Lessons I learned from being away
1-Sometimes you’re pushing things off because you truly don’t have capacity, somethings its because you’re scared… sometimes its both.
If you’re having perfectionistic tendencies getting in the way ask:
WHY are you doing this anyway? Get clear on the purpose and servitude underneath the
Is this an aligment issue or is this a fear of being seen or trauma issue?
How can I lower the bar thats required- like whats actually keeping me stuck?
I.e. the mic, the editing (dont take the mic out, barely edit it for heck sakes. Just get it recorded and be okay with it being imperfect
2-We cant control the shit that gets delivered to our door, but we can choose what to do with it
Do you throw a fit about it
Stuck in victim mentality
Do you try to ignore it
Walk around with it on your shoes no thanks
Deal with it
May be unpleasant having to pick it up and its smelly
When big things fall away, its like a big vacuum of opportunity
Can look at the loss or the opportunity (hold space for the grief but I know now how much better my energy is used if thats not my main focus
Ask yourself: what if this is clearing out things for my highest good? How would I act?
3-When going through trauma, we are going to reach for some kind of consistency and grounding– its our job to choose what we allow ourselves to reach for for that grounding and connection
Are we making moments for zen with the universe and connection or are we reaching for alcohol or some kind of vice
I know mumbling out is easier than sitting with the feelings but sitting with them is how they release instead of fester
Choose the long-term healing over the short term numbing
4-Setting new habits and breaking old habits is easier to do when not steeped in the environment in which they were created in order to cope
5-Its a real ass power move not needing to be understood and heard in order to heal and move on. I’ve had to disconnect from my sense of self and the perspective that was being projected onto me.
6-Emotional pain is just emotional pain
7-The internet is craving more authenticity-not just a highlight reel
Where are we going?
Heart-forward bad bitchery
Taking up space, unapologetically
Integration, embracing allllll that you am, was and will be
More trauma healing, more inner child healing, more practical manifestation work
This transitional chapter is really informing season two
From having to navigate the trauma, healing through the change, finding the lessons in the spiritual smackdown allll of it
And most importantly coming out the other side with deeper integration and love for myself coming out with more healed pieces
I’m settled into my new home and starting a chapter of independence, freedom, and expansion.
