When is the best time to make a change within your life? When is the right time to do start moving things into a new phaze? The answer is, when you physically can't do anything but change. I think sometimes that the only time we really make any lasting change to our lives is when we absolutely have to. When we have overwhelming pain, when we feel flattened by the weight of our own expectations that can drive us into a space where change is a matter of survival. But what about when your life is comfortable? How can you find the drive to elevate your life when you're coming home each day to a warm comfy house and a family that loves you? It's all about how much you feel you deserve something better. And by better I'm not saying that what you already have is bad, I don't think you have to hate where you are to create something nicer. You just want to create something that is in alignment or a reflection or an extension of the best version of yourself. You want something that continually helps you to stay in the space of your heart which is constantly growing and evolving to new spaces.
It can be hard to make changes but they can be done. It really all comes down to how vigilantly you follow your own internal guidance. If you stick to your own personal truth then the changes that need to be made won't ever really seem that drastic or that much of an upheavel. It will just seem like you are peeling back layers of your own internal noise and taking yourself to a place where you can be fully honest with who you are. That's not to say it's all going to be sunshine and lollipops, the path to change is rarely completely smooth but it can be done. Right now I am guilty of withholding small changes to my life that have been niggling me for a while and today I am finally letting go and being honest. I am taking the physical steps that need to be taken to elevate what I bring to the table within my working life. I am dealing with the changes now whilst the Universe is sending me nudges and whispers because I know what comes next if I don't. There have been times in my life where I fought against what my inner voice was telling me and those are the times when it seemed like everything I touched turned to crap. Everything I was trying to build fell apart and I ended up in a mess. Because I was lying to myself everything I built was built on a lie and that's not a strong foundation. It was the pain of that experience that pushed me back into a place where I had to be honest with myself and hold myself hostage to that honesty.
I deserve the best that life has to give me. I deserve joy. I deserve love and kindness and compassion and I deserve everything the Universe has to offer in order to keep me in a space of love. And you do too, don't forget that. When I listen to my inner voice which is born of the substance of love things flow around me. When I don't I get out of sync quickly. This is why I try my best to listen to the nudges, before the nudges become bricks across my head, and the bricks become houses that fall on you if you don't listen to them. Trust me, when the Universe has a message for you it gives it to you over and over again. It will serve you best to listen when the Universe whispers because she WILL shout! But if course I stumble, I have an ego the same as everyone else. I go off course but what my spiritual practice does it help me get back onto course A LOT quicker. I don't tend to stay in the chaos anywhere near as long as I used to. So change becomes a constant, things are always on the move and listening to who you really are and working at being truly honest with yourself at every given moment keeps that change running as smooth as possible. Good luck!
Thank you for listening,
Big Love,
