As I lay in bed visualizing what a grander future looks like for me I’m then brought back into the present moment by the birds singing outside my window. When I return to soaking up all the goodness of a Monday morning I’m finally feeling compelled to write. I haven’t written in a while and I think that’s for the simple fact that I needed a break. A break from writing, a break from the routine with a chance to do some self-reflection and the all mighty, all encompassing introspection.
At first I was thinking oh no, am I not receiving any inspiration, why is it so quiet? It didn’t take long for me to realize I’m simply over-thinking which is exactly why I need to relax, take a step back and loosen up a little. There’s always a need to remember that while I’m here on assignment, yes, but I also need to enjoy the ride while recognizing all the miracles, big and small, that have occurred in my life thus far.
Let’s not forget the fact that spending an extended amount of time with my bestie from New York always leaves me with plenty to think about. Then when you add in all the planetary events happening, not to mention about to happen, combined with Aries season, there’s plenty to reflect on. Reflection and introspection for me is a full time job that happens around the clock 24/7 as I navigate this path to being the best version of me.
With that said, I know there’s no short cuts and I am also well aware everything is set in place to help me grow, but it doesn’t always make it any easier. Okay maybe a little because knowing is half the battle but I’ve finally realized it won’t stop until I continuously allow myself to surrender. Or perhaps it’s better said I have finally surrendered to the realization that it won’t stop until I find peace in the turmoil. There is a solution to every problem.
I can’t help but notice all the little things happening that are, in my opinion, set in place specifically to help me get out of my head which in turn relieves me from the mental turmoil. Finding that peace of mind when I know things are either out of my hands or simply aren’t my problems to harbor. I catch myself all the time and then find myself reminding myself to let it go and move on. It’s something that will either take care of itself or have faith knowing there’s a greater intelligence involved that will handle it without needing any of my assistance.
Of course it’s easier said than done but I can’t help but feel the rapid fire lately of the little things. It’s exhausting sometimes but it’s also helping me to see at the same time. It’s also helping me exercise the fact that what I am in control of is my own emotions which in turn helps me to control my reactions. I also know the ultimate goal for me right now is being non-reactive with just about everything, and that’s by knowing that most (over)reactions come from unhealed traumas or experiences.
I was listening to Dr. Joe Dispenza, well a video magically popped up in my YouTube feed, and he was talking about the chemical reactions in our brains that take place when we do react. Specifically when we overreact and then hold onto those negative reactions. Yikes, no thank you. He was also talking about the need to constantly switch up our routines for the sake of continuously rewiring our brains. Very profound and impactful messages from a man I highly respect.
Listening to him says to me it’s time to return to my roots and help me find what needs focusing on. I haven’t spent a lot of time specifically listening to him so for him to appear in my feed out of nowhere is a signal that it’s no accident and it’s meant for me to hear right now at this point in my journey. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear, in any way and oftentimes out of nowhere.
The year 2025 is all about mastery so that is what I’m focusing on and will continue to focus on knowing that’s where I’m headed. With Neptune moving into Aries for the first time in something like 164 years, on top of the eclipse in Aries on the 29th, there’s a lot of ground shaking opportunities ahead and I for one am super excited. I’m expecting this to be a fantastic year, not just for Aries and myself, but for humanity as a whole.
Mastery isn’t something given, it’s something earned. It’s cultivated in silence, shaped in solitude and refined in the stillness of deep inner work. -Dr. Joe Dispenza
Happy Astrological New Year everybody, Spring has arrived!
