Realisations

This week I have had a bit of a wake up call, a lightbulb moment, acceptance I think I would call it. Having done a lot of mindset, personal growth and healing work, the one realisation I have come to is that I have been chasing consistent, everlasting happiness. Something I now know is possibly not available.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with creating, manifesting or choosing happiness, however I realised this week that happiness is not a consistent emotion. We cannot be in that state 100% of the time, in fact we cannot stay consistent in any emotion for a prolonged period of time. Emotions and feelings come in waves, I guess that's why they call it the ‘eb and flow’ of life.
As you know and have surely experienced that life is a series of ups and downs, in and outs, light and dark. When we are in the low moments we think we will never get out of them and when we experience the highs we often don’t immerse ourselves in it for the fear of it being over quickly.
What if acceptance is all we need in order for life to be a little lighter, freer, happier? What if the aim was to understand that when you experience an emotion you must fully allow your body to experience knowing that it won’t last forever?
Get excited, fulfilled, ecstatic and really allow yourself to feel this high vibrational energy knowing that it won't last forever. You will definitely crave and experience it again but also allow your body to move through and feel the emotions of sadness, anger, fear or resentment and know that this too shall pass.
Life is tough at times and we often stay stuck in an emotion a little longer than we need too. We crave all of the good but what if we just accepted where we were at? Life has taught us to numb our feelings, hide from our truths and in turn that see's us entering a pool of shame, guilt, fear and becoming confused about who we are. We lose sight of what we truly desire, what makes us happy and we often repeat this cycle again and again.
Today consider concentrating feeling good, shift your state, realign your energy, get creative, lift your vibration and ask yourself:
What makes you happy?
What makes you feel safe?
In order to accept who we are we need to feel safe, grounded and supported. This has to start from within and this happens by accepting who we are, where we are and what is going on for us without judgement or criticism.
Take one action that can change your state of mind, even if only for a couple of minutes. A couple of minutes is better than none. If in doubt write a list of all the things you are grateful for in life.
