128 Uncertainty as a Powerful Guidepost

Hey, this is Anne with your SpiritRiver Coaching on the Go.

I want to talk about 6 elements referred to as your basic human needs.

Tony Robbins talks about this.

From working with billions of people, he found six basic human needs.

One, is the known, the constant, Certainty.

Okay?

You need to know certain things are going to happen, which gives you stability.

Another basic human need is Variety.

Certainty and Variety can feel opposite one another.

Another is Love and Connection.

Another is Significance, that you are unique, and Significant in some way.

Someone might be significant because they claim a vow of poverty.

Another person might be significant because they have come from poverty and amassed great wealth.

It doesn’t matter what the significance is, but everybody needs to feel significant.

The top two are spiritual.

One is Expansion and Growth, and the other is Contribution.

Now, the need for expansion is compatible with the desire for variety.

The first two, though, are variety and certainty, they sometimes create discomfort within us as we grow.

In this community, we are expanders.

We are people seeking expansion.

So my coaching today is to get you to understand there is a level of discomfort that comes consistently with expansion.

When you get used to it, it becomes a signpost that you are on your way to your next expansion.

You are on your way to your next incarnation.

Instead of freaking out, running for your blanket, running for everything constant, expected, and certain, you don’t have to freak out.

You can start to let yourself know that a part of your journey is going to be uncomfortable.

That’s the exciting part.

Right before the next net appears.

Leap, and the net will appear.

Recently, I’ve been engaging in some high-level play, creating on the highest levels.

I expect to be doing that for the rest of my life.

But the current incarnation that I’m engaging with is a massive project.

Every so often, I do the work, put in the inspired action, present where I’m going, and there is some time and space, not always, where it doesn’t all snap together immediately and elements rearrange themselves on your behalf.

You get the opportunity to be in this uncomfortable spot where it has not manifested yet.

You have a vision for it.

You continue to take every step available towards it.

Sometimes some of the elements are coming together.

It doesn’t show up immediately.

Your job will be to be as comfortable and joyful as you can be in that uncomfortable place.

Perhaps if you understand that uncomfortable place is a guidepost, a marker at the side of the road like one of those orange triangles on the path through the woods telling you you are still on the trail, you can grow to expect it.

Once you start to expect it, once you know that when you’re in it the more joyful, curious, and envisioned you can be, the more you will promote forward movement and you won’t sabotage yourself.

This is also a great place where people sabotage because they’re starting to get uncomfortable.

Some people believe that if it’s right, it feels good, and it often does.

f you are on the right path, it feels good.

But if you’re on a path you’ve never been on before, aren’t you a little bit unsure?

You haven’t walked that path before.

The part of you that craves certainty could get triggered here and start acting up and you can start seeing things in your space, like complications.

Instead of being resourceful with the complications, you might decide to bail, to leave, to go, to leave a job, go to another one.

There are times to leave.

I’m not saying there aren’t.

Part of the massive expansion is a feeling of not knowing what’s going to come next.

That is where you get to step into trust.

You get to meditate, be in your vision, and know that things are in motion on your behalf, in your favor.

You get to continue to be joyful and open and in possibility.

If you start getting scared and closing up here, what do you think is going to happen when your next step shows up?

Do you think you are going to hear it, sense it, and follow it, or do you think you’re going to be closed off and miss it?

I just wanted to chat with you today about some of the markers through major expansion, as you are going to expand your business, create a business or are in flux and you decided to leave something, and you’re creating something new, or you’re getting ready for a new chapter.

There are a lot of big thinkers in this community, big, high-level creators.

What are you creating?

What do you want?

Earlier this week we talked about listening and following and then more and more steps opening.

But if you get uncomfortable in that place of wonder, in that place of possibility, that’s where you can easily derail.

If you’ve been derailing, it’s a good thing to bring up in coaching or post my Facebook Page so we can dig in.

I’m here to support people as I support myself in becoming freer and freer and freer, loving and engaging in the creative process that is you, that is your life.

That is this universe, that is everything we can see and things we can’t even see or don’t even know.

It’s Creation.

Have a beautiful day and do your homework.
