Now that we have taken responsibility for ourselves and our lives, it is important to set ourselves to succeed by preparing for the support we will need. (But hate to acknowledge or ask for)
We have spent so much time being afraid of not being liked, being wrong, being vulnerable and all that has done, is prevent us from getting to know who we really are. Up to now, it is our own personal "arrogance" that has kept us in this place. But it is time to release that.
Arrogance typically means control. This is the day when we learn to release control of trying to manage our thoughts, beliefs and actions. As we have changed perceptions before, we are going to do it again. Instead of wasting time and energy fighting it, pushing our inner self away, today we learn to ask those thoughts, beliefs and actions, what they are here for and how they may guide us, serve us. If you are open and willing, ask to be guided by something larger - whatever that is, is just for you. Whether it is God, energy, the universe - whatever you call it is fine. It is simply allowing yourself to be supported, as no one person can do everything.
It is about being open and acknowledging that being supported isnt a weakness and allowing help, support and love into our lives, is a gift we can give ourselves. Being humble, adding humility into our lives will free that space inside of us that has been so busy being "arrogant". Most likely "protecting" us from getting to know ourselves. See how this is a waste of time?
Beyond asking whatever you believe in to support you, you are freeing the space within you to allow it to happen. Giving up the fight you are so used to fighting will be challenging, as it most likely won't go in peace. Your ego is strong and has served you well or you would not be here now.
This is the time to thank your ego/arrogance for all it has done for you, to thank it for its past service and let it know it no longer needs to serve you in that way. The easiest way I know to do this, is to think of something or someone, other than yourself. Something that you connect to, that is larger than you. This will enable you to become your higher self. Ego and arrogance keep you in your lower self, the one limited by beliefs etc., The self we have been working to release for the past 10 days.
Some may say this agent of change is surrender and perhaps humility is, but if it allows you to get to the next stage, it is a gift. Today our goal is to release that judgement that holds us in a place of ego.
Think (or write) all of the situations, people etc., that you hold judgement on or about. Then think of what this is costing you, time and energy wise. What you attract to you from being in this place. What you hold on to from this place. The imbalance will be clear. You can release it by taking a moment, staying in that space each time this fear based emotion comes up and ask for the goodness, kindness, patience and humility to open your heart, rather than close it.
What are the things you need to release today to get to this place of openness? Who can you ask to support you? Allow them to share your burden or remove it all together?
Obviously this is on many levels, but you choose what is right for you, for today. Revisit as many times as you need to. This is a big one.
