Words With Myself

Just because it is simple, doesn't mean it is easy and just because it's hard, doesn't mean it is not right. We place our own limits upon ourselves, fear blinds us and after years of repeating that something is impossible, it soon becomes it. Change the narrative, re-convince yourself of the possibilities. 

Healing is not a constant fight to fix what is broken within us, healing is learning that we were never broken to begin with. Healing is acceptance, accepting what has been, what is and what will be. Healing is living in the present moment, not being distracted with fighting a lifelong war with ourselves. Sometimes it takes doing it wrong, to figure out how to do it right.

Fear can be seen as something to remove or to avoid, but fear reveals to us the very things we must do to move closer to our purpose. Fear is there to keep us safe, but in modern society fear has gone into overdrive and become a force for enabling us to escape and run away from our destiny. What was once a tool to provide healthy consideration for personal safety has now spread to all areas of life. Fear may have prevented our ancestors from eating a poisonous berry, but it didn't stop them from eating.

Anxiety or Intuition? How can you tell the difference? Often we can feel like our intuition is guiding us to somewhere and our anxiety is pulling us away, though it can be difficult to decipher which is which at times. A gut instinct telling you not to do something, or anxious doubts eroding your self-belief? If you pay attention you will notice that intuition arrives as a statement and anxiety arrives as a question.

The problem with comfort is that it pair with anxiety, as we know that the comfort will soon come to an end. When we make our whole life suited to comfort, we worry that when this time comes we won't be able to handle it. Those that are used to being in uncomfortable situation do not feel this worry, as they know that they situations are certain and they must deal with them as they arise. It gives nothing to fear a certainty.

Sometimes we can get fixed on obtaining comfort when what we truly are seeking, is peace.

Can you demand the universe to give you what you want? Who are you to be making demands? This is a limiting belief many of us suffer with, feeling like we are not worthy of the things we desire, but just by you being alive you have demanded from the universe that it is to be so. Though, you must be careful what you wish for...

The common way, isn't necessarily the right way. We have to embrace our individualism and trust that we know what is best for ourselves. Too many times do people convince themselves not to take action because the fear what others will say, their judgments and their criticisms. Only when we truly understand that the path is wherever we decide to walk, can we truly be free.

When we begin our healing journey and attempt to let down the walls we have built around us, we can quickly become overwhelmed with feeling all the things we were previously suppressing. This can lead to sinking deeper and deeper into your own pain with no clear way out, but sometimes we have to sink to the bottom in order to push off and make it back to the surface.

During the course of my life, I have grown exceedingly more cautious with what I ask for from the universe. I have come to terms with the fact that actually, I might not always know what is best for me. The things that I am impatiently waiting for, if I had them now, maybe I would squander them. I am learning to trust the universe more and more, that what is right for me will come to me when the time is right, and what never comes was never meant for me anyway.
