Open, Let Go, Flow

This has been an interesting week, in the sense that I struggled with the exact same thing I spoke about last week. The pause. I found myself extremely anxious on Monday, sitting on my couch after working all day, with an uneasy feeling that I needed to be doing more. It was a struggle to shut my mind up. I leave for tour with my band in less than two months. I feel like I have so much I need to accomplish in this time.

Learning how to tame this mind battlefield I have in here, has been one of the most important things to me. I've been on a personal healing journey since the beginning of the year. I decided to begin with making my health a priority. All aspects of it. This is why I decided to cut alcohol out of my life. I realized that I didn't have to have a problem with it for it to cause a problem with my psyche. To be honest, I'm grateful that it hasn't been hard. I'm only 37 days in and I feel so incredibly amazing. It's said that you really don't even get the full scale effect until six months, so I've got so much to look forward to.

I had always been a supreme self-saboteur. And while I would always manage to make it through, I figured maybe if I love myself enough to not do that, there would be some shifts I've been so desperately looking to make. Alcohol will always be there if I want. What if my life becomes exponentially better by letting that part go? I'm certainly open to seeing!  

The thing is, we get so accustomed to living our lives the same as the day before. The old saying, you can't get different results by doing the same thing is very real for me right now. If we want a shift in our lives, we must look at things from a different perspective. We must go beyond our ordinary to create extraordinary. For me, that has been a process of going deep, questioning why I think some of the things I do and why I hold on unnecessarily to things I need to let go of. 

I'm in the middle of my second read of The Untethered Soul, by Michael Singer. I fell in love with this book back in 2017 when I read it the first time. It's been a good refresher on remaining open, on letting go, and being in the flow of each day for the gift it truIy is. If you find yourself having a hard time with anything in life, I highly recommend it.

If we want to live in true freedom and be fully inspired, the only place we can find these things is inside of ourselves. I want to remind you of how powerful you really are. If you live in complete faith that things are always working out for you, let go of what's not working for you (including the thoughts that don't serve you), and remain in the flow of our powerful Source, one hundred percent of the time, things will end up even better than you could have imagined.
