I struggle to get my words out. It’s been that way recently while I was overwhelmed with a cross-country move.
Numb.
Stuck.
Blocked.
Frustrated.
Maybe you’ve been there, too. Life is going along, and then all of a sudden—BAMM—it stops. Nothing is moving any longer.
You ask yourself…
How did I get here?
What did I do wrong?
Why am I not making progress?
Self-awareness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental aspect of personal development and success. Understanding oneself becomes increasingly crucial in a world filled with distractions and noise. Self-awareness is recognizing and understanding one’s thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. It involves introspection, reflection, and an honest assessment of oneself. It’s like holding up a mirror to our inner selves, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly and objectively.
No one can argue that the last few years have been challenging in unique ways we haven’t experienced before. Many believe the chaos will continue for several more years to come. As the world continues to evolve, our individual lives may feel like we are riding a roller coaster with twists, turns, and upside/down with no end in sight. The good news is you CAN have calm in the chaos. You CAN choose a higher path for yourself. To do that, though, I believe we all will need three things to move forward in peace ~
When your plans go sideways, getting upset or frustrated is easy. With almost every planet in retro right now (an astrology thing) not much is moving forward until mid-September. The energy is shifting very quickly. In the past, I referred to our daily energy shifts as the ‘energy cocktail of the day.’ Now, the planetary energy is shifting, not every hour, but by the MINUTE! In all its beauty and complexity, life often presents us with unexpected twists and turns. Navigating these twists can be both exhilarating and daunting.
In the journey of life, there are times when we may find ourselves feeling disassociated from our body, life, and even our relationships with friends. It is a state of disconnection that can leave us feeling lost, empty, and disconnected from our spiritual essence. However, within this challenge lies an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. By embracing a spiritual perspective and exploring practices that foster reconnection, we can navigate this disassociated phase with grace and emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and connection. Here, we will delve into strategies and insights from a spiritual perspective to help you realign and find harmony within yourself and your world.
We are living in unparalleled times. If we continue focusing on the scary negative, we will surely see even more of that. Lately, I noticed I was feeling more down. An endless stream of sadness everywhere I turned. Cancer in young ones, honking angry people, and frustration that ‘things’ don’t look how I want them to look. I know the drill. When I’m feeling extra down, it’s time to regroup. Remember SSS! STOP, SURRENDER to the moment, and SWITCH the story. STOP. Stop and go inward. I take a few deep breaths calming my nervous system, and STOP whatever mind tunnel I’m allowing myself to go down. SURRENDER. Surrender to the NOW moment.
