⋆‧°𓏲ּ right now I am going through what seems to be a spiritual awakening and I feel like I'm going crazy. I have been a Christian for the past 3 years, but recently I have been questioning my faith. My mother has always been spiritual, and now I've found my way to spirituality as well. Because of this, I am going to write about a few things I deeply believe in, that are not Christian values.

⋆‧°𓏲ּ dreaming is messages or warnings from a higher power, and are used to process subconcious emotions. This may sound crazy, but I believe that every single person is sent from a higher power to learn lessons. Until you learn all the lessons you are supposed to before you "level up" and leave earth, you are reborn. It's the same thing as people saying the "universe is testing me".... the universe is testing you. This higher power, the universe, God, whatever you choose to call it, is testing you to see if you have learned your assigned lessons. This comes back to dreaming because dreams are warnings about paths you are taking in life, they are messages and guidance from the higher power.

⋆‧°𓏲ּ I have recently started believing in parallel universes. Dreaming is so much more than just a movie in our heads. I’ve started to believe that when we sleep, we are in a different world, like a parallel universe where another version of us is living. It’s like our soul is a radio, and dreams are the frequency where we see how our "lessons" are playing out in other realities. Which is where the warnings or messages from a higher power come back, we see how our "lessons" are happening in our dreams, and sometimes scary things happen in those dreams, which can be interpreted as a warning.

⋆‧°𓏲ּ Beyond the parallel worlds, I believe dreams are the safest place to process our deepest subconscious emotions. It’s where the higher power shows us the truth about how we feel. A lot of people (including me) try to ignore their emotions or push them down because they can be a lot to handle, but dreaming forces you to process them, whether you realize it or not.

⋆‧°𓏲ּ I don't know how to explain this part fully, but I will try my best. I very much believe in God, but I do not see him as a giant man in the sky, but rather the divine breath of life and existence on this planet and of this universe. I do believe in praying to a higher power and miracles, but I also believe in meditating and mindfulness as a sacred way of connecting to higher vibrations. I don't believe in god as a person, I believe in god as the entire universe. I see god as the universe instead of an entity, as love and hope and energy, but I do not think he is a conscious being. I feel god's strength and love through me but I see it through the universe rather than a church or an organized religion.

I'm writing down these things because I hope it can resonate with someone feeling similar things or thinking similarly. I can do another more in-depth version in a later time. I can try and explain better on that one.

For me, it can be REALLY hard to get off of screens. You get preocupied with social media, and it can be really hard to get off even when you want to. So if you are struggling with the same thing as me, here are some hobbies I started doing to reduce my screen time

⋆‧°𓏲ּ 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑔𝑎.

Yoga is superrr relaxing for me, it makes me stretch and my blood flow after being in bed all day. I just put on a youtube vide that demonstrates the yoga positions. Yoga also makes me more flexible, and can reduce bloating, which are both rlly good benefits!! Just a 10 minute video session is amazizng for you.

⋆‧°𓏲ּ 𝐽𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔.

Journaling is pretty much what I'm doing right now, except this is my digital diary! Journaling is rlly good for your mental health. You realize a lot about how you feel and you get more clarity on your feelings, at least I do. If you just hate writing, start scrapbooking! Just get random things, gum wrappers, receipts, concert/game tickets, origami, etc! Just glue stuff down and make whatever, its really good for your creativity.

Walking gets you outside and in the sun. Being outside is proven to improve your mood, so on top of movement, you end your walk by being happier after. For me, I don't have many places I can walk. I live out in the woods, so there are no sidewalks for me to walk around on. Even though I don't have the best place for exercising, I just walk up and down my driveway multiple times and zone out while listening to a podcast. Anything counts, so no matter what you do, be proud of yourself for getting off your phone.

This year is the first year I've made a physical vision board, and it was so much fun. I went on pinterest and made a board for what i want my life to look like this year, then i printed the images out, cut them out, and organized them on my board! It just takes time, but that is the point of these hobbies. I chose stuff based on how I want to look, how I want to feel, who I want to be surrounded with, and what i want to accomplish. I have it hung up next to me on my wall right now, and every morning I wake up and it's the first thing I see. Make sure when you make one, that you are able to see it everyday, so put it in a visible spot! if you don't have a printer, you can go somehwere to get images printed, or you can make a pinterest board.

Try a new way of how you use your makeup. try different styles and what you think would work for you. if you dont want to make a new one, try improving the routine you already have (if you wear makeup). Try different blush placement, different nose contour, new eyeliner, a different lip combo, more or less bronzer, freckles, anything you want. Use your face as a canvas. Put on a playlist and free ball it. My makeup style changes a lot, because i practice a lot of styles, so i can expierment with what works on my face. right now i have more of a "deer makeup" look. I used to wear more baddie makeup, but my style has gotten softer recently. You can choose whatever makes you the most confident!! That is the purpose of this activity.

These are just a few things i have done to pass the time while i take phone breaks, there are many other things you can do if you don't like these ideas! i encourage you to research those, because i really am happier after i was on my phone less and less.
