Currently, in my life, I am being challenged on several fronts. This is scary stuff. There are times when I lose my focus and get sucked into the fear mindset.
Sometimes I am able to be aware that in the moment- that this is a challenge that I must face, and to just face it, feel it and push through. I have to remind myself constantly that on the other side of this challenge, is the answer- and THAT is what I am going to focus on. Getting to the answer.
The challenge is to keep my focus on the answer.
I realize that there are opportunities in the challenges facing me right now.
Being conscious of this in the midst of facing what I face, is not easy,.. and I am aware that the my tendency is to go back into old patterns of dealing with things.
Being aware of the fact that I am not always going to be able to be conscious of the lesson in the moment, is to me, a lesson in patience and understanding toward myself.
I am realizing that fear is normal - and part of the process. I am learning how important it is to NOT give in to the fear- or let the fear paralyze you.
I am not going to lie, because the truth is what is going to get me through this. No more illusions or distractions or denial.
In the toughest moments- my first reaction to to run- to flee and avoid this uncomfortable feeling.
But I must remind myself constantly that the discomfort is a necessary part of change when breaking old and outdated habits and conditioning. The Old ways have carved grooves in our minds and lives, puting us into automatic pilot- and going through life numb and really out of touch. The high comfort level is usually a sign that you are not growing.
So through it all, I find some comfort in knowing that all the discomfort is a sign that I AM moving in the right direction, and being conscious of this fact in the midst of it all, gives me a huge advantage- because I can also consciously make the choices that I KNOW will take me toward all my dreams and goals in life.
So if any of you are feeling the weight of the challenges that life throws at you, remember that the discomfort you feel, is simply a call to you to be present, and conscious that you are in a PRECISE moment for making a conscious choice to find the lesson, and the opportunity in that moment.
Be fully aware in the space of NOW, because it is that same moment that serves as a building block to the future- that is how you choose your life
