Getting out of giving a sh*t

This is one of my favorite ideas: Like me, don't like me. It's not my business.

I gave up being liked about the time I hung out my Psychic-Medium shingle. I chose the more outlandish title over the option of calling myself the more palatable version: Intuitive Consultant.

I did this to close the exits so I couldn't back out. I did this so I could actually embody the freedom of being who I was - without the need for approval I'd previously spent my life striving for. I did it to claim my crazy, wild & weird self.

I realize now that this required a metric ton of courage. Seems all change has this requirement for entry. From where I was standing I was out of options. I'd spent my entire life working terribly hard to fit in. I was very successful at fitting in. I had a job on Madison Ave, a nice title, a six figure salary. But I was done. I was burnt out. I was quite literally falling apart at the seams from the need to fit in.

So all the areas we yearn to fit in: our bodies and our weight, relationships or the lack of them, parenting, personal conflicts, all of it gets better when you stop trying to make yourself fit into a scheme you didn't design. And that begins with not giving a sh*t what others think of you.

So, can I invite you on the irreverent path?
