“When you change the way you see things, the things you see change.” — Dr. Wayne Dyer
It takes a strong person to face challenges in life, especially when those challenges keep coming. Can you identify with that feeling? I sure can. If it’s not a challenging situation, it’s a thought or feeling that keeps rearing its head. For me it’s a sense of sadness and loss. Sometimes it really wears me down.
I know that doesn’t sound like being my best self – but I’m being real with you and how I’m feeling. That’s why I understand how you may be feeling, too.
One of the ways I try to move beyond the feelings of sadness is to try to keep growing. I read a lot of personal development books. One last year that really set my soul ablaze was “The Universe has your back” by Gabby Bernstein. That’s why I’m reading it again, especially the sections on surrender and letting go. I’m not good at that. I like to control elements of my life. When it comes to certain dreams and desires in my life, I really need to learn to let it go and trust the Universe. I know everything works out in Divine timing.
To refocus my thoughts, I also try to set three words I set for myself each year instead of setting resolutions. My words this year are grace, badass and hope.
- Grace. I want to be graceful in all I do and react with grace in the face of adversity.
- Badass. I want to remind myself of my inner strength and tap into it, especially when I feel like I’m not enough.
- Hope. I’m really hopeful about this year in so many ways. When I’m feeling down, I want to remember this. Hope is a positive emotion and sees so many possibilities even in hard times.
In essence, my three words set my energy for the year. It’s also how I work to preserve and protect my energy at all costs. Energy is everywhere – in each emotion, interaction and how we respond to it.
Because hope is one of my words this year, I stand read for miracles to happen in my life. Tapping into that mindset all about energy. When you to that, really do that, you can realize the magic that is you.
You are responsible for your reality and your energy. Go out there and make it happen! You deserve it – and we can do it together.
