Are you standing in your own way?

Are there things you’d like to create or changes you’d like to make in your life and no matter what you do, focus on or think about nothing seems to change? 

If  things aren’t moving along the way you’d like them to, it is time to take a look at where you are standing in your own way! You may even be asking how is it  or why you would be standing in your own way.

There are many instances where it is possible to stand in your own way and not even realize it. One of them is wanting things to change but not taking responsiblity for where you are and what you can do to create that change. Whatever your situation, you are never powerless!

In some cases you may be holding on to an ideal (perfect picture) and not willing to let it go. I see this a lot when it comes to relationships or lack thereof. When you hold on to something (or someone) for dear life, you are standing in your own way by not allowing the potential of something you really want to come in!

It is also time to let go of the blame game.  You know that game. It’s your mother’s or father’s fault, it’s how you were brought up, it’s someone else doing it to you etc.

I don’t mean this to be harsh and that you should blame yourself but here’s the reality, if you want to create change, it is time to become conscious of those things that you have a stranglehold on.

What you choose to hold on to is you getting in the way of where you want to go. It is a choice to hold on. It is a choice to blame. It is a choice not to quiet your mind or take time to meditate and allow your life to unfold.

One of the most difficult things about “waking up” is that you begin to recognize the part that you have played in being where you are. It so many ways it is  easier not to be aware.

On the other side of the spectrum, when you open up and recognize who you are there is no need to stand in your own way. Fear dissipates, forgiveness reigns and  stumbling blocks become stepping-stones!

If you have a pattern of getting involved in the wrong relationships, where might you be standing in your own way? Are you trying to control something or someone? If so you are standing in the way of your own freedom!

If you are blaming, you have self-defeating thoughts or you are hiding, you are blocking the way for ease, happiness and success! How about a different choice…starting today!

Wake up! Change the dynamic! Get out of your own way and allow all those things you are wishing and dreaming, dreaming and wishing to become reality by merely stepping aside and allowing those magical moments to happen!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Are you embracing ALL of you?

Fact: Love, joy, happiness, and passion are energy vibrations. Fact: Boredom, apathy, sadness and ANGER are energy vibrations!

Yes, bodies get angry and/or sad no matter how much you don’t want them too! Can you have and embrace ALL of these?

This is an interesting question to reflect upon. We all have a full spectrum of emotions, feelings and energy vibrations that are not only a part of us but a part of being human.

Denying, ignoring or stifling any of these vibrations limits your experience and in essence you are denying a part of yourself. It also puts a limit on the opposite vibration.

Most of us are taught from a very young age not to get angry and to forgive those who have treated us badly. Forgiveness is wonderful BUT forgiving doesn’t make it OK for someone to treat you like a doormat or invalidate you.

You cannot control what others say or do but it IS ok to get angry! It is also OK to use your anger as a healing. Here comes the tricky part…allowing your anger to flow in YOUR space without lashing out or sending it out to someone.

Allowing your anger, or any other emotion or feeling for that matter, to flow through you is empowering. Giving yourself permission to have these feelings is a step toward growing and expanding your other feelings and emotions.

The reason I used anger as an example is because it is one of the emotions that many people have very little permission to have. For you it may be some other emotion.

Men are taught not to cry and women not to get angry…etc. The truth is that bodies have emotions!

We all want to keep our focus on the love & light within..at least I’m in hopes that all of you reading this want those vibrations in the forefront but are you truly experiencing ALL of them?

There is always a dichotomy and you can’t have one without the other. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s laws apply here too!

There is day and night, two sides to every coin, and a plethora of emotions & feelings each with a direct opposite that make up our very BEing-ness.

Having your awareness and embracing those dark parts of you, or as some would say negative vibrations,  as well as light & love gives you the ability to expand your human experience.

Embracing your anger and acknowledging it allows you to love that much more. Feeling your sadness allows you to be that much happier. Having a good cry makes the laughter that much more joyful. 🙂

You cannot nor is it necessary to control what you are feeling. Allow feelings & emotions to bubble up and BE. Feel your feelings & emotions, embrace them,  acknowledge them then release let them! 🙂

Embrace the reality of human experience! HAVE all that you are! BE who you are! Accept ALL your feelings and emotions as a part of you!~Shine Your Light Debbie
