Clearing out the gunk
We all have stuff going on that isn’t particularly nice, that isn’t pretty.
None of us are perfect, although perfectly made.
We all have flaws, imperfections, a shadow side illuminated by the light within. The idea that only the best side, only the perfect side, only the happiest side is what we should present creates a pressure and disconnect from this:
The human experience is a spectrum of all the emotions, all the feels, all the transformations, all the change and forever soul growth.
The better aligned opportunities and possibilities that come through the obstacles
The healing that comes through acknowledging/moving through the pain
The light that comes through being present with the shadow
The wins that come out of failures
The blessings that come when you look at life and people from a grateful lens
The freedom that comes when you face the fear and do it anyway
The things I’ve experienced which were awful, disturbing and scary didn’t lead to my breakdown- they led to breakthroughs of lessons, wisdom and purpose.
We get to sit with the pain with courage and work through it (for example with journalling, speaking a friend, releasing stuck emotions, challenging ideas and beliefs that are limiting and fear-driven etc).
In that decision to sit through and feel what wants to be felt, we get to transform and up-level. Into inner freedom, clarity, inner peace and a certainty that you can do the things you think you can’t, that you can have the things you want, and that you can become the next level you because it’s already in you.
Have a blessed day! Leila x
