What is Your Saner Life?
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. – Albert Einstein
People have been asking me – What is Your Saner Life?
A friend of mine once expressed this Einstein quote to me about the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I didn’t realize how often in my life I had been doing just that – I would take the same actions and just expect that magically I would get the results I wanted. More than that…I didn’t realize that that is exactly what I had been doing all my life. The conversations I had been having in my head made me feel like I had done something different, so what gives? That one friend with that one statement made me realize the game I had been playing in life – the game that no longer worked for me.
I realized how manipulative the voice in my head is. It tells me exactly what I want to hear in situations to rationalize anything I want it to. How convenient! It helps keep me in my self-defined comfort zone so I could be the thing I wanted to be most – SAFE. Safe from all of the unknown. Safe from stepping out and trying something new. Safe from letting anyone in too close that could potentially hurt me – reject them before I could be rejected.
The exact word for this – INSANE!
Was I happy? Absolutely not. But I knew I wanted to get there. I realized I was not living my true authentic self and it was time to get there.
It has been a journey and I have learned so much along the way. This process inspired Your Saner Life. Not only is Your Saner Life a pronunciation on my last name – but it is a place to go to get yourself out of your own loop. A place where you get out of your own way and start living your life on your own terms! That’s what I call: Yoursanity!
The first step – ask yourself some questions:
- Is how your currently living working for you?
- Are you happy?
- What’s the voice in your head telling you can’t do?
If the answer to any of these are in the negative, we should talk!
