Helloš Iām Laura and I have no clue what Iām doingšš»āāļø
Iām happily navigating the world of freelancing, with all itās highs and lows⦠and honestly, Iām winging it from one day to the next, following āmy noseā and those little signs and synchronicities. Anyone relate?
Saying yes to opportunities that feel aligned & no to those that donāt, trying my best to not let fear decide for me, to put myself outside my comfort zone, allow myself to grow into who Iām here to be⦠or rather, release myself of the conditioning & patterns that donāt belong to me.
I go through phases of feeling so in flow, as though I can do anything I put my mind to, other times feeling an imposter, overwhelmed with everything I need to do to move forward & make ends meet. I guess thatās the cyclical nature of life.
Iām driven by a deep desire to help others, especially with things Iāve experienced. Most of my teenage & adult life I suffered with acne & I now help others heal their skin. Over the last few years Iāve begun to understand Iāve also dealt with anxiety throughout my life (without realising, itās shown up in many ways) & now I teach yoga & breathwork to bring others moments of peace & presence (Iāve always been terrified of public speaking š¤·š»āāļø). Iām building up the courage to share EFT with others, as I know I can help so many people with this magical tool, yet fear seems to still be holding me back on this one. I draw & paint; mostly life like portraits and I occasionally work on commissions. I move & dance; sometimes you may catch me in an advert or in the background of a TV show. I also run a little AirBnb, creating a cosy space for others visiting my home town.
I donāt do one, straight forward, well-defined thing, or squeeze into a neat little box.. I donāt fit into the mould society has made & Iām slowly realising this is my power, not something to shy away from.
Iāve always struggled with the question of āwhat do I want to do with my lifeā, always in search of deeper meaning, trying to find my calling. Realising now this was partly anxiety, the fear of doing life wrong somehow, not being good enough, not finding the 'perfect' life, letting myself down. Realising now the joy is in the journey of finding out and I'm grateful for all the possibility.
What I do know is, the more I can help myself to find peace, the more I work to exist in my authenticity and become the best version of myself, the more everything will fall into place. I know I'm on the right path and that's the only clue I need.
