✨November 30th, 2023 - Reflection✨
Good Morning Mystics!
I recently went through a difficult experience that's left me feeling very low. This is a huge thing to admit to the internet and you, Mystics, but I've been struggling. I've been regressing into old patterns. It feels like a Tower Moment—dramatic music ensues. Okay, a mini tower moment, but it's still be a lot. That said, this experience has given me time to reflect on certain lessons I've been learning throughout 2023.
✨
In the Spiritual Community a lot of people say, "Things happen for a reason." Or, "This is a lesson meant to teach you something." And as true as those statements are, it's extremely hard to see the experience from that perspective when going through it. Those phrases can be repeated over and over again, but when a person is struggling and is feeling low, it won't make them see a different perspective. They will come to it on their own terms as they heal and grow. It's about allowing them to be where they're at because this is where they are and that's okay. Of course, if it starts to get worse, then additional help is absolutely required.
✨
There's also a trap within "Things happen for a reason" because sometimes shit just happens. The danger with this statement is going down a rabbit hole of why's, what-ifs, should'ves, could'ves., would'ves. One could loose their mind just thinking about it all! Sometimes the best place to start is acknowledging it happened and it sucks. And then you just hold yourself where you are.
✨
The experience I've been through has asked a lot of me mentally. To work through new beliefs and stories that might come from what happened. To work on building new foundations. It was pointed out to me that I keep repeating what others think about what happened—not what I think. And that of course made me cry because it's true: as much as I have been giving myself space, I haven't been fully acknowledging what I think or where I'm truly at.
✨
Sometimes we attach ourselves to the perspectives of another because it helps us form what we should think. We know we should, but why don't we? Because we haven't reached that perspective yet. It takes time and processing. In my case, what another says is helping me see where I'm being too hard on myself. All of my thoughts are natural after the experience I've had, and it's okay. I want to say I'll go back to normal, but this experience has changed me. And that's really what experiences do—they offer us opportunities to trust ourselves, deepen relationships, act courageously, follow what we love, prove we are strong in difficult situations, etc. They offer shifts and transformations even if they are super difficult and we wish anything else could happen instead.
✨
But it's happened, so what am I going to do with the experience? Move forward one baby step at a time taking what I can from it. Because that's all I can do—while also being gentle with myself.
Note: This post will not resonate with everyone and that's okay. Take what does and leave the rest. Trust your intuition!
