It's safe to say the Universe has been testing us over the past few weeks in the New Beginnings Household. It's felt like one challenge after another....
Relentless noise from building work next door.....
Sudden loss of income.....
Uncertainty for The Cosy Cabin.....
Lilly's two Strokes.....
Supporting a dog with disabilities.....
Dealing with Lilly's trauma and aggression....
Martin's Mum's ill health....
My awkward GP who doesn't understand Menopause even though she's in it herself!
I've found myself slipping into a negative mindset of fear and anger and thinking, “Why us?”
Not being able to go for my long walks and spending alot of time inside has really lowered my vibe.
But today, I made sure Lilly was safely tucked up in her cage and headed out in nature with Little Larry. Playing in the leaves, enjoying the sunshine and the showers and moving my body helped to really raise my vibe again.
I enjoyed a ceremonial grade cacao when we got home (tried a new one today, it was lovely!), spent time connecting with my breath and my heart space and took some time to 'just be'.
Taking this time out today reminded me that our struggles are not always random. Instead, maybe they're actually part of our personal growth. Many spiritual traditions believe that the Universe gives us challenges that match where we are in life. These challenges push us to grow, learn, and get stronger.
So today I took a step back to look at the bigger picture and ask "what do I need to learn from these challenges?" Although easier said than done, I'll trust the process that life is unfolding exactly as it should. Even when you don’t understand why things are happening, we need to trust that there’s a bigger plan in motion. The more you trust, the more peaceful you’ll feel during life’s toughest moments.
While I may not know what the next few weeks will bring, I'll continue to tap into the practices that raise my vibe and support me to trust the process.....
If you are facing challenges right now, I see you! Take a deep breath and remember: this is part of your journey. There’s a lesson in it, it’s here to help you grow ❤️.
