Orgasmically Journaling
My gratitude journal has brought so much to my attention. First let me say, I didn’t do it every night because I just simply forgot and things happen. But upon waking up I made sure to jot something down. It’s so releasing to write and pour my heart out on paper. I hold so much in my head as the days go on that sometimes the only way to find relief is to write. To write and get it out so that I can move on. This week I held onto something that, in the end, was pointless to hold onto. I held onto a hurt that I experienced by a loved one. It was not what they did or said that I was holding onto but the “feeling” of being hurt. I was so disappointed that I allowed myself to be down about it for so long. My journal helped to remind me that I am responsible for the way I feel and what I think no matter what someone else does or doesn’t do. I was reminded that I choose each and every feeling I have in every situation. No one is responsible no matter what they bring to the table. I have total control on how I want to feel and think.
Whispers from my soul (TM): sometimes we can become blinded by what other’s do that we forget to deal with and acknowledge the role we played in the situation.)
When I began to acknowledge the truth about my revelation I remembered that I am also responsible for my own happiness and the lack thereof. In any given situation I can either choose happiness or unhappiness. I can either place that responsibility on others or exercise MY POWER to create what I want and how I want to feel. At that moment I felt an uplift in my energy. It felt like a 500 pound weight was being lifted off of me.
Take a moment and t
hink about a time when you were driving or riding in a car and the car rides over a bump a little too fast. Can you relate to the feeling that runs through your body? Or when you're in an elevator and it takes off for the first time or descends. Can you relate to the feeling that runs through your body then? What I'm describing happened to me felt exactly like that.)
Whispers from my soul (TM): when I speak about remembering I’m speaking about things that are imprinted in who I am. Things that don’t have to be taught to me, they are things I already know. They are my truths. Truth revealing itself to me when I am ready to receive it. Truth that only reveals itself when I am open to receive it.)
I don’t know about you but I like to feel good. For too long I was afraid to allow myself to feel good for very long. I was always afraid of something happening that would steal my joy so I prepared myself for the worse. Journaling doesn't allow me to remain in a place of fear. It guides me through my fear, and towards my joy again. Which is why journaling is a therapeutic, healing resource for me. It allows my heart to open to endless possibilities. Anything that moves you towards your joy should be done often and made a major priority in your life.
You can’t avoid fear. No magic potion will take it away. And you can’t wait for motivation to get you going. To conquer fear,
you have to feel the fear and take action anyway. You have to FEEL the fear and take action anyway." John C Maxwell
Getting past our fears helps us to realize that part of feeling good and staying there is deciding to make that okay for yourself. No one can tell you what feels good to you but, you. No one has the right to tell you that what makes you feel good is good or not.
Nothing is holding you back from believing this truth. It would be best if you except this truth. What is holding you back?
Asking myself this question struck a nerve in me because just last night I experienced the consequences of betraying my truth. That SUCKED quite frankly!
Here is the lesson that came to me as a result:
BE TRUE TO WHO I AM AND TELL MY TRUTH BECAUSE MY TRUTH “UNTOLD” WILL BE TOLD IN WAY(S) I WOULD RATHER IT NOT.
Notes of self-loving: I am free to experience all of me, living in my truth, daily. And in turn others are a beneficiary of that.
Such a good post! We really do have control over choosing happiness or unhappiness! Most of what you say in this post is about making choices and so often our choices can affect us in so many ways!
