Listen to this episode Here! ????
How do you feel when you wake up in the morning lately?
I’ve noticed that I wake up under the weight of a never-ending task list. I spend my mornings in my head, organizing, prioritizing and putting life’s puzzle pieces together.
I get a lot of satisfaction out of this. (Anyone else’s brain work like tetris?)
But, I’ve noticed that there’s an undercurrent of anxiety here. Kinda like, if I keep checking things off this task list, “it” won’t get me. I can keep “it” at bay.
What is “it?”
I’m not too sure yet.
But what I do know is that there are a lot of moving parts in my life right now. (You too?). Many big things in transition. So, perhaps my tetris brain feels some sense of control as all these things are on the move.
Perhaps this in and of itself is fine, but what about the underlying worry?
It’s like I’m watching an artist painting a mural and I’m unsure of how the big, red stroke of color she just made fits in. I can’t see the larger picture.
So I worry.
I let anxiety pool up inside my mind and body and fret about each brushstroke. I seem to forget that I can just sit back and trust that the artist will create the most magical masterpiece.
That I can surrender to the flow of the process.
And I forget that I am the artist.
And that I am creating this vision with the Universe.
Can you think of an area of your life where you are in the energy of worry lately?
What are you always trying to control? What are you always trying to organize?
Now breathe…
How can you invite in more trust?
How can you loosen your grip on all the details?
Trust the process.
Trust yourself.
Trust the flow.
Trust in the divine purpose of it all.
And how does that make you feel?
I Choose to Trust
The moment I woke up today,
The puzzle pieces called.
They wanted all my energy,
To finally be installed.
PAUSE
My mind gave all its attention,
To organizing their fit,
The bubbles of worry seeped in,
More than I care to admit.
PAUSE
Instead of diving head first,
Into the tasks at hand,
I took a pause and breathed deep,
And took a simple scan.
LONG PAUSE
It’s a brand new day,
The sun is out to play.
It’s a brand new start,
Live it with all your heart.
PAUSE
These are the words I heard,
When I took the time to pause.
They infused my soul with peace,
Dissolved those inner wars.
PAUSE
I felt my energy shift and open,
I suddenly felt the pull,
To live this day with the trust,
That I am already full.
LONG PAUSE
I am loved, I am worthy,
There’s no need to fill the holes.
Everything will work out fine,
Let go of all controls.
PAUSE
Let yourself feel the weight,
That you’ve been carrying around,
Dissolve into specs of sand,
Disappear into the ground.
PAUSE
Now hear that voice reminding you,
To surrender and to trust.
Decide today that you will live,
A life that is robust.
LONG PAUSE
It’s a brand new day,
The sun is out to play.
It’s a brand new start,
Live it with all your heart.
LONG PAUSE
Today, I Choose…
Today I’m making a few declarations, commitments to myself, and you’re welcome to join in with me if it feels right for you.
I choose to pause each morning and become aware of my energy.
I choose to remember who I am, so that I may move through my day aligned.
I choose to follow what feels good, and trust my intuition.
I choose to remember that I am the painter…the creator of my life. Each color, each brushstroke is up to me.
I choose to let go of the energy of worry and surrender to the energy of trust.
I would love to know what this brings up for you and how it applies to your life right now.
And, I would really appreciate you sharing your reviews on Apple Podcasts…let me know what meditations you loved, and perhaps some meditations you’d like more of.
???? I love you.
Namaste, Beautiful…????
