your inner pixie screaming at you to freaking put your hand up already…


But you just can’t see how that works in the ‘REAL’ world.


Then come into my magical fairy den and let's have a little conversation about how you can start to let your magic infiltrate the greyness, the ‘normal’, the blah blah blah boring that has got your soul yawning into its 4th cup of double espresso, looking for the oomph you know life is meant to have!
