More heart, Less ego.
What a time we’re living in.
The pandemic, where truth begins pouring out.
What many have witnessed, lived, tried endlessly to communicate, awaken in others, is now WIDELY being received. “Finally…”, we say. “Flag it, report that, take it down, silence them!” they respond.
Walls of conditioned thinking and living start breaking down around us. Habitual activities, relationships, reactions, perspectives, lifestyles, all falling to our feet. A world of vulnerability, re-birth, un-learning, discovery, pain, love, etc. is happening right now. Have you been feeling the weight of the world pre or post-pandemic? Like living in a silent, solitary bubble. The more we come together, raise and amplify our voices, create community rather than exclude, judge, and hurt, the more we invite a world of beauty - pandemic or not. I’ve been feeling separation for years, as my previous posts discuss being an empath and spiritual tradesman in a city of go-go pace, proving our worth through our careers, titles, who we know, what we have, or who likes us. There’s no more room for that. Things are loudly shifting. We’re beginning to see the importance of being different, SELF-love, SELF-worth, SELF-reflection, and the knowledge it brings when we can share our authentic selves. No right or wrong. If a person chooses to live in their world, one you share an alternative perspective towards, allow them to. Find a community for things that are important to you, while sharing what you DO have in common with each other.
- Let’s get real -
HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE. Many have come forward lately about their mental health (we see you and honour you). Explaining the pain they’ve felt, insecurities, traumas, all these tender topics. At a time you would’ve turned away, open your heart instead (within respect to your boundaries). Find more reasons to show others they matter, rather than shut them down due to a fixed perspective of who they were or who you think they are. We are in full control of our response to any situation and/or outcome. Ditch that, “you can’t sit with us” attitude. If it’s possible to help, motivate, encourage, hold space, be a listening ear or a lending hand - DO IT. It could change their world and possibly yours. Let’s invite more compassion.
LET IT GO, RELEASE! Let the flood pour out, creating space for new to enter. We are continuously learning on this earth plane. To hold on means to self-sabotage. If you know it’s hindering you, know it’ll hurt, know it’s toxic, put an end to it. Give up unhealthy thought patterns or cycles that keep you locked in and the opportunities out. Most importantly, have patience with yourself. Certain things may be hard to remove due to our situation. Know you are supported and loved. Strip away limiting beliefs and conditioning to welcome in the blessings, no matter how uncomfortable the journey. Tune more into the heart than consumed by the mind.
BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD. This could be anything meaningful to you. How are you contributing to the change you want to see? Small progress is still progress, for those feeling like they could be doing more. The trick to creating a new habit, achieving a goal, or simply having the confidence to act is to start little by little. Commit every day until eventually, it becomes part of you. For myself, it’s meditation. This has been a struggle for years until finally deciding to make it a priority. From that one discipline came another, it brought connection through community, immense healing, and a huge shift to my inner and outer worlds. We are all different, experience provides more understanding and meaning to our lives. If it resonates so intensely that you feel it in your body, heart, and soul, keep thriving until you’re living and contributing as you wish the world would. Become that change.
MAKE TIME FOR THINGS YOU LOVE. This one is simple. If you enjoy it, keep doing it. Most people discover passions that bring awareness to who they truly are, not who they think they are. Be conscious of your surroundings where joy is present. Things that make you feel most alive and in alignment with your journey. An awakening of sorts, happiness, sincere exchange, a light within that turns on or sparks again after being in the dark. Continue to feed these connections and carefully witness your life transcend.
Especially now and hopefully always, less “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine” and more, “If I can, I will.”
If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading. Wishing everyone peace, abundance, health, and love.
Support who you can when you can. Slow down to connect with silence rather than trying to fill it. Be inclusive, invite others into communities you think they’d enjoy.
More love is the answer.
