Change Is An Opportunity to Surrender….

I have been sensing huge change coming for me for quite awhile and although I feel like perhaps I resisted it for a long time, I’m not judging myself for that because that resistance was all part of the process of change for me. I can lean into resistance just the same way as I can lean into change. Sometimes I might not be aware of which position I’m in, but I always become aware of it at some point, and lean in as much as I am able to. Usually for me leaning in is a completely madly deep plunge, but it’s still leaning in. Thankfully sometimes I also lean in by just dipping my toe in the water so to speak but it doesn’t matter how much I lean in it matters that I lean in.

So, I’ve been feeling really big change coming for me for quite awhile and a big part of the resistance I felt was that I am very aware that if big change comes for me, big change comes for everyone around me too at the same time. None of us exist separately in a vacuum, it’s like the butterfly effect, when one person or one thing experiences change, it has a ripple effect all around it. I guess I needed time to recognise that I was rescuing and was trying not to be a catalyst for change in anyone else’s world, which is impossible.

Change is constant and I often say that change is actually the only certainty in life. There’s plenty of other old sayings that other people use about the certainties in life but for me change really is the only certainty. Many people in this world go through life wanting to control everything to try and make sure that nothing changes and it’s not even a conscious effort to control it. The control comes from fear and I know that usually it’s an unconscious fear, but it’s still there, it’s still control, and it’s still fear based. We all do it at different points in our lives and some people do it for a long time and some people might only do it once, but we do all do it because it is a human condition.

I’m at the point for me now where I’m leaning in and embracing the change, whatever it brings, I’m embracing it fully. That means that no matter what else I do, there is going to be great change in my world and that impacts everybody and everything around me at the same time. The love in my heart demands that I have compassion for myself and others during this period of change. I want very much to meet this demand, to be aware of my internal reactions and not project them outwards. I also want very much to be aware of these demands from my heart and not projecting the reactions inwards either like I used to do. I have no desire to turn on myself because there’s nowhere to outwardly project the energy that is activated when I’m triggered.

So essentially for me, the change this time is an opportunity for me to move through a changing season with love and compassion for myself and others. I choose to believe that I’m ready or I wouldn’t be here facing it, whether I feel ready or not is beside the point altogether, I am ready and that is why I’m here.

Now I just need to remember everything I’ve learned along the way and continue putting it into practice.  #rememberingunity #love #hope #whatreallymatters #joy #peace #calm #life #light #soul #heal #embracethegrace  #feel  #innerchild  #reparentingmyselfwithlove #photooftheday #motivationalquotes #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #quoteoftheday
