Be here for the change…

There are no right or wrong decisions in life. By placing your faith in God and trusting that he will guide you towards the path that you’re meant to be on, you can take the pressure off yourself. Knowing that at any point you can only make the most informed decision that is available to you and that is enough. Whichever path you follow, there will no doubt be many lessons, gifts and blessings. Be present for all of it.

I’m trying to remind myself of this as I navigate this new chapter of my life. I have been putting so much pressure on myself, my partner and my circumstances. I have all these expectations that are anchored in perfection and comfort. But I need to reframe my perspectives and examine my beliefs. I need to create space in my mind for new ways of being so that I can actually enjoy the journey as opposed to begrudgingly pave my way towards a future that may or may not come.

Life is only as beautiful as your thoughts. You can have all your ‘dreams’ come true and still go through life miserable if all you see is what you are missing or how things could have been. It’s not the decision itself that matters, it’s the way you experience what follows. It’s about being open to what is in front of you so that you can allow joy to cultivate, no matter what shape it comes in. It’s letting go of expectations that are holding you back and making you small. I have been struggling with the move to London and I think a large portion of it is due to expectations I’ve set for myself, my partner and my lifestyle.

I have ruined many moments for myself and as a result I have created an environment that is low vibration. I’m so accustomed to looking at the glass half empty that I can’t appreciate the glass is also half full. It doesn’t come naturally but I am determined to cultivate gratitude because I don’t underestimate the blessings that I have been granted post what has been the hardest 3.5 years. It’s interesting how quickly we can forget that the life we are living now is the dreams and hopes we had been working towards yesterday. Wake up, see it for what it is.

I need to anchor myself back into my connection with God, nature and the positive vibrations that ground me. I need to remind myself that it’s not about copy and pasting the past but rather, opening a new page where I can write new chapters. I am here, now, as a changed version of me so I will be curious about what I can create in this new phase. I would like to step into this space with a sense of openness so that I can enjoy the discomfort just as much as the comfort.

Time isn’t going to slow down for us. So let’s not waste it stuck in our heads! Let’s try and step out of the thoughts that are holding us back and become as present as we can in the moment that is here, now.

Love Always,

M
