You Are Not Alone
Disclosure - I want to share my journey because I know that if I have had a transformational experience there are other people who have also experienced similar things. Part of the healing process I believe is to help others and I think a powerful way to do this is to share our experiences. I have spent years letting go of old stories, I know the importance of mindfulness, self care, and forgiveness to name a few of my daily practices. Most importantly I know the power that we all are and it is so much more than we think we are.
The more I work on myself and clear out the clutter of my mind and my past the lighter I feel. I no longer have the need to prove myself. I just know when to share and I am confident when I share. I encourage others to clear out that clutter. Don’t be afraid of the shadows or the darkness. It really is all part of the process. And FDR was absolutely correct when he said that there is nothing no thing to fear but fear itself.
Loneliness. What can I say, I think we have all been lonely at some point in our lives. It doesn’t matter if you have people around you or not. When I started my journey of change I felt lonely many times and I can understand why people give up but I just could not give up, no matter how lonely or how much pain I was experiencing. Shawn Mendes has a song In My Blood, he says “sometimes I feel like quitting, but I just can’t, it isn’t in my blood”. Yes some things are just in our blood, they are in our soul. These things are are so much more than just our feelings, it is a knowing.
You can doubt your feelings because feelings come and go. It is different when you know something. When you know something you just know it!! Know what I mean here? I read the other day that knowing comes from our soul and that is different than feelings.
I took a class over a decade ago and one of the things that people shared was that they felt they were alone. The facilitator said yes it is true you are alone and you have to come to terms with that fact. What she said has stayed with me for so many years. Today I know different. We are all connected on a soul level. So we are never alone. Our minds will try to isolate us so that we feel alone so that we give up on things, even give up on life.
I was reading a post from someone in a group that I belong to on FB and they were saying that it is our soul that knows, our soul does not need proof. That rings true for me also. Our mind is where doubt lives, our ego needs to trick us into feeling alone so that we are constantly doubting, constantly needing to get stuff outside of ourselves to make ourselves feel better. It is that restlessness that humanity suffers from.
There is a way out. The solution comes from within. Learn to be still. When we practice stillness we hear the truth, the truth of who we are and the truth of why we are here. It is time to live a better life. It is time to step into our truth, our power. It is time to unite and help each other. There are enough resources and we are enough. We can help others and we can help our planet heal.
Love and blessings!
