spiritual inventory check
y’all. its been such a long time and i been in my own world but hold up, let me greet you with some love real quick.
before reading further, take a pause. take a deep breath. feel the air filling your lungs, and give thanks to your body and your organs for doing the hard work without you even thinking about it. and give thanks to God that your body works as well as it does, and that your mind thinks the way that it does and that there is no one on this earth like you. you're one of a kind. i love you and i hope you love yourself even more than i do.
sisters, how y'all feeling?
brothers (the few of yall that are subscribed, we thank you for the support), y'all alright?
baby listen. it's something about the fall season. your girl be in HIBERNATION mode. i'm not gonna lie, i've been watching christmas movies since november 1st. i have no shame! christmas time is my favorite time of the year. i love the end of the year holidays! i love all the festivities and the magical feeling that is wrapped in the holiday season — it makes me feel so nostalgic and connected to my inner child.
speaking of connecting to your inner child, how have y'all been catering to yours lately? have you been giving yourself space to feel any emotions that have come up? have you been giving yourself space to acknowledge and inspect your triggers? have you been asking yourself questions and being still enough and quiet enough to hear the answers?
lately i have been called to silence more — to listening. i find myself driving in silence often, being in my house doing house chores in silence often. i've been being called to sit and meditate more. and you know my spiritual team be fed up because they know as soon as i sit down i think of something i could be doing and get right up but GUESS WHAT. i been sitting my ass down more, and that's something for me to be proud of. i am choosing to listen and be in alignment instead of ignoring the things my spirit is calling me towards. if my spirit wants me to be still, i will be still. there is always something to find in the stillness and it always shows me what i need to know. that's where i find the answers to my prayers and my questions. that's where i find myself feeling more peaceful. that's where all the outside noise disappears and i am able to connect with myself and with God. if my life is too loud i will only be able to hear the noise, and so i have to intentionally quiet it down a bit because the outside noise is not what matters to me. what matters to me is being in alignment with God, and with my ancestors and with myself.
and in wanting to be in such alignment, i have to reassess my environment on a regular basis. i have to assess what's working for me and what's not. i have to assess what feels good and what doesn't. i have to assess what habits and thoughts are beneficial for me and which ones are not. and i have to do it often, this isn't a once a year type of thing. we are always changing and so it would do us so much good to do these kinds of spiritual inventory checks often. we are not the same person we were 5 years ago, or 1 year ago, or even a week ago. we could discover things about ourselves tomorrow and decide to make changes based on that discovery, and that would move us to see what's in alignment with this version of ourselves that we're moving into. and as a manifesting-generator (human design talk), i love that. like we don't have to be one version of ourselves. we can give ourselves space to expand and become whatever version of ourselves that we are supposed to be.
so give yourself room, give yourself that space and sit in the silence gf. that's where you're going to find yourself over and over again. i believe in your ability to know what's best for you and in your ability to find it. so, before we end our chatty chat, quick reminder that you are your own home, you are your own magic and you are your own fullness. keep coming back home to yourself.
a few affirmations that i love right now:
♥ I am allowing myself to shine.
♥ I am grateful for every moment and what it's teaching me.
♥ I am myself, and that's enough.
until next time babes, be well.
