Aligning With Your Worth And Truth
Three thoughts:
You will be offered things that do not match up with your actual worth. Whether it’s in life or in business, there will be times where you have to say no to something that seems pretty good for the chance at something better. When you harness the power of being okay with walking away, you are actually reaffirming your true value and opening doors you may not yet see. Something is not right for you if you know deep down you will regret it in a few weeks or months. Normally, your intuition will jump at an opportunity that is meant for you, it will not need a lot of convincing or pondering; you will feel the click and know that this is the next chapter of your story that is starting to unfold. Saying no to things that do not honor your worth may feel like a great risk, but you are better off moving forward with patience so that the right people and opportunities have time to fully intersect with your path.
When you take your healing seriously, you have to be selective with who you give your time to. The people you are around will undoubtedly affect you. Moods do not just sit within us, they impact our thoughts, words, actions and set the tone for the energy in a room. Not only should you be aware of the energy you are giving off, but also the energies that you are allowing into your space. Ultimately, it is your perception and reactions that condition your mind and have the biggest impact on how you feel, but you do not help yourself by entering environments that feed old patterns you are working on breaking. Distancing yourself from situations that weigh you down is essential if you want to protect the new you that you are in the midst of cultivating. You can do this in a way where you can honor your truth and also not be rude. By saying “I’m sorry, this is not for me” or “that wouldn’t be good for me right now” you let those around you know where you are at. Some people may resist these changes because they are still reveling in the old habits you are working on undoing. In time, as you learn how to manage your reactions, what people say or do will have less of an impact on you. Being able to move through life while staying in alignment with how you want to feel and behave is a sign of great maturity.
Everything changes when you realize that the challenge itself isn’t the toughest part, it is your reaction to the challenge that is filling your mind with tension and struggle. Before you can set yourself free, you first need to understand how you make things harder for yourself. Many do not realize how they get stuck in a reactive loop, always allowing their perception of external events to dictate how they feel, without fully accepting that their real power emerges from training their mind to observe. If you spend more time observing instead of reacting, you start to notice how the absence of reaction also means the absence of tension. You spent your whole life reacting, until you finally brought awareness into your mental state and intentionally switched over to observing – don’t expect your ability to observe to become perfect overnight. It takes time and intention to break a habit that has been repeated countless times. Observation is not passive, it is the essential step you must take before you can act skillfully.
