Normally I have a set topic I talk about with this podcast, but today I'm going to speak freely and express whatever comes to mind.
Maybe it'll alter something deep within you that'll change the course of your life (wouldn't that be pretty sweet), or maybe it'll just make you think for a second before you go about your day… Which in that case, I hope you have a great rest of your day.
But, I want to talk about you for a second...
How did you wake up this morning? Did you wake up excited to do the things you planned last night? Did you wake up feeling completely content to another day in this life? Or, did you wake up angry, startled, and immediately stressed?
I'm going to guess and say you woke up immediately stressed with whatever you have to do today. It's weighing on your mind, amongst a million other things you wish you had control over, but you don't.
You don't have control over anything but yourself.
So, let's take a moment and look at you.
Feel you.
Wherever you are, I want you to close your eyes (unless you're driving then please wait until you’re in a safe place) with your feet on the ground in a relaxed position, and I want you to feel your body. Feel your breath move in and out of your chest. As we talked about in previous episodes, the Pneuma we breathe in animates our entire body, so feel your body come alive with each breath you take, and notice what comes up for you.
Where do your thoughts tend to stray to? If it's stress, if you're worried about something in the future, I want you to look at it head on, feel that perceived problem, and tell it, "In this moment, I do not care. In this moment, I am focused on me and I allow everything to go. In this moment, I am allowed to be; and in this moment, I am me."
Allow the stress to slowly ease out of your body with each exhale.
Today is Wednesday; Wednesday's are ruled by the planet, Mercury, and Mercury is all about communication which includes our nervous system. Our nervous system is how we communicate with reality and how we perceive things and understand life. So, today of all days is a great day to nourish your nervous system; to make sure you feel relaxed with every step you take and every decision you make. You're calm, you're at peace, and you know exactly what you need to do because you relinquish control over everything except yourself.
You don't need to control everything. You don't need to know what comes next. You just need to be open to love and new possibilities. Anything and everything can happen in a single moment. There's nothing for you to do or try to control, all you have to do is be you and be at peace with you... with who you are.
You know, you're here for a reason. You were born into this life for a reason, regardless of the trials and troubles and stress and trauma that you've endured in this life.
You are here to do beautiful things. You are here to make the world a better place in a way that you know best. Whether that's being the next tech genius and figuring out a way for humanity to be free from the shackles of corporations, or whether you're here to be a healer and aid in the balance of people's health and livelihood, or whether you're here to be a beautiful mother to beautiful children.
Whatever you're here to do, it's meaningful. It's impactful. It's needed.
You are needed in this life.
So, just sit with yourself for a second, and give yourself some love for being you. See yourself from the outside and send yourself love. Send yourself gratitude for continuing to show up even when you don't want to.
There are so many reasons why life is hard and feels borderline impossible at times; life can really weigh on you, but it's in those moments where life shows you what you're capable of. You're capable of so many beautiful things. Give yourself the opportunity to experience life and all it has to offer without control, without needing to know what's going to happen next.
Trust in yourself.
Trust you know what to do. Trust in your body to take care of you. Trust in your God-given abilities. Trust everything will work out in your favor.
You know, that's what they don't teach you in school, in university, in the workforce... they don't teach you to trust yourself, they teach you to get your answers from an outside source. They teach you to rely on something outside of yourself to know what's best for you. But, I'm here to tell you, you know what's best for you.
This past Monday we had a Full Moon in Scorpio. Scorpio is the Zodiac Sign of transformation, death and rebirth. Death to giving your power away to an outside source. Death to making yourself small. Death to fear running your life 24/7. That's not to say you won't feel fear, fear will always be there, but no longer will it rule you and make your decisions for you. Transform fear-based living and trust in yourself. Trust in your capabilities. Trust in the Universe, as it has your back. It's on your side.
Life conspires for you.
So, what do you want from it?
What do you want from your own life? Are you here to listen to what other people tell you, or are you here to listen to yourself?
You get to make that decision.
