To understand and be appreciative of our life's lessons, and to understand how to learn from our experiences I often turn to a book called The Art of Happiness. However, this time I have turned to a slightly more spiritual read... a deeper and more thought provoking spiritual guide.
Whilst I am not Buddhist per se (I still occasionally drink alcohol for example), I am very much on the wavelength of kindness, acceptance, gratitude, honesty and so on. Do I walk around with my head in the clouds? No, not at all. But I don't wallow in what is right and wrong. What I can't change I work on myself to accept the good of what has happened/what is happening.
Obviously being a Yoga Teacher/Reiki Master etc, I feel very much that everything happens for a reason, despite us not knowing (very often) what that reason is etc.
So I have decided to this time turn my hand to this book.
Allowing myself to process my feelings whilst still trying to be the best version of myself. It's not easy - but when is life easy?
That's when we have to turn inward and accept that maybe we need more work on ourselves?
Maybe we have misunderstood and mistakenly let our ego get in the way?
Could we have done things with more compassion and/or understanding?
I am still thankful for the small things.
I can work through this.
Sometimes I think I don't ''sit'' enough and process this.
You know - just switch off and breathe in the air around me. Listen to the wind. Feel the mat beneath me.
I often tell my clients to do that - but do I do it often enough?
When life has its challenges and turmoil what can we do?
I should listen to my own words and 'go with the flow' and accept that fate will deal its own cards.
Trust in the Universe.
What will be will be, and will be for the greater good.
Sometimes we just don't know it or 'want' it - but that's ok.
Acceptance for the past, present and future.
Breathe. BE. Sit. Love. Accept.
So how apt that this morning - at 05.55 at this very minute, I have been sat here moving forwards.
Thinking positively.
Breathing.
Looking at the sun rise.
How amazing life is.
Nature and the Universe have the answers.
We just have to accept theM.
