When you find yourself miserable, be fully miserable.

Posted on 26 April 2023

The weird thing about misery is how good it can be for you.

Sometimes you have to wake up to how miserable you truly are.

What are you fucking done with? (Excuse the expletive, but a little fire can help!)

Find your passionate “NO MORE! Enough of this!”

Root down in it. Receive from it.

Let it become be the rock solid knowing from which you launch yourself.

Let it give you clarity:

I don’t want this ___ anymore.

I can’t stand this ____.

I’m done tolerating this ____.

I refuse to stay in this ___ .

This ____ is misery to me.

Fill in the blank. Give yourself specific and clear knowing of exactly what you’re miserable about. From there comes strength and propulsion.

When you very clearly know what you don’t want, you can very clearly know what you do want. All it takes is a pivot.

You may be practiced in refusing to be miserable, and if so, great! That’s a skill, but it can also keep you tolerating the intolerable for a long time. 

Don’t be afraid to feel misery, just don’t make it your new normal. Don’t let it become your personality — simply catch it when it’s there!

Misery has very important soul-level information for you. It’s the compost for your next era. It’s the jet fuel for your launch into something very different — and better!

You can have what you want to have next. You’ll have to step out of your comfort zone and venture into the unknown to create it, though. Misery is your ally in change and desire. It will prod you out of your comfort zone towards your next becoming. 

Use it!
