My bags sit packed by the door. My family still lightly sleeps. I am feeling a mix of emotions....excited, yes. Curious...no doubt. A little afraid...stories trickle in from a variety of solicited and unsolicited sources on precautions and concerns.
It is this time before the trip, the books on India splayed out before me, my imagination centers of my brain on fire for what I might see, feel and hear. These are the moments I feel plugged back into life, reignited with passion and perhaps a little purpose as I seek to understand and experience the various cultures of the world.
For many of us, that fear holds us back from these experiences and we say "no" before we even consider the potential of a YES in our lives. When you retrain your brain to say "YES", you plug back into that passion-seeking side of you. Motivation is lost in 5 seconds. If we look at the obstacles or potential pitfalls first, it is like hitting the snooze alarm in life and going back to bed instead of lacing up our walking/running shoes in the morning. Impulse is dulled by too much over thinking, and 5 seconds later we hit the snooze on our passions. We hit the snooze on our YES.
Just for this week, as a group of Hot Pink travelers connects with about 15 other travelers in India...feel our vibe of YES. Say at least 5 YESs this week to work that brain connection that may be lost due to fear or dulled due to avoidance of any potential uncomfortable feelings in life. I am feeling so many feelings this morning, all of them worthy of being felt.
Namaste' my Hot Pink Tribe
