Why are parts of awakening uncomfortable? xoxoxo Jennifer

You know better than to listen to your ego… right?

“When you choose to go on the journey of awakening yourself, every pattern, identity and physical characteristic that does not support you in living your personal heaven, will be challenged by life. The most productive response is gratitude.” J. Hough (Tweetable)

In the last week or so, for me, the deepest part of old patterns has been coming up to leave.  I know better than to listen to my ego saying, “How could it be this old thing again”?  I know it is a much deeper aspect of the stuff that I have looked at before.

Infinite Wisdom is brilliant at finding the fastest path to congruence for each of us.  It may be uncomfortable, but then it should be, right? Shouldn’t the stuff that is keeping us from our flight feel uncomfortable as we witness it show itself, just before it leaves?

I say yay for saying bye, bye.  Yay for the courage to keep saying “yes” to the juicy stuff, knowing that the old stuff will have to leave. Yay for having compassion for yourself for being human…..

Oooo, I’m kinda excited to keep opening the gifts of who I really am!!!! Who cares if sometimes I don’t like the wrapping paper!!! xoxoxoxooxoxo Jennifer

Here’s the issue with that:

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains.

I was listening to a brilliant podcast a few days ago which my husband reminded me about. Although they didn’t talk about this specifically, it struck me how important it is to understand how our brains work. In understanding this, I’m able to follow my knowing and feel connected to clarity, instead of being manipulated by noise which can only happen if I’m in fear; it’s so easy to be in fear these days, don’t you think?

Fight or flight creates an interesting shift in the brain causing us to relate to those who disagree with our viewpoint as the “other”, and there are those who want to manipulate others in order to protect themselves.

The key to thriving is…

A key to thriving is remembering that doing this is actually important.

It’s ‘nothing’.

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.
