Challenge - A gift in disguise?!

This is only required if your challenge is causing a STRESS response.

If not, crack on, you’re all good, enjoy it with relish!

Firstly, if you recognise that you are having a stress response……..

CONGRATULATIONS!

Seriously!

Be impressed with yourself!

This is a glorious level of self-awareness.

Bask in its rays of goodness & enlightenment & top up your tan,

you don’t need any SPF for this one!

It is the golden key to unlock the gates of freedom on your path to peace & victory!

Hallelujah!

The next part comes with a slight warning,

because,

if you are going through something really BIG, you might want to swear!

I did, many times on my journey & you don’t have to listen to me,

we all have freedom of choice.  

BUT, I can honestly say, it was the medicine I didn’t want but absolutely needed!

Easier to see with hindsight, like pretty much everything really!

OK, ready….?!

Let’s try it or at least play let’s pretend!

Side note: did you know that ‘willingness’ is a high vibrational state?

When we practise willingness, it opens the mind which opens possibilities & surely that’s got to be a good thing?

Ok, I invite you to imagine you believe that everything in your life is happening FOR you, not TO you

(very different vibes, one empowered, the other literally powerless).

Imagine you know that everything is designed to empower you to grow into the version

of yourself that you are destined to become on your highest life path.

Oooh that’s right, let the mind stretch, like yoga for neurons, warrior pose if you wish!

Write down all the reasons you can think of to support this case.

Go big! Take your time.

Imagine (if you can meditate / visualise this, you can 10X it!) you have come through the other side of this challenge.

Imagine you are in a great place, reflecting on the following:

·      All you can appreciate about yourself & the person you have become.

·      What you learned about resilience, creativity & inner strength.

·      What support you received & how relationships have changed, enhanced or ended for the better.

·      What you overcame in your thinking patterns (pinpoint it).

·      What negative feelings / emotions you released (name them).

·      What new beliefs you developed that support you going forward.

·      How you now use your experience to help others.

That should be feeling pretty good by now & if you’ve gone to the effort, it shows a great deal of dedication to your personal development – bravo!

Everything you can imagine exists on another level of reality energetically.

When we connect with this, we bring the future into the now moment. We invite possibility, positivity, vision, peace & comfort.

For this, we need to dip into the shadow for a short while.

I mean what with all that basking in the light of self-awareness,

we now have the power to hang out in the shade without going dark!

What am I talking about?! Fear.

Fear is perfectly normal!

We ALL have it, there are no exceptions.

It is a part of the common human experience.

We do each have our own particular flavour of fear to work with,

it’s part of the signature cocktail that makes us who we are with all the interesting colours & flavours!

It might look like anything from control, perfectionism, impatience, frustration, disappointment, worry, overthinking to guilt, shame, doubt or victim consciousness to name a few.

It is all here to be worked with.

And if we are taking the spiritually intelligence perspective that it is here to empower us,

there must be something marvellous to experience when we take this fear on!

Once you know what you are working with,

you can start to shake it (& really, it needs a whole lot of love)!

So, grab your spiritual shovel, dig in & look at what is beneath the stress response.

Stress is a cover story for the limiting belief / your personal flavour of fear that is lurking

in your subconscious & trying to derail you from the truth like a little gremlin!

Really, it is just trying to keep you safe, so it’s not all bad…it just needs retraining.

The truth is that you are enough, you can handle this & you are stronger than you know.

With all the loving kindness you can muster, go about some self-enquiry.

Ask the gremlin / guardian of the trapdoor of fear (can you hear it creaking?!)

“What are you protecting me from?”

Let yourself freely explore this, journal on it from a non-judgemental state.

Judgement closes the mind, so remain Curious – the open-minded antidote!

If you find you have gone into judgement…

recognise this could be because you are making it mean something about yourself that is NOT true.

We can choose a more empowering perspective & we owe it to ourselves to do so.

This is called self-love. We cannot truly thrive under other conditions.  

You will discover the root of this weed (Hurrah, another victory)!

Remember weeds aren’t all bad so bring some compassion along please.

Just like a nettle – it can sting but when changed in form, it can be a great healer!

Nothing exists that cannot be healed through the power of love.

Recognise this pattern, it will crop up again like a track on Spotify!

That’s how we work & it’s OK, drop the resistance to having to be perfect.

Continue to re-train it so you can continue to develop into the real you.  

You can thank if for keeping you safe, but explain it just can’t be in the driving seat of your mind for the next stage. Pop it in the passenger seat.

Especially when that gremlin can only handle the power of a Moris Minor & you’re on your way to becoming a Lotus Evija!  

Be in the present moment as much as possible, they don’t call it a gift for nothing.

Btw…did you know people who live in the present moment more often stay younger for longer…?! Now there’s an incentive!

I do hope this helps or has at least made you smile.

If I can help in any way, feel free to get in touch.

I offer 121 coaching & group workshops to empower, expand & delight!

Good Vibes, Amanda G
