It isn’t unheard of to take one step forward and two steps back. It also isn’t always fun. And it does happen.
I am thinking that this is life. These roads heavily travelled and less travelled are all a part of life. Some are supposed to feel better and happier than others. It is ‘helpful’ to know what yucky feels like to know what wonderful feels like.
We humans have a way of labeling. What if ‘yucky’ and ‘wonderful’ are just labels and the circumstances are neither. Is this a possibility in the far reaches of our minds…
What if the position(s) we find ourselves in are just a part of our journey and everything is okay. What if we are not supposed to feel ‘okay’ all the time.
In our okay-ness, we don’t create and open to new ways. In our not okay-ness, we look to create and open to new ways.
Oh the conundrum of being human…
Beating ourselves up for not being in a happier state of mind could just keep us in an unhappy state of mind. What if we could just notice what we are feeling; allow what we are feeling; go with what we are feeling; process what we are feeling and watch it leave. Our feelings always change in the current moments of time.
We can get stuck in feelings from the past but we do not have to. Especially when we process them as they arise; we feel them and let them go. We don’t hold onto them. This is my most enjoyable way to display and feel my feelings. Feel them and let them go.
And, it doesn’t always work. What if when it doesn’t work, it is because it is not supposed to… What if it works all in divine timing…
May you let you feel, be, process whatever comes up for you. May you let it be okay when you take one step forward and two steps back.
It is just a part of life. We all do it. We all experience it. We can have a judgment and label it or we can let it be what it is. Let us be who we are.
As long as we are open to doing our best; from the most loving place available to us, in the moment, maybe it is okay.
Just what if we let these ‘steps’ be our ‘dance’ in the moment. As we feel stuck, stay open to our stuck-ness. May we know that we will eventually get unstuck. In a moment in the future, we will be taking big leaps.
It is what we humans do. Stay open to knowing when the possibility of same is here to grab onto and leap. Stay open to miracles. Stay open to possibilities showing themselves. Stay open to trying anew. Stay open to things that you have tried in the past and didn’t work then. Stay open.
‘Staying alive’ and dancing onward just may be the best thing we can do. Breathing might be enough in some moments.
You will reach mountaintops. You have in the past and you will again.
It is how we humans journey through life.
May you not be so hard on yourself. May you believe in the journey that shows itself to you. May you believe in the path that you are currently experiencing.
May you trust the process of life and trust yourself that you will know when you are supposed to know. In the meantime, see and feel the beauty that is present in your life. It is always there. Sometimes, we just have to look a bit more strenuously to see it.
May you know the beauty of you. May you experience the beauty of you. May you believe in the glorious journey that is yours just now.
You may be in a learning phase. You may be in an experiencing phase. You may be in a doing phase. You may be in a stuck phase. You may be in a joyful phase. You certainly are in.. [may you let it be so] just what is and who you are.
It is all okay. Breathe and love anyway.
