Six Revelations on Moving Forward

 Even if you are enlightened, there is nothing spiritual about opening every aspect of your life to everyone just because he or she is an innocent child of God. The Holy Spirit gives you that discernment. Keep your heart open and discern. Sometimes the lesson is to discern. We meet certain people to teach us discernment Marianne Willamson 


1. Do not bargain your self worth - you bargain your self worth when you are willing to accept a  situation which dishonors you ,consistently, to keep the peace and to avoid arguments, 

-stay in your comfort zone, feeling ashamed and accept bad behavior and nonsense because of fear of losing.

2. Change your thoughts- first you must pay attention to the thoughts that are in your head. Many times we become unconscious negative and self defeating thoughts we hold on to. I ask myself often "what are you thinking?" and when I find myself in a spiral, rather than beat up myself again, I say "Oh how interesting, let me think about something I like or something positive. Its a constant work in progress.

3. Be willing to see a situation differently - A Course in Miracles has taught me this. What if you changed the way you view the situation? What if you changed the way you spoke about it? A simple shift like that can put you on pause when we are in a cycle of constant negative thoughts and over thinking.

4. Change the Story - The story you have been telling over and over again, the one that makes you feel like crap, the one that says you are a victim, the one that does not  bring you joy. Change it. This is not to say that you ignore your feelings or deny what is in front of you. It comes from a place of the willingness to see things differently.

5. Release people and situations - especially those that have told you via actions and words that they prefer to be somewhere else, situations that disempower and dishonor you. Release them by letting them go and focus on how you can be your best self.

6. Get excited about what God and the Universe has in store for you, prepare yourself through your thoughts, words and deeds lining up.

Peace

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
