This season’s focus is on paying attention to the character being played out in my life, to be the awareness behind the unfolding. It’s something I have committed to practicing again because I forgot. Each time I forget to be aware of the story it’s because I started to believe it as permanent.
And there’s even deeper layers than that.
So let’s tie everything with the theme of distraction, otherwise referred to as “you’re doing it again.”
So this season I’m paying attention to myself from thoughts and behaviors to habits and identity anchors, simply noticing. Noticing how I show up for myself, for others, places I’m shining, and places that I’m keeping dark, my responsibility is to become aware of the life I’m currently living.
My job is to practice paying attention.
It’s a practice which means I will keep coming back to it, over and over again.
The end game is when the game ends, the game of life, there’s no ultimate goal other than waking up.
The obstacle that’ll be faced for everyone is falling back to sleep, going from awareness to distraction, over and over again.
Rather than associating negative feelings with being distracted learning how to stop taking it personally and start taking responsibility for the change.
It’s my job to notice who I am and accept it, to decide who I will become, to forgive who I was.
Cultivating, manifesting, and deciding the details of the life I want to build is part of my day to day. Some seasons call for more action to be taken, others urge reflection, grounding, and gaining clarity, the last one is what I’m aligning with.
Simply because I’ve remembered to. I was jolted out of the story playing in my mind just long enough to become a witness as if the main character of your TV show broke the 4th wall.
Standing back far enough to see you’re in costume, dressed up as this personality that was founded on beliefs, some of which you’re not even aware of, that are deeply driving the vehicle (your body) through this life. Beliefs of fear and love are the seeds planted within blossoming or dying off from the amount of focus fed.
Making a cup of tea, looking at my apothecary, noticing it’s a bit more full with what is healing.
Connecting back to my relationship with healing, what it’s looked like, where it’s begging for the light of awareness to be pulled out of the darkness. A nudge back into alignment with the vision after becoming lighter from letting go of assumptions and expectations, moving higher, closer to my higher self.
Remembering it’s not about the details, the story, or the anchors in identity during this chapter of the character’s story. It’s about how it all feels and whether it’s bringing you closer or further from where you want to go.
So when you notice you’re distracted, you’re doing it again, come back to an anchor in the present moment. Unhook yourself from what’s pulling you in multiple directions and decide you’re going to stand tall, here and now.
Remember to stand back far enough where you are not your thoughts, your feelings, your experience. You are the awareness behind all of those things. Someone playing a character, stepping into a role that can be changed at any time.
Notice and come back, over and over again.
