Daily Stream of Consciousness…
Today is a fresh new beginning, as all other days! I’ve been finding such comfort writing daily in my journal each morning after meditation. It’s a peaceful start which I find very grounding, and it allows me to up open up my heart namely with gratitude for all that I have. For all of you entreprenuers, I completely see you and send you VIRTUAL HIGH-5’s! It’s been quite a few years, keeping up with PPP’s, EDD, EIDL….taxes, the list goes on! Yes, but deep breath, you got this. None of us are ever alone, if we give compassion to others, we’ll receive it in return.
It’s so easy for us to fixate and get tripped up on thoughts that truly do not serve us. With all of the mindfulness jargon and social media posts these days, it’s all so distracting. We’re still in the driver’s seat to manage our own internal environment. It’s a pretty vast, deep, open internal landscape residing within us. As those who listen to my meditations are used to me saying, the more centered and whole we can feel on the inside, the less our external environment draws out negativity or stress dragging us down. So gardening the weeds of our mind is paramount, and with that comes what we ALLOW in. I’m so mindful of every single thing I digest from news to other’s energy.
In a world full of over-sharing and filling every day to the brim, to simply feel productive on the “way to success”, I often find myself most peaceful sitting still, and being with myself. ALL OF ME. I refine and work to fine-tune any self-limiting beliefs, residue from years ago, that I’ve managed to kick to the curb. But daily spiritual practices are key to keeping our vessel running optimally. It’s a lifestyle, not a practice. Our vigilence to self, and tending to our innermost needs. Checking in with yourself, and asking yourself the real questions around happiness and fulfillment? Are you spending your days truly doing what feels aligned? And doing our best to fill our life with things simply JUST FEEL GOOD. Because from the feelings of “goodness” internally, that vibrant positive vibration is echoed out into the universe and a springboard to bringing MUCH MORE OF THAT FEELING ! ! ! So yes, in theory, if you decide to carve out time to daydream and create mood boards of your dream kitchen, with all of the fixings and aspiring brands with which you hope to decorate! The chances of it showing up in real life are much bigger. Our thoughts truly become our reality. It should be a mandatory BILLBOARD hanging in all of our homes! ha. Starting small each day is a win. And remember, we don’t have to know all the answers? It’s the journey precisely of surrendering and allowing our life to unfold that is the biggest gift of all. If you become vulnerable, raw, and authentic with yourself in all that you do each moment on the planet. Opportunities and surprises will delight you, and only you, as they will have been perfectly orchestrated for you, and your life only.
This morning I sat in meditation and imagined my future wishes that have been within my core for years, and while I’ve stumbled too many times to count, and found myself at major obstacles in life like us all, I remind myself to simply focus on taking 1 step. Sure, I could easily lament of the fact that I beat myself up for not birthing it sooner, and why it’s felt delayed, or why heartbreak knocked me onto the ground harder than ever before and caused me to derail a bit………but isn’t necessary. Instead, I break down the what seem insurmountable tasks into small areas and just begin each day with a fresh lens. And if it feels aligned with our highest good, we proceed. And the dance continues beautifully, listening to the sound of your soul echoing it’s true nature forth. And that’s the precious light within, the divine force, our center of soul, shining brightly like two headlights forward on our life path. As long as we listen to our heart and soul, the glow will continue. And while at times it may feel dim, or even turned off altogether, rest assured it’s ALWAYS there, and through our daily rituals and connecting on a deeper level with self, we never lose sight of the hope, the love, the belief that we’re moving towards what’s meant for us. But it requires our patience to do the inner work each day, the non-egoic work, of being the quintessential observer of our own mind, allowing the portal of energy to channel through us.
I walked on the beach this am, just toes in the sand, carrying my hot fresh coffee in hand. It was breezy, so the feeling was fresh and clean. Even the sand felt firmer, stronger, and thankful for the hydration of the fog and mist of earlier hours. Listening to the waves always moves me, and the rythymn of our breath, our life, our days, is a choice, a mindset that we personally chose. Today, chose FAITH and courage, to move through the world as authentically as possible.
I’ve been on quite a path especially these past 6 years since moving to SoCal. I completely uprooted my outdated self and belief systems, and traded it in for a newer, stronger more energetically sound individual. Who’s self worth and love has grown bigger than any tree I’ve ever seen, through many many hours of deep reflection- yoga and meditation. Spending much more time solo than ever in life, while simultaneously igniting my entrepreneurial spirit and working for myself. It’s been some of the hardest years of growth, but the richest in terms of self development, knowing who I’am at the core, and what I stand for. We are all connected. We are all one. We are all part of the universe. It is all an energy exchange, and realizing we’re not in the driver’s seat but co-creators of our experience is a foundation I believe in so strongly.
As I evolve, I feel proud knowing my true authentic self- ALL OF ME- will be in it. Meditations and light sessions, designing one of a kind pieces, and creating a tribe of soulful individuals who are struggling to align with the light within. It’s all within us. We are hole. And always remember, there is no one else in the world like you. Celebrate who you are and stand tall. Be proud.
We are not in competition. There is an invitation of infinite abundance and love waiting for all us. For today’s take away, I’m adding my absolutely favorite book, one that has changed profoundly the way I think and conduct the inner workings of my life. Wayne Dyer’s “Change your thoughts to change your life”. He is a gem, and the intrepretations of the Tao De Ching he compiles are life-changing.
All of my light,
Meg
