I thought today would be the perfect time for us to reflect on the past forty blogs before really jumping into the last stretch of our journey together. Sometimes just taking a moment to see how far we have come or revisit a lesson from the past helps to give us focus on where we would like to go. The lesson is to make a plan for the future but stay grounded in the present. I know this is what I need at this moment and maybe you will gather some insight if you do the same. Remember to practice gratitude today for how far you have come and for the unknown of where you are going. Let trust and faith be your guide and allow your strength and intuition to shine through.
I did a reflection blog back when we were at the halfway mark, and I am going to post a few of those paragraphs below. The words will still hold true for those of you who made a commitment and are reading weekly and doing the work. Reflecting back is very important especially when you are so focused on change. I want you to take that moment of reflection so you can see how far you have come; I am sure your life looks a little different and feels a little different from when we first started.
Remember when you look back that even small changes are big changes. I will put a list of the previous blogs in order so you can see if there are any titles that jump off the page and maybe a sign that you would like to re-read that one again. You can go to the archives on the right of the page and click on those links to view a previous blog. I know this is a hard journey and we must keep our eyes forward, but every now and again you must look back and see and be proud of how much work you have done. Be kind to yourself and give yourself praise and credit where it is due, practice your self-love. Sometimes when you are caught up in your journey and your changes, it’s hard to see that. You are in a healing bubble and sometimes life just feels hard. That is why I want you to take this week to look back. Have you changed any habits, brought on new ones, eating better, taking more time for yourself, journaling, thinking things through instead of reacting, any little changes that have been helping you move forward. Have you noticed that you want to be more creative? Have you taken on a new hobby, are you walking or exercising? Do a check-in with yourself and see what changes you have made and the ones you would still like to make. I know for myself I have been wanting to start going to the gym. I still haven’t made it there, but I am still always thinking and talking about it. I know it’s just a block that I must work my way through. Usually, blocks are put there because once you break through them, you level up in a way and then new doors open for you. You gain new confidence and look better and feel better about yourself. This is the momentum of change. Sometimes we are stuck and have a fear of change, or maybe just taking a rest before making the next move, so keep an eye on yourself and trust your intuition to know the difference.
When you start feeling that momentum of change, sometimes it feels so fast and like you are now on a ride and you can’t get off. This is the moment that it is important to trust and go with the flow. Your life is now moving in the direction it’s supposed to be, and many changes are taking place, so it feels very fast. You will start to feel anxious wanting to tell yell wait, wait, I wasn’t ready for this, but be confident and know that you are. You are healing many things about your life so it must happen quickly and all at once or else you would be spending decades trying to heal and move forward. Trust the process knowing that you are the one who activated these changes for yourself. Be confident that you can handle this and one day you will look back on these moments and see clearly that these moments are where you find your strength.
In love and light,
Fran
