I was feeling very much in my head this morning. Judging myself. Telling myself what I “should” do. Shaming myself for what I wasn’t wanting to do. Do I meditate, read, write, go for a walk…? But, there are “things” to be done. Ha…! Healing, self-love, and self-care deserve time and energy too (more on breaking the paradigm of ‘doing’ on another post)
For me, the best way to get out of my head, get clarity, and connect with my higher self, God, The Universe, Divine, and connect with my guides is to get outside (I needed everyone on board today). It’s as though no matter where I am I step into another dimension and have a direct connect conversation with the infinite mind. I know that in taking care of me, everything else gets taken care of.
This morning my own mind was like being on gerbil wheel – thoughts going nowhere. Wanting to connect back to faith and trust, I stepped out the door. Being really adamant about needing clarity and direction I set my intention before I left. I needed guidance. I’ve always had it in front of me… now I don’t know.
Not knowing is uber uncomfortable for anyone who believes they really have control over anything.
This walk was really about that… surrendering, remembering I’m right where I’m meant to be, my highest and best is always taken care of… and I’m not really in control of anything but my own mind and thoughts.
Taking care of my physical, emotional, and spiritual body, I put my sneakers on and off I went. Not far down the road I come across a penny. Pennies and dimes – my sign I’m not alone (#angelswhispers – follow me on Instagram). Okay Angels, I’m ready! Whatcha got?
Around the corner I come upon an elderly neighbor working in his yard.
“Good afternoon” I say.
Standing in his ‘I’m 60’ celebratory t-shirt, he happily greats me back. After a pause and as I’m a few steps ahead he says “You’re going uphill”.
I say “I know…” (I knew this was related to what I needed to hear)
His reply “You’ve got to go downhill”
Me “I don’t know where it is”
Him “Me either”
Laughing my ass off inside…. Thank you, Spirit. I hear you. There is an easier way. I KNOW there is. It’s one of my natural gifts – to find the way of ease and effortlessness.
The rest of my walk spent intending to release struggle, intending to bring ease and effortlessness to my healing process, intending to bring peace to my mind, intending to flow downhill…
And what came to me was “You need to go up hill to know the way of going down hill”.
Which do you choose?
* When it comes to relationship?
* When it comes to money?
* When it comes to self-love?
* When it comes to career?
* When it comes to your own process?
Do you choose uphill or downhill? Because when you know both ways, you get to choose. There is where your power lies – in choosing for yourself.
On the way back, my wise earth Angel was stepping back out of his garage exclaimed “YOU FOUND IT!”. Yes, yes I did. Thank you. And I choose differently.
