Living a Life Without You in It?
I was living my life without ME in it and then pain crashed in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Death and grief destroyed my facade. Anger and betrayal shook my being, and I began to feel. And I felt it all - good - bad - and ugly for the first time. Pain stripped off my mask. Pain fractured my silence. Pain woke up the sleeping girl within. And through this pain I allowed my heart to slowly beat….. again and again, and again. I allowed the energy of my anger, grief, and sadness to pull me into a new healing journey of awakening, unwinding, owning, rising, and embracing the real powerful brilliant me. Instead of stuffing, denying, or numbing my anger I turned around and starred it in the face, welcomed it, honored it, and used the energy of it to move me forward into a new awakening and rising.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT I HAD TO CHOOSE THE AWAKENING! I HAD TO CHOOSE THE RISING! I HAD TO FACE THE SADNESS AND THE ANGER.
AND I DID!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I CHOOSE TO:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
EMBRACE THE PAIN.
FACE THE ANGER.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TURN INWARD.
WAKE UP TO LIFE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
RECEIVE GRACE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
UNWIND.
UNBIND.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
UNLEARN. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

DISCOVER.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ACCEPT MYSELF.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
OWN MY BRILLIANCE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ASK FOR WHAT I WANTED.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
USE MY VOICE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TAKE BOLD ACTION.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
EMBRACE MY WORTHINESS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
RISE UP IN MY POWER.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LOVE MYSELF ---- ALL OF ME.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND SHINE MY LIGHT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Death, grief, and pain will smash your facade, slap you down, fracture your heart, and try to choke the life out of you? The physical death of a loved one is brutal on the heart; but also the death of a marriage; the death of friendship; the death of a dream; the death of limiting beliefs; and death of all the habitual ways you people-please, prove, hide, avoid, deny, and numb.
Pain has a way of shutting you down and you have your own unique way of coping; everyone does. And I’m not saying your way is right or wrong - But I am saying, there is another way. A way to stop running from and run towards; A way to stop asking “why” and start asking “what”; A way to stop disconnecting and start reconnecting. A way to stop avoiding and start embracing; A way to stop sleeping and start awakening; A way to stop blaming and start owning; A way to stop “running from” and start “facing towards”; And a way to stop shrinking and start rising!
