So here we all are, on the other side of a coin, the other side of a world crisis, the other side of life where the choices we made impacted upon the trajectory of lives. How do we even move forward fearlessly again in making decisions, if we wanted too, in the lives we have for the rest of our time here on Earth. Deciding for ourselves, not dictated too by others opinions, or by a disjointed government hell bent on destroying our individual rights under a guise of health and freedom.
How do we adapt, move, dance with these ever changing times, without the shadow of fear lurking in every corner of the planet waiting silently, ready to pounce on our every waking thought, creating indecision and doubt within our individual minds that we become paralyzed and incapable of physical and emotional movement.
So how do we adapt to change on any level.
Do we slip back into old comfortable behavioral patterns that feel so familiar and safe as coping mechanisms or do we take a leap of faith into a chasm of the unknown and trust our own instincts, the same instincts many in the past have told us we can’t trust. These feelings we call a knowing in our gut that tells us when something doesn’t feel right, that someone may be telling us a lie, that a situation we maybe in right now isn’t safe for us or the facts we’re being told don’t match up with the actions.
Or do we accept the new dance card and take up the offer of change and allow the new steps of a familiar waltz gently soothe our confused state of mind into a deeper more easy state of grace that we can groove with seamlessly. One that allows an easier transition of thought that flows with the wave of change and not against it. Lets consider taking a brave step into a place where our own thoughts, feelings and actions take centre stage in our making choices, in a way unfamiliar and scary for our mind but yet excites and creates euphoria and joy in our heart energy.
When we think of the energy of change, how it impacts upon us in ways that defy human logic or understanding, how are we coping, how are we accepting or denying change into our lives. How is the way that we are now making choices which impact upon our personal relationships, our connections with friends and family. How are we coping with change on all its levels.
Some of us run for hills away from change, denying its very existence in our lives, refusing to budge or move from a solid stance of ‘ head in the sand mentality ‘ While others fearlessly embrace change like a lost lover and revel in a forgotten yet familiar fragrance that creates intoxicating thoughts of excitement and joy. The heady concoction of the new fragrance begins creating new synapses in our brain promising delightful pleasures we had only dreamed of yet now have become a reality for us.
This is the change I seek, the change I long for, dream about night after night in a lost world of dreaming of wanting, of craving a different outcome to a repetitive pattern of behavior. I am thirsty for this new water source, that provides unlimited potential and energy spaces for new creations. To live a life soul inspired and full of my soul essence that I become a magnetic attraction for others on our Earth who choose the same path as me. We have so many analogies around what we perceive change to be or represent.
Here in this blog I refer to change as waves, ebbing and flowing, sometimes calm and tranquil other times stormy and impossible to tame. Surfers can tell you so much more about their personal interpretations of how waves flow, move and their creation affects their abilities to surf the perfect wave. So for myself this explanation fits this story in a way I hope the reader can emphasize with and understand.
Whatever your journey is in life I hope that change doesn’t become a road block for you. Instead it becomes an easy to get too off ramp into an unknown destination of a greater truth and knowing of yourself. That those you surround yourself with on a day to day basis, can aid you along the way with helpful signposts that provide confirmation that your experience albeit different to everyone elses, has a resonance of truth familiar to all of us here today. We are not alone on this journey, even though it feels that way at times.
