So yesterday was pretty powerful. I am not sure it is over yet, especially with the 16 day committment that we made to ourselves, which I believe is great. I need to continue and remind myself of what I discovered yesterday. I don't know about you, but it was the hardest and most uncomfortable day of this effort. I believe this is natural as we uncover this top layer of our inner world. Are you ready for whatever comes next? I am....
Ah, they say today the tide turns. Can you imagine or estimate how much time and energy we spend (waste) in trying to avoid, change, fix or deny our feelings? Especially those ones that hurt us to the core - like hurt, jealousy, loneliness, shame, rage and grief? More soberering perhaps is the thought that somewhere along the line we decided we had to handle all of this on our own.
Today, invoke the agent of change known as Surrender and create an environment of tolerance and space within yourself. Easier said than done.... Debbie says to surrender to our emotions and simply allow them to exist. Apparently if we stop resisting them, we will realize they are our friends. They are our soul's way to communicate with us and are meant to guide and inform us. She says when we allow our emotions to be as they are, something magical happens (I could use some magic).. .she says they pass right through you. The moment you surrender and allow them, they will be transformed into fuel for our soul. (It can't really be this simple can it???)
Imagine your resistance to your emotion is based on fear. (Good assumption I'd say). Tune into the voice of fear and listen to the judgements you hold on these emotions, then write down everything you hear yourself saying & thinking.
Like every day so far, what action step can you take to further support yourself in your goals? Can you do it today? If not, put it in your schedule so you don't forget, and make it a priority. For your inside part, what do you need to do to feel the way you want to feel once you have accomplished your goal? Do you remember what that is like? Find out, find a way to remember... today.
I have heard from a few of you that even today you are not quite done with yesterday. Don't worry, take this at your own pace, it isnt a race. If it takes you 31 days to do the 21 day consiousness cleanse, that is ok, this is your own personal journey.
That said, I agree with you. Yesterday and today have been pretty big, so I will leave Sun Tzu until tomorrow so you can have the time you need to centre yourself and be ready to move forward. But try to remember to surrender to the process....
