The Holiday Season – A Time For Self-Reflection
No matter what your religious views or spiritual beliefs, the holiday season offers us all a time of deep reflection and an opportunity to see another cycle come to a close.
Life is all about growth, constant change, and continual evolution in expansion of consciousness. As we come upon the last month of 2021 we have the opportunity to take the time to sit back and look closely at what we created this year and what we continue to create for ourselves now.
The Magic Of The Holiday Season
The magic of the holiday season is in the profound emotional effect it has on all of us. Whether one is rejoicing in gratitude or feeling low and despondent; we all know the power that the month of December can bring.
Emotions are a powerful tool for higher self-awareness exploration. When we tap into our feelings and emotions we acknowledge parts of ourselves that have gone hidden, were lost, or made to be silent.
As we start this month and look forward to our traditions and celebrations let us take personal inventory.
Where do you hold yourself back? Where are you not living to your fullest?
Some of you may have an immediate answer to this question. But others might struggle to answer this.
If you do struggle to answer this question, I’ll offer you a clue.
What do you find yourself complaining about most? Who or what is the target of your criticisms?
You may say, I don’t hold myself back – it’s other people, situations, and circumstances, that is the problem.
It is never the external circumstances that cause our suffering, it is always our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions that cause our suffering. All thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions can be changed.
Challenging Your Old Programs
The process of spiritual evolution is one of wholeness, integration and realization. Only you can offer this to yourself.
As a spiritual teacher and mentor I often tell my client’s to stop looking to the world to change.
Stop looking to the world to validate you.
Stop looking to the world to acknowledge you.
Stop looking to the world to love you.
Let go of all the expectations you have of others, because unfulfilled expectations only cause suffering.
What you are in fact seeking is fulfillment. The kind of peace and bliss that is self-created, self-sustaining, and self-fulfilling. This is not a pipe dream, this is in fact the only lasting satisfactory source of bliss you can find.
The source is YOU and always has been you. You have only projected it unto people, objects, or circumstances making it appear as if these outside things are the source of your fleeting fulfillment. They never were.
If you are ready to discover how to create more joy, more bliss, more lasting fulfillment through the only source that you can control then you are ready to embark on a 90 day coaching transformation program with me. If you are tired of feeling trapped, confused, and stuck now is the time to give yourself the gift of self-transformation.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. – Carl Jung
Think clearly and deeply, go into the structure of your desires and their ramifications. They are a most important part of your mental and emotional make-up and powerfully affect your actions. Remember, you cannot abandon what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself. – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Deeply investigating our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can be a very cathartic, empowering, and uplifting process of self-discovery and exploration.
Give to yourself what you wish others would give you.
As we enter this magical month give yourself some time to think about what you’ve created this year.
If you know it’s time to make some changes and are ready to let go of limiting beliefs please schedule a discovery call with me.
