Instead of resisting and wishing things were different, what if I just practice radical acceptance and accept that this is what I am dealing with, and this is where I am, and this is the lesson that I currently have in front of me?
So treat this lesson with seriousness and respect. Create a safe space for it and for uncomfortable emotions to be felt and explored with love, patience, compassion, and kindness.
Sometimes I get so tired of the healing journey.. there’s always something to heal, always something to improve..
Life has been feeling so heavy for me lately because I’ve had so many things happening all at once.. And I was trying to fix or control everything. Do this thing differently, or that thing.. Trying to heal this, heal that.. But instead it felt like everything just kept getting worse and worse 😭
I was feeling so confused and frustrated bc I felt like I was doing so much and getting no results!! I began to lose faith in healing.. and I felt like my only option was to just let “Jesus take the wheel.”
But here’s the silver lining:
I think I just needed to make it to the point where I lost all faith in healing so I would have to truly “give up” and fully accept the reality I have been living..
that I am the way that I am,
that my partner is the way that he is,
that work is the way that it is,
that the world is the way that it is..
that things are
just
the way
that they are..
And it was almost like once I (reluctantly) accepted this reality, once I “gave up;” only then was I able to to truly begin to connect with the present moment..
And in the middle of a messy life, I was finny to feel at peace. Nothings fully resolved for me, but I feel at peace.
Maybe it’s the energy of the new moon in Aries (♈️ baby here) or something else.. but I have been enjoying so much living day by day! I feel like living this way definitely allows me to be more present 🫶🏼✨
This right here is a key aspect in manifestation. It’s not about magic, it’s about TAKING ACTION and preparing your nervous system for that reality that you see in the future.
Last month when I was in Hawaii traveling, I decided to use the trip as an opportunity to “practice” living the life I want to live.. And one thing I know, is that in that life, I feel FREE.
So I asked myself: “ok, what would it look and feel like if I was already able to live off of my online business and completely owned my time? What would I be doing right now if that was already my reality?”
And what came up for me was the freedom of working at a coffee shop next to the beach…
So I went and did that! ✨
The point of doing this exercise of practicing is to start preparing your nervous system for when this reality “arrives.” To start showing it and teaching it that this experience is normal!
Which realistically nothing is “arriving”, you’re just CREATING your own reality.
So now I ask you..
✨ What does the life you dream of having, look like?
✨ What does it feel like?
✨ What is something you can go “practice” NOW?
Bonus affirmation to carry with you as you practice this exercise:
✨ “It is completely possible and normal for me to experience the life I’ve always dreamed of.”
Go practice and let me know how you felt!
Love,
Juli ✨
