I actually posted this last year; when it was presented in today's "FB Memories," I had to refresh it and repost it. We benefit checking in, on and with ourselves regularly ~ doing so supports our evolution and can help us avoid stagnation and making the same decisions by rote vs. contemplative thought.
Here it is; I hope you'll really read it for yourSelf.
Life isn't shaping-up the way you envisioned?π€
Things seem to be heading a bit more "left" than right?
Maybe the choices and decisions, even the goals and aspirations, you may have previously set or embraced had/have a season which has passed.
Possibly those choices and decisions were perfect at the time, but we all know, the times change, and so do we; we evolve.
It doesn't necessarily have to mean it was a "bad" decision, so don't spin your wheels beating up on yourself, or waste more of your precious time and energy justifying a prior choice or attempting to force a fit.
I'm not suggesting you quit; not at all.
I am offering a suggestion for your consideration:
- Extending Grace to your Self, simply step back.
- Breathe your way into a calm mind, filled with Self-compassion.
Once there:
- Challenge Your Prior Choices and Decisions
-- Ask yourself, "Would you make the same ones?"
Since this is between You and You (and hopefully you're on Your side and absent of excessive ego or a "forceful" determination to be right) lay the unkind, self-judgmental thoughts aside and be totally honest with You.
Maybe you answered, "No." If so, maybe now's the time to revisit the original goal/vision. If it now seems, "dead wrong," do what you need to do.
Quite possibly you answered: "Yes, but I lost sight and could have tweaked my direction along the way."
If so, ask: What adjustments can I make to put things back on the right track? Then be about the business of doing just that. Use no energy covering anything up, justifying, denying; use all your energy and focus to do whatever you identified as helpful in getting things back on track.
We have permission to change our minds, and a responsibility to our current and future selves, to course correct when needed.
There are "Seasons" to life, you have permission, and a responsibility to pivot, change, adapt, adjust, recalibrate, recall, reclaim and reset as needed.
Do what you need to keep growing, evolving and bringing in more love, joy, inner-peace, calm and Soul-satisfaction.
In case you feel you need one, here's your undated "Permission Slip," it is reusable - no limit. π
Welcoming Better,
