Living Your Best Life… What Does That Mean? (Revised)

 

I have been absent for a long time because I have been working on myself. I have been digging deep and healing my past traumas, learning more about myself and the strength within me. I have expanded my capacity for compassion and love, and I can honestly say that this has led me to greater access to joy on a daily basis! Once I stopped filling my head with garbage from TV, and instead watching higher vibrational transmissions, I was able to raise my own energetic frequencies for longer periods of time. It’s both easy and challenging! Once you’re able to catch personal judgements and shift them in the moment, you’re on your road to personal mastery. It’s a freeing practice, too! Most of the time (not always!) I’m able to accept and move through negative thoughts and emotions more quickly and with more grace. Outer circumstances don’t upset me like they used to. It’s the type of freedom I have always craved for myself! I will have easier days and more challenging days, for sure. However, it’s much easier for me to dig for the lessons in the negative experiences, allowing me to move through them with positivity. 

When I was living in California, I was working in construction, making good money, with the ability to travel, pay for nice vacations and treat my friends & family to little trips, too. But I was working over 40 hours a week, and fatigued on the weekends, and I was pulsing with this feeling that there was more to life than living for the weekends. I could hear my soul calling to me, telling me that I needed to move to the east coast. Long story short, once I’d made the decision to do that, everything fell into place. True that my family and friends thought I was having a midlife crisis. True they maybe thought I was making a huge mistake. But it didn’t matter to me, because there was an internal voice speaking to me, and that voice was more insistent and held more power than any other voice outside of me. I’m realizing, some 15 years later, that my winding, weaving, convoluted path through my life is the journey I was meant to take. All the lessons in it were for my growth and expansion. I needed to learn A LOT! I still don’t know where my path is taking me, but it really doesn’t matter when you understand the most important truth: NOW is all we have to experience. NOW is when all things happen, so when we choose to learn and experience and grow in this now moment, we are living as closely as we can to our soul. And when we listen to the whispers of our higher self, our soul, then we are continually moving towards our best life.
