Outcome independence is a concept or mindset where you detach your well-being, happiness, and self-worth from external sources. It’s giving less fucks and letting go of needing things to be a certain way to be ok. It’s letting go of “happiness” as a permanent destination you can strive and achieve your way into, and getting real grateful for the messy middle that is actually your life.
When you let yourself shift your focus away from outcomes, you can just be on the journey. You can allow and enjoy the unfolding. You can be present for your life today. You learn to do things because you enjoy them, NOT because of what you are trying to achieve or extract from them. Not because you can’t be ok otherwise.
The Chains of Outcome Dependency
⛓️Urgency (Everything feels like it’s taking too long, need for instant gratification)
⛓️ Fixation on the end result (No trust, anxiety about the future)
⛓️ Hypervigilance (Am I healed yet? Is it working yet? What can I fix?)
⛓️ Emotional attachment to perceived success/failure
⛓️ Low self-worth (Sense of value, success, and well-being attached to specific outcomes)
⛓️ Shallow capacity (Unable to handle challenges and setbacks, and often give up or are always starting over)
⛓️ Limiting beliefs (Victim mentality, inflexible and/or dogmatic world view, keeping yourself small)
The greatest gift we receive from the plants is permission to be free NOW. To be present and loving and compassionate. To be grateful for the life we are currently living, and every step that led up to this moment. To trust life and Nature. And that everything is always working out for you.
Psychedelics simply open you up to see what is already inside you. What has always been there, waiting for you to become conscious of it. So when you spend all your time seeking specific outcomes, and blocking yourself from having a good life NOW, you are truly missing out on living the exquisite perfection of each imperfect moment.
The mess in the middle is where the magic is. The tiny moments you let yourself stop obsession about fixing and getting to the finish line and just enjoy where you are.
Outcome Independence can feel like:
✨Freedom from timelines and deadlines
✨ Peace in the present moment
✨ Trusting your body, mind, and heart
✨ Steady belief that failure is a necessary growth opportunity for innovation
✨ Strong sense of self-worth and connection to Spirit
✨ Large capacity to handle emotions, stress, challenges, and setbacks as part of the journey
✨ Spaciousness for the mystery to guide and surprise you
✨ Understanding of how belief works on a quantum level, becoming an empowered Creator
✨ Embodying your vision through sustained, consistent participation and trust
✨Process, flow based mindset that is flexible and adaptable as you grow
True integration is about cultivating capacity and presence. When you stop focusing on what isn’t here and start being grateful for what is, you teach yourself that this moment is safe. This body is safe. You are safe. Safety allows wellness. And wellness is home to good awesome things that keep getting more good and awesome. 🌈
In this week’s show, I’m sharing all about how to find freedom and flow with outcome independence. This one shift could radically amplify your enjoyment of life, y’all! See you there!
