Brain Dump : Faith

Until I learned what true faith was . .  I had NO idea just what all it could do for me.

I couldn’t even begin to comprehend the absolute freedom of surrender. Having faith is one of the most difficult things our EGO goes through. Having faith means listening. Considering. Stepping out of our comfort zone. Being 100% honest with yourself.

Faith isn’t just “Yeah, everything will be okay”.

Faith is stepping back and seeing that you’re experiencing some obstacles : obstacles that you turn into opportunities and become genuinely grateful for. Why? Because with true faith, you KNOW that God/The Universe has your back, no matter what. When you know that . . . When you TRULY KNOW that, obstacles aren’t even a thing anymore.

Faith is tapping into our infant minds, back when we didn’t worry about our basic needs being met. When we were infants, we didn’t worry about being fed, or clothed, or protected. We just asked and received. We didn’t doubt our caregivers were going to provide. Our souls were still young and full of faith.

As our human bodies “age”, the human/earth experience often times dissipates that faith. And all we focus on… is survival (which is why our ego is important). Thus leading to a lot of unfulfilled lives. Survival does not equal purpose.

True faith, takes knowing the difference between when your SOUL is talking… and when your EGO is talking.

When you start aligning yourself with your purpose and your soul, more and more things work out. 

You wanted that relationship to work out so, so bad, didn’t you? And you tried, and did everything you could, didn’t you? All while ignoring every flag that God sent you. The flags saying “Nu-uh. Not this one. Yours is on down the road.”

Your ego made you ignore those flags – because dammit, you wanted your soul mate right now, and you were even willing to change yourself to make it work. Changing yourself for someone else kicks you out of alignment though. When you ignored those flags, ‘poof’ went your faith. You lost your faith of God/The Universe knowing that there’s better out there for you, and you will receive it in divine timing.  

We think we want something in life, and get stuck having tunnel vision for it.. forgetting there is absolute abundance of other options out there for us and that really, the best is always yet to come.

Brain Dump : “Abandoned Hobbies”

I have a theory around abandoned hobbies… πŸ’‘
And it’s not entirely mind-blowing but, it’s proving itself so far. At least in my case.

What if… all the hobbies or side-skills that you were suddenly inspired to get into over the years were actually meant to be?

What if . . . Your life purpose is something that can be achieved through some of those hobbies/skills/talents when they’re combined? The ones you gave up on? Because you didn’t have enough time? Or money? Or /devotion/? Or you weren’t “good enough”? (Whatever the hell that means… πŸ™„)

What I’ve been working on for the past month . . . Has involved almost every single skill, hobby, or talent I’ve ever touched on in my life.

🌈 A brief overview : 🌈
Graphic Design
E-commerce
Writing
Spirituality
Minimalism
Herbalism
Parenting
Illustration
Web Design
Coding
Network marketing
Social media management
Fitness/Personal trainer

I’m sure there’s more that I’m forgetting. πŸ€” You get the point though. Everything is connected in one way or another. All of us are.

When we get those bouts of inspiration for something new, I’m convinced it’s a nudge from God/the Universe. A nudge to get us on the right track. And if we don’t follow through with them, a new one comes along.

Brain Dump : Letting Go of People

πŸ’« I was inspired to write this out today, so I pray it finds the person(s) that needs to read/hear it. πŸ’«

Its okay to out-grow people. Even the ones you care deeply about. Its okay to thank them for their involvement in your life and move on. Go about it gracefully, if you can.

I’ve come to the conclusion that outgrowing people is a symptom that YOU are growing as a person/soul, and that you’re on the right track to being the best version of yourself.

It’s unfortunate that it can be a painful thing to go through . . . Because you can really care about the people that you outgrow and really want the best for them.

BUT if they’re not ready to learn anything, or to be receptive to new ideas or ways of thinking or anything like that… letting them go is the best thing that you can do for them too.

You’ve done YOUR job, you’ve done YOUR part.
Hell, you never know how their life is going to turn out anyway.
You might’ve said something that struck them one day that they’re not going to remember instantly… BUT months or years down the road, it’ll click.
We don’t know the “how”, “what”, or “when” of how things are going to happen! You might run into them again and see that they’ve gone through some exponential growth.

The thing about it is, when you start trying and doing the best that you can in order to live your higher purpose…Guess what : when you outgrow these people and let them go..it serves your higher purpose, and it serves the universe’s higher purpose, and it serves their higher purpose. Whether or not they understand that…is not your job

Brain Dump : Trailer Plant Inspired Shadow Work

Today’s post is brought to you by…8 hours of working at a trailer plant. πŸ™Š

I think I’ve finally comprehended how important shadow work is, and what it brings after it. And it’s fantastic. Not fun, but the results are so so so worth it. You get rid of what’s blocking you from achieving your goals/desires and make room for them BY DOING shadow work.

Letting go of other things that not longer serve you is also a way to make more room/create that vacuum needed for growth. But things aren’t going to let you go until you’ve learned the lesson. Whatever it may be. If you try to let them go beforehand, they find a way to keep coming back into your life.

My latest breakthrough was from a “friend” of mine. And I am so so so grateful that she came into my life at this time, and was just the right person to teach me this lesson. She really taught me how to recognize my own triggers, which is essential for doing shadow work. She did this by constantly projecting onto others, and had ME walking on egg shells. Yeah, I know… I shouldn’t have put up with it for as long as I did (Is that how I made her feel..?). Besides that, our relationship was a clear display of the Law of Polarity, which helps a person realize what they do NOT want out of things like relationships, financial situations, careers, etc. πŸ‘€

Brain Dump : Gratitude

⭐ G R A T I T U D E ⭐

“Every Sunday I take time to reflect upon the week’s happenings and no matter if they’re good or bad (it’s all relative, really) I decide to focus on gratitude”.
Okay so, I don’t really do that. But I’d like to be the kind of person that does…I think… πŸ˜…
It sounds nice, right…?

From what I’ve noticed, when gratitude is actually genuine, the habit is easier to form. When it’s a habit, it’s obviously not as much of a chore… so you don’t have to or need to set aside time on purpose in order to express gratitude. Of course there’s nothing wrong with that but…

I’m one of the types that gets kinda stressed out by a to-do list… and adding something like “gratitude journal/reflection” at the end of an already busy week… honestly makes me not want to do it at all. πŸ˜• (Even if it’s just a 10 minute meditation for mindfulness)

In my opinion, it’s an absolute necessity though. So, I’m working on making it a habit.. even the little things… no, I’m serious. I’ve been thanking stop lights for staying green, y’all πŸ˜‚

When you express how thankful you are for everything, God sees that. The Universe matches that energy and knows you can handle more of it – so you wind up attracting even more of what you’re already grateful for.

With all that said, I wound up having some free time today, with NO internet access… so I did a few brain-dumps for some blog posts, wrote this caption, and actually wrote a gratitude journal entry. I’ll spare y’all the details, and share the summary : I’m grateful that I was born with infinite, divine worthiness. I’m grateful for being able to find a lesson to learn or positive outlook on otherwise negatively-seen circumstances and events. I’m grateful for the ability to ~gracefully~ let things go that no longer serve me, so that I can be grateful for the bigger & better things I now have space for. πŸ’–
