a little blog for a big soul

When manifesting:

Some questions for self-reflection on the past month:

“I surrender my desire to be healed. The blurriness of being alive.”

“Choose a thought. Pretend that’s already happened. Be excited about it. Watch what happens.”

When you feel insecure or unworthy, make sure not to make any major decisions, because you may unknowingly settle for less than you deserve. Feelings come and go. Breathe. Feel. Let go. When you feel calm and relaxed, examine the situation carefully again.

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”

Once we recognize our suffering, the first step toward healing is learning to pause. We might think, “I’m unworthy of my partner’s love because I’m a selfish  person.” Or, “I’m unworthy because I’m not a fun or spontaneous person.” Or perhaps, “I don’t deserve love because I always let people down.” We might experience feelings of shame or fear or hopelessness. Whatever our experience, learning to pause when we’re caught in our suffering is the critical first step. As Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl famously said: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” When we pause, we can respond to the prison of our beliefs and feelings in a healing way. 

People love with too much fear attached aka they don’t love. They posses. They attach. They obsess. They devote. They are enamored. They are likely even grateful and feel something close to love. But the fear is cage and loving from a fearful place means you are just deeply emotionally attached. Because if you loved truly, you’d let go.
