Awakening is a process, not an event.
Awakening is gritty at best and uncomfortable at most.
We awaken multiple times throughout our life and feel the pains within each growths curve.
I struggled with wanting my process to look glamorized, presentable and most certainly likable. I wanted to be chosen even when I wasn't choosing myself, as though waiting for someone to say "if you do this, then X will be your reward."
Hearing messages, pulling the oracle cards, sitting in front of mentors who continued to say that my biggest lesson in this life was to learn the ways of self-compassion. To lower my own sword and love myself unconditionally - I sought a spiritual bypass time and time again.
Perhaps, this is your struggle, too? The wanting to be there whole, complete and perfect only to realize that “there” is a forever moving mark and perfection doesn’t exist.
The invitation is not “how do I make my process more comfortable for others to bear witness to?” but rather, what can you do to relate to yourself in a way that leaves you feeling connected to self-compassion and self-forgiveness as you Become?
What can you do to mother yourself as you navigate a very forever lot in life we call Evolution?
Release the pressure of sugar coating to appear more pleasing, and gift yourself the space of living authentically by speaking and acting in ways that feel true to you. After all, it only ever matters that you get you.
