I want to share some insights that have come to me over the last few weeks. We are living in a time of a lot of chaos, turmoil, anger, injustices, inequality. Yet we each have the power to choose how we react to a situation. What I have been attempting to do is when I find myself overreacting to a situation, is to ask myself what is the situation attempting to show me about myself, about my beliefs about myself and about what may need to change in our society.
Take time to “sit with the feelings”, reflecting on other previous times you had those feelings. What was happening then in your life? Did you feel anger, guilt, shame, abandonment? As you gain the inner understanding and clarity, you allow the feelings to move through you and release the feelings to God/Source/Creator, freeing yourself to be more authentically you, not the you that parents, teachers, society molded you into. Be gentle and compassionate with yourself as you revisit those times in the past that you made the best decision at the time that you could given the understandings of yourself and societal norms you had at the time. Now you can make more self-empowered decisions to bring more love, joy, and abundance in all its many forms into your life.
