Feel Pressured By the Outside World
A ‘check in’ list to help you stay peaceful
This is a time where much is being asked of us if we want a different world for ourselves, our children, and grandchildren. WE have to be different. What does that mean?
If you are feeling a bit confused or unsettled right now, you aren’t alone. This is to be expected. Our world is changing rapidly. It’s important to stay connected within as the old structures break down (yes, it’s scary). And it’s important for us to stay connected and grounded in ourselves – our unique light and the light that is breaking through the old ways.
We may feel pressured by the outside world to do and be one way but are always reminded that change comes from the inside out. Feel peaceful in your body, mind, and spirit and then trust where your inner guidance leads you.
Astrologically we are entering a time of going within. Yes, Mercury in retrograde for the Fall. Going within may mean looking at what is causing you fear, anxiety or overwhelm and looking it straight in the eye to know what is causing those feelings.
Your body naturally switches into fight, flight or flee mode for protection depending on your life, trauma, and triggers. The amygdala is the part of the brain that keeps you safe whether there is actual danger or not. It reacts based on your life experiences and/or your family lineage.
This reaction is even more prevalent when you consider what life on the planet is like now combined with any personal challenges you may be facing.
Where do you start? What triggers you out of a place of feeling safe or peaceful?
Check in with yourself…
- Is it something in your life worrying you or are you feeling overwhelmed? If so you may be sensitive to what is in the collective. Do you need to pull out of the outside world drama?
This doesn’t mean putting your head in the sand, but it does mean not getting caught up on sides. Feel the feelings and then let them go. Trust where you want to get involved. Choose a place where you can easily be for something rather than against something.
For me, it is creating groups for women where they can feel safe to be themselves. To recognize and own their gifts. What is something that gives you joy? When your energy shifts it allows others to move into a place of more peace and opens creativity to new ways to do things.
- Are you having a challenge in a relationship? What is this relationship challenge offering you as a way to change?
Is it the understanding that you can have relationships where different perspectives are accepted and not judged on either side? Or is it a time where there isn’t an alignment of frequencies between you and the other person and detachment, distance or letting go is the next step.
- Listen to your body. Our bodies change as we evolve. Is your body going through changes or are you experiencing physical pain?
Is your body asking that you continue to love and nurture your physical vehicle instead of blame or feeling betrayed by it? What patterns may be emotionally affecting your body causing pain that want to be transformed. This can be from childhood or family lineage patterns.
- Are you playing a role in the dreaded drama triangle? Believe me we all spend time on the triangle. Step off the Victim, Persecutor, Rescuer drama triangle.
You may have a main role on this triangle. However, if you take on one of the roles on this triangle you will play each of the roles in another area of your life.* You have lost your true self and ability to heal and choose a new way of being.
- It’s natural for us to judge others, situations, and many times ourselves. We are wired that that way. For there to be more peace and harmony in your life and in the world, it is important for each of us to shift the pattern of judgment and the ways we create separation between ourselves and others with our judgements.
To shift this pattern, it’s important to notice how your judge yourself and others. You may need to set a boundary. Being the observer is important. Be compassionate towards yourself and those around you. This doesn’t mean you accept disrespect or abuse. Cultivate the awareness of observing and seeing there are two perspectives. Be aware of creating a polarity (opposite side) creating seperation This may be helpful from Access Consciousness “Don’t agree and align or resist and react” remembering It’s ok to stay NO. Have integrity by staying true to yourself.
- Just being you is important. Are you nourishing yourself with clean water and connecting to nature? Are you focusing on what brings you joy? Is there something you feel pulled towards as your “purpose”?
Your light and your gifts are what are contributing to a world with more harmony. Manage your energy! Are you really owning who you truly are without criticism of who you are and your gifts. Manage your energy and keep yourself connected to your inner guidance and connection to Source. Your gifts are needed and an important part of creating a different world.
“Own your journey and keep choosing your energetic independence (Life Force liberation) to align with the authentic freedom that is becoming possible on Earth. It’s time to become ONE with who you Truly are.” ~Lauren Gorgo
