Truth be told I had a complete melt down a few days ago. I remember my mom always saying that my brother and I were like chickens constantly pecking at each other. Well that’s what it feels like lately except it’s not my brother, it’s Spirit at play. It’s my team putting me in scenarios so I can fully embody my latest mantra which is act as if nothing bothers you.
The point is to get to the place where nothing really does bother me but unfortunately to get there I have to go through everything under the sun that just might bother me in order to recognize that every solution has a problem. Critical thinking is key as well as far as being able to take a breath when something arises and then think before reacting. I’m getting better but Tuesday I’d had enough.
This morning is a good example, it’s on a smaller scale but a little lesson in mastery nonetheless. I opted to wear flip flops to the skate center knowing I had a pair of socks in my skates, a pair of white ones I’ve only worn twice. I know this because I have a new pair of skates and I’ve had them for two weeks now. I finally hung up my white OG John Henrys and have them currently hanging out in my trunk.
When I went to put my skates on this morning I had no socks. My initial reaction was wait, what, where’s my socks, I know for a fact they were here. My next thought was fine, I don’t need socks, this is just Spirit trying to get a rise outta me. My next thought was why don’t I go look in my trunk for S & G’s (shits-n-giggles) before I go skating sockless. Guess what I found? My white tube socks.
I know for a fact I didn’t put them there because I hadn’t worn my OG’s for two weeks. This is such a prime example of Spirit at play. I shook my head, laughed a little and told them nice try. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I have seen stuff vanish into thin air right along with appear out of nowhere. Not only that, but stuff gets moved around all the time.
Or how ’bout the sunglasses that magically reappeared today (in my skate bag) after mysteriously disappearing over a month ago. I searched that bag thoroughly, and more than once. That was an easy fix though. I put on the spare in my car and purchased another pair that are conveniently located at Walgreens.
I pulled some cards on my way out this morning and asked the universe what it is I should be thinking about today, already knowing it’s about mastery. I’m working on mastering my emotions as well as quieting my mind which actually go hand in hand. What’s even cooler is after the Sagittarius card popped out the first thing to come to my mind was the song ‘free your mind and the rest will follow’ by En Vogue.
The next card out was pretty close to that, it blew my mind a little. Not necessarily a lot because it happens all the time, or at least it’s becoming more frequent. The number one way to freedom is getting out of the mental prison we put ourselves in through overreacting, overthinking and overanalyzing. Lighten up, embrace stillness and be playful are the words from the wise today.
Love and Light
