Somethings that I read, somethings I felt, somethings I thought …somethings
I know.
“The soul is the energy that goes beyond the confines of the physical
body.”
It seems at every turn we are confronted with and surrounded
by problems, situations that eat away at our soul; we listen to the lies of
negativity, we get stuck in old stories, we disconnect with our own people, we
resist, we don’t wait, we put our expectations on pedestals, we think we are not
enough, we waste our time and though our physical body looks “perfect” on the
outside, on the inside we believe we are imperfect…we have begun to believe the
lies and our soul suffers.
“To feed your soul, find the rhythm
of your breath, the life force that air brings.
Live in the moment, be conscious of what you are doing and experiencing,
as each moment brings about the full appreciation of the present moment.”
Pneuma…feed your
soul…Breathe.
“Breathe in, breathe
out and notice the air flowing in and out of you naturally...
It’s as if you are
being breathed into.”
Pneuma…the breath
of God.
I’m trying to appreciate these words and I’m going to work
at feeding my soul.
I’m going to start a project, cleaning out and de-cluttering,
first my kitchen cupboards, then my office.
I’m going to put up some wall paper and cover up the words written on
the wall and while I’m at it, I’m going to do it for me, I am going to change
my mind-set, clean out and de-clutter me.
It won’t be easy..I know that.
So; Today I will be the best version of myself… and then I will say it again the next day…Today I will be the best version of myself. And then I will say it again. Today I will be…
“It’s a journey that
doesn’t always add up, make sense or go in a straight line.
It’s not about getting
rid of…it’s about letting go.”
So, here’s what I’m going to work on...I am going to:
Support release
…be okay with letting go
Cultivate stillness
…slow down, simplify, sense, surrender and self-care.
Remove stuck
energy…stop doing that!
Release old
stories
Connect with
home, family and friends…be confident
Be enough…
Lean into
resistance …it’s ok to be on a hard road.
Live
imperfectly …like no one is watching
Wait it out
Embrace
mystery …be okay with not knowing
Forgive
Be kind.
Be brave.
Show grace …because
grace is the greatest brave.
It’s going
to be a journey; I won’t be travelling in a straight line… I know that already.
One more
thing I already know, God’s grace is sufficient for me.
Going beyond...
feeding my soul, starting today, the best version of me.
I love that
