049- Surrender vs Giving Up: How to Surrender & Still Have Boundaries

Host Sam and co-host Anthony discuss surrendering and boundaries. There's a subtle difference between choosing to surrender and giving up altogether.  Every choice that you make offers you the opportunity to accept the present moment as it is, or to resist it. In this choice lies the ability to be happy or to be miserable. In one decision, you leave the ability for the current experience to be exactly what it's supposed to be: an invitation into more consciousness and full acceptance of the present. In another, you give all power up and become victim of the circumstance you're in, thinking it can never be changed and telling a future story of how it's always going to be. Which of these sounds familiar to you? If it's the second one, you may be succumbing to giving up, rather than setting boundaries and accepting the reality of the moment. Certainly, no one gets to be walked all over. But you'll find the more that you surrender, the more powerful you become. Instead of always trying to be in control, you find yourself easily moving through life from this present moment, to this new present moment, to this new present moment, and on ad infinitum. What if you could shift your presence to this intentional kind? What would change for you? What could be possible when you surrender to what is instead of trying to make the future into what you think it is going to be?LISTEN NEXT: 012 - Limits of Love: A Practical Guide to BoundariesWomen like us are on a journey of liberation from the world’s constant desire for us to be small, quiet, & contained.
