I was thinking about what I wanted to write for an article today, and then I realized that kept me distracted, thinking.
So instead, I went through my journal for inspiration, and went back to where I was intuitively drawn to remember things that keep me present and things that keep me stable.
Your gonna wanna give up when your being prepared.
The life we live is adjacent to our true path which we seek through likes, comments, views and selfies.
YOUR STABILITY IS ALWAYS WITHIN YOU
Sometimes the ones we need the most are not here in the physical anymore, and I think that’s why most may struggle with staying aligned with essential things, because let’s just be real, we get so bored where the grief is just so unbearable that we push it away or drowned it. For the first time in 10 years I was able to disconnect from the platform instead of being drained extensively.
I walked away from making 100,000 a year I’ve walked away from making 20,000 a year. It’s not that you’re not worth the money. The goal is to not be famous. The goal is to align with things that create purpose. Everything in my soul is saying it’s time to choose.
Can I choose love, and choose grace?
What is love?
Is it the survival or is it true unconditional surrender.
We all have ideas of love and most spends hours like I did breaking down into pieces for everyone else.
Having a son was the best reset for my life and pushed me away from label and brand that broke me.
I am Elise
I am able to choose.
I’ll spare the details of being bullied, but I will say this someone who is vulnerable to discuss their story does not deserve to be targeted.
Yet here we are, we have moved so far away from humanity it's hard to recognize what's truth I look at the world and a state of being, not just self.
An ode I write to those that still continue to believe and hope and connection.
I see you I have great respect for you inspired me more than you know and that’s just it we’re not supposed to control each other.
We’re not supposed to give each other ultimatums we’re supposed to allow and in that allowance admission comes no communication is communication non-action is action.
You have to learn how to read between what someone is saying to you and their behavior. Remember where our attention goes, our energy flows.
Still, I also realize that some things are just out of your control, no matter how hard you try, so shift your primary focus to embody peace.
Likewise if you want peace be peace if you want love be love embodiment act speak, feel and experience.
Its been imperative, it’s been important and I must notate that when disconnecting to reconnecting isn’t about walking away, or sacrificing for other peoples entertainment. It’s aligning with the truth deeper than yourself; deeper what we call trends or labels. It’s transcending and that makes people upset and you might even get upset with yourself.
The parts of love are not made they are grown, nurtured and then loved. Be done with bread crumbs. Thats why through giving the mind a process not just meditating and journaling.
It’s the tedious process of unpacking. Everything you suppressed and learning how to not let it control your current. “Be like water”-Bruce Lee.
Become the reason you smile, laugh and enjoy life because your stopped letting outside influences decide your cortisol levels.
This week reality hit when its back to essays, discussions and finishing things I started.
Are things that you’re putting off that you have yet to start or finish?
The classes I’m currently taking are extremely supportive as they have helped me understand why we struggle with things like PTSD. When we invest in things that can increase our overall cognitive function and when we find things that we are invested in or passionate about, it encourages you to take the initiative and not be afraid.
What’s the worst that could happen? you fail?
Sure, I failed many times in business and love, and also sometimes just navigating the memories of sexual abuse. I have a memoir called damage Girl if you feel called to read you can also listen to it for free and clicking here.
Disconnect to reconnect allows us to slowly reintroduce things, people, habit, places and the list goes on.
Be ok with slowing down.
There will be a lot of resistance in the beginning, but overtime daily practice discipline, all help create the foundation you need which already exist within you. Its a remembrance you just need to reconnect back to it.
First step in being present is eliminating or reducing distractions.
How does this make me feel?
Do I have to empty to pour?
Are they keeping score?
All valid questions.
