One of the main topics I love to write and give talks on is
taking your challenges and turning them into an asset. This goes way beyond words… it takes clear
intention and action!
Our struggles in life can cause us to fall into the winter
of discontent only to realize that life is still happening around us and
eventually we must rejoin the world. During these times , when we are feeling
super low, we can find our way by trusting our innate intelligence. Innate is
perfect and fortunate for us, we do not always have to be perfect to follow innate’s
guidance. There is constant shift between negative and positive and hopefully leaning
more toward the positive end of the spectrum as we march through our lives.
In the times of vulnerbility,sadness, and negative mindset we
can awaken our souls to the possibilities that surround us. It is a different lens, and sometimes can
only be cleansed by our tears allowing us greater vision into what innate has planned.
Every person has the right to this self determination for
their own truth. Some people take more time, some people need to cry , and
others find it with great ease. Each person has their own path and it is
correct for them. The only time that we get lost is when we shut down that
voice inside of us and listen to the outside chatter, whether it be negative
news or our less than supportive family members. The real strength and courage
is always within. This same strength and courage is what redirects us when we
are lost, inspiring our souls to get on course once again.
It is easy to be discouraged, it is easy to be thrown off
track only to realize later on that the entire time you had been day dreaming, about a better life. Later on, you finally
realize, you were actually living that life you had
always imagined. Perhaps it was not the fairy tale you pictured as a child, but
it was your truth and it was beautiful because you finally realized your innate
potential.
Personally, I still dream in vivid colors even though I can
no longer really see them in a “normal” way. Sometimes it does make me mad or
sad and I think that is fine to experience those emotions. Now I experience
colors in feelings that are deeply connected to my childhood and my authentic
self. If you say “sage green” I feel safe inside knowing that is my favorite
color. If you say “chocolate brown” I feel joy with a bit of loneliness because
it reminds me of my mother always wearing sweaters this color and I miss her dearly.
When I think of blue, I can hear my grandma’s voice or hot pink I have memories
of our yellow lab, Abbi’s collar. You see, I can still have color in my life
but it is no longer visual it is a feeling and a much deeper sensation. These
are the sort of realizations one can have when they are plugged into the universe
and themselves. I work out, I eat super clean organic and local food, I drink
green juice at least once a day, I say my affirmations but what really connects me is the
chiropractic adjustment. The adjustment restores
my connections with the outside world and my internal battles of losing my
mother and sight at the age of 14. Learning to deliver an adjustment gave me
purpose and taught me how to love others for the sake of loving and serve them for the sake of serving.
I believe that if you can cry and then laugh
within a moment of one another it is like a rainbow when it is raining. They
are so different, but are beautiful together. This is life, so cry when you
need to cry. Laugh with every fiber in your being and love all this emotion. It
is in these small, yet significant moments in life, that full expression of
life is realized. It is in these moments that we can find great clarity and the
resolve to forgive our past transgressions. Once forgiven, we can better tune
into innate and manifest our genuine souls through intention and action.
It is important to remember, nobody is perfect but we can
all live an amazing life. Through all of the stress, anxiety, and struggles everyone
can realize they are living the life they have imagined when there is no
interference. Create the intention in your heart space and take an action today
to get clear in your head, in your heart
and most importantly in yoru nervous system. With clarity comes joy, with joy
we can create a beautiful world .
