I ran a live event in London this last week
I spoke for 7 hours a day 3 days in a row
With no planned content whatsoever
I hot seat coached people, ran guided meditations and taught ideas
And for the first time in the last year…
I had no nerves whatsoever
I was excited and looking forward to it leading up to it
Why wasn’t I nervous? Does it mean I don’t care as much? Is this too good to be true?
I believe that learning to trust is really a “rep game” where you allow the moment to be and your nervous system begins to regulate in the “unknown”
I just got into the unknown over and over again with other live events prior in the year until my identity began to shift along with my nervous system
I’ve also allowed the space and the people to pull out of me the content and ideas
So the EGO doesn’t have to control and figure it all out
The ego is what wants to control… to avoid pain or feel inflated
Magic happens when I surrender the egos desire to control
And instead trust the divine or God to flow through
To be honest… Its not me as AARON DOUGHTY doing ANYTHING
Therefore I just show up and allow the space and the divine to flow through
The divine is in the driver seat and my job is to allow and get out of the way
To get to this point though… I had to have the courage to step into the unknown over and over again
This meant at times feeling the fear… and doing it anyways
And eventually my body began to relax in that “unknown” energy
Same was true for having vulnerable conversations
I would express how I really feel…
When as a kid it felt not safe to do so
As an adult I’ve had to feel that same fear… and then express myself anyways
And the more I’ve done it… the easier it gets and the more I “trust”
Trust is not something you need to “learn” to do
Trust is a natural state of being
Trust is allowing what is
And allowing something greater than the ego YOU to flow through
The more you trust this unknown energy… the more you wire your nervous system for more love, connection and growth
The truth is… you are always trusting in SOMETHING
Is that something the ego? Or the Divine?
Is it the past familiar energy?
Or the unknown? Where ALL magic happens?
What is something you have been trying to control in your life that you can let go of and embrace the unknown?
Can you feel the fear and do it anyways?
