This week I discovered my website had a bug. This was after I thought all my website stuff was running smoothly. Recently, I noticed pictures missing and random bars popping up where they should not be. Clearly something was needing some attention.
Hmmm….And technology is not something I enjoy.
It was at that moment I had the choice to either scream and kick with frustration or choose the higher road of less reactivity.
I choose the latter. I sat down at that moment and felt all the emotions of having a less than perfect website. Then I just laughed. I trusted these glitches are little reminders of how I can practice living a better life, one of ease, grace, play, and femininity. I trusted I am exactly where I am supposed to be in this moment and that the higher powers that be have my back.
When the storm in my head was relieved by laughter, the calm was able to move in and I was able to take action towards a resolution.
I would like to introduce you to a quote by Jaggi Vasudev.” If you learn to ride the storm, the storm is not a problem anymore.”
When was the last time you felt you were in a storm? How did you react?
Do you stuff it down?
Do you react negatively?
Do you dwell on it?
Or maybe you go into isolation?
Or cried?
I want you to take a moment and think about how you handle these less than pretty moments.
As women, we have been taught that it is bad to be emotional. That we should be happy and cheerful all the time, be in control, hide those emotions that are perceived bad because they won’t serve us, and that sitting in the storm is counterproductive.
That emotional part of us as women is so essential to our being. As a culture of women we have learned to shut down our feelings and pretend things are fine.
Let me give you an example… Have you ever been to the grocery and run into someone you have not seen in a while? They ask you how you have been and you respond, “Oh, fine!” Often the reality at that moment is quite different. We have conditioned ourselves to not be true to ourselves.
On a deep level, we have been conditioned to not trust the feminine in us. That part of us that has been shut off and down has a deep desire to be expressed. This disconnect causes deep longing.
Are you able to recognize any deep desires or longings?
Often women find that beyond material things and external desires what they desire most is being truly authentic to themselves, living fully in the moment, and connected.
Let’s do a little recap.
Let’s think about how you answered the previous question about how you would react in a storm.
Now, if you were to do some personal upgrades that will lead you closer to the woman you want to be, what would those upgrades look like?
Make a list of 5 things you would do differently.
