Hello everyone! I hope this finds you well. I know right now , in the current state of the world, it’s hard to find wellness , be it physical or mental or emotional or spiritual, but I hope today is treating you well and remember, even in the darkest days of humanity; there is always light!
I felt compelled to write another blog entry today based on something I learned in therapy awhile ago about myself . And that’s how to recognize my feelings in order to then acknowledge those feelings so I can ultimately face them, whatever they happen to be. Feelings are what this life we are living is all about. Feelings by themselves aren’t good or bad. They just are. They evolve inside of us until they release or revels themselves to us. Sometimes they bring us negative light and energy , sometimes they bring us positive light and energy. What matters is we come to these feelings openly and honestly and with no blinders on because what determines our behavior is how we react to the feelings we feel. The behavior we exhibit is what is good or bad. That is what matters and what we have to focus on evolving , and where we must grow. So here’s the process of enlightenment on that way to growth according to me and my experience. I hope this can help you on your journey through this human experience we call life.
I feel something, I can’t even describe what that something is , but I feel it stirring inside of me. It’s still not enough to make my conscious self aware and awaken, but it’s somewhere beyond buried in my subconscious. So I let it churn and stir and simmer until it’s ready to reveal itself to me. In due time, it will. I simply allow myself to acknowledge this stirring of the consciousness, accept it is happening and trust that when it’s ready , I’ll know what it means. I don’t deny this stirring or run away from it in fear of what it might mean. I don’t overthink or overanalyze this stirring either. It is what is and will become what it is supposed to be when it is ready. I also don’t let it drive me crazy. Because that’s where overthinking and over analysis gets you.
It leads to obsession, which leads to stress, which leads to depression. So I don’t allow it to have that kind of power. I dictate the terms of how I let it effect me, even when it’s churning uncontrollably inside of me. The way I describe this process is “let it go and let flow”. Let whatever needs to happen transpire. Control what you can control (your reaction and your behavior). And just let that simmer become a boil and see what it cooks up! Usually it’s positive and brings me some newfound sense of joy and peace. Sometimes it isn’t . But it always brings me enlightenment and growth! Always. And that is what this human experience called life is all about. It’s why we are here. To find out purpose and to give meaning to our existence, and the way to do that is to become the best versions of ourselves. We do that through growth. And we have to allow ourselves to become enlightened . Sometimes that takes a long time. We can’t fully grasp the lesson for weeks, months, sometimes even years. But that feeling stirring inside of you is enlightenment waiting to explode . It will always reveal itself on its timeline. So sit back, let it go and let it flow. Trust in the process of enlightenment and soul enrichment. You won’t regret the wisdom and knowledge it will bring you. The self awareness you’ll possess will become so profound, you won’t be able to deceive yourself and the doors this will unlock to you will be untold , as will the riches on the other side of those doors. Feelings are feelings. You will feel them no matter what. The more you try to deny them, or run from them , the more they control you. Feelings are fine. Feel them. Whatever they may be. Don’t allow your behavior to be controlled by your feelings. Facts are this: feelings don’t care what you think or want . They are their own entity. They exist on their own. Give them time to flow inside of you and then allow them to simmer until they explode out of you. This is enlightenment. And this is how you find yourself onto the path to inner peace and authentic joy.
I hope this finds you inspiration and courage along the path you are on. I believe in you. Stay strong and carry on.
Until next time,
This is the world according to me
Mel
