Last week I shared a few videos on how to add a bit more self-care into every single day. It seems fitting since this week I need not only a little, but it seems quite a lot.
I am moving through a period of transformation not just in my business, but also in my personal life. I am uncovering another layer of who I am and learning to be with whatever comes up which for me can be a pretty emotional process. You see, I am realizing that some of the lessons I thought I learned (and incidentally mastered) are resurfacing for deeper clearing and healing. It’s like going through college and taking Psych 101 and moving onto Psych 205. More info, more processing, more to integrate into everyday living.
So here I am in the center of what I call for my clients a ‘blissful breakthrough‘ though I am not quite at the bliss yet. I’m still in the uncovering, releasing, and accepting phase. Loosening old thoughts that have been lodged in my psyche for as long as I can remember. Letting go of the crud that has weighed me down over the years and releasing the expectation that the world must shift in order for me to stay present, be successful, and happy.
As far as shifts go, I know them well. I have gone through many periods of growth followed by long periods of plateau and here I am in the growth phase once again. And in my experience after the emotional upheaval that may come, the silence, and the shift comes incredible clarity.
It’s almost like being in the middle of a treacherous storm. Heavy rain, powerful wind, and old debris falling away only to be followed by the most amazing sunrise that only comes after a powerful storm.
The storm is your breakthrough. The sunrise is your bliss. Moments like these remind me why I am able to do the work I do. It’s because I get it. I’ve been there and am still learning, growing, and evolving.
As for the current lesson, I am allowing and not fighting it. Accepting it and not resisting it because I know what lies on the other side of this and I have a choice. I can fight it, hide it, and ignore it or I can accept it, allow it, and choose to see the sunrise again. I choose the sunrise. Because even on the darkest day, with heavy rain, and crazy wind, I know the sun will rise again.
And while I am being a bit tight-lipped about the specifics of the lesson and my current situation, I want you to know this: Lessons in life are inevitable, but even with them all you get to decide how you feel, what you do, and what you want out of life. So decide what you want and be willing to experience the lessons along the way and heal what needs to be healed. It is there you will find your bliss.
