Juliet LeverWell, here I am feeling very grateful to be sitting in a beautiful home nestled deep in the Noosa Hinterland, away from everything.
We are in a secluded house for the next 5 days totally surrounded by nature. The morning sunlight is filtering through the tree canopy and onto the beautiful green lush plants around the home.
We have travelled over 3500km to get here, so I’m not in any rush to leave now.
I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that parts of our drive up here were a little less relaxing than I anticipated.
There has been a lot of driving, adjusting to living in the confined space of the van, working on the go and even some bickering from being over-tired and hungry! I know that I’m only human and sometimes, we all get tested!
Over the past few weeks I have been reminded of these three truths whilst travelling:
1) Wherever you go, there you are.
To attempt to change your external world before you’ve adjusted your internal perspective and world is short-sighted. So often we think we have to move locations, change jobs or even relationships. But wherever you go, you are the constant. So when you change yourself, you change the world. Sometimes, by changing yourself internally, your external world has to shift as a result. I’m reminded of the saying along the lines of ‘ attempting to change and control the world around you is like combing the mirror in order to change your reflection’.
Journalling question: Who or what have I been trying to change outside of myself? What could I seek to change within me?
2) Travel teaches us a lot.
In fact, everything in life teaches us a lot.
There is a teacher within every experience, every person, every thing on this planet. If we are open to the lessons.
Journalling question: What has been triggering me lately? What could they be here to teach me?
3) The best things in life are free
The best memories I have of our journey up here are:
– throwing Max’s favourite toy around together in a park on a break in driving and just seeing how happy the three of us were
– watching the sunset at the beach in the Gold Coast with my best friend Kate, and Paul and Max
– listening to the birds chirp as I write this email and thinking of how grateful I am that we live in a day where I can connect with you from the absolute middle of nowhere!
Journalling question: What FREE things am I grateful for right now?
I’m so grateful to have created this life… one that is far away from the stressed out, anxious, workaholic that I was just 5 years ago.
And I know it’s as a result of all of the internal change and healing I have done.
When people ask me how I changed my life so quickly, one of the biggest things was learning about myself, my truth and how I viewed the world (and changing my beliefs and perspectives) through studying NLP…
That’s why I now teach it. I love empowering others to travel deeper into their own truth, the truth of who they really are.
And I’m less than 3 months away from teaching my first 7 day practitioner course in Adelaide, there is still time to join us if you’ve been sitting on the fence about it. Please, do yourself a favour and book in with me to talk at www.meetme.so/relaunchmylife if you would like to join this training and positively shift your internal world in a deeper and lasting way.
With love and respect,
Juliet Lever xx
