Moving Away & Coming Home

When Michelangelo was asked about creating David, he said he had the vision of David in mind, then slowly chipped away everything that was not David.

I have always been intentional about evaluating what consumes my headspace & energy. But I only recently started drawing hard boundaries based on how I feel first & foremost, then whether it contributes to the vision I have.

And I love feeling my emotions. Not everything makes us feel sad is bad, certainly not everything makes us feel the high is sustainable. One of the journal entries I had in April when work was brutal and my personal relationships were suffering due to that, I wrote:

Woke up feeling extra emotional...wow, how crazy to just experience it all, ups & downs, the disappointments and sadness! I can feel and listen to my heart extra almost, let this sink in..!

The more I learn to stay in tune with myself, the easier for me to understand what drive those around me plus what makes me feel genuinely excited, the easier it is for me to decide where I double down/retract my energy.

It was not easy to remove myself in certain cases. The old version of me would feel obliged to stay because I wanted to be sweet, be respectful, be considerate and be the kindest person possible. That resulted in me literally dragging myself to show up at certain places, pick up certain calls, engage in certain conversations and feeling depleted and time wasted.

Everyone understands that our time on this earth is limited, yet we continue to engage with tasks, standards, requests and people the external circumastances impose on us.

Let them all go...it is not going to be easy. But it's time to set yourself free, because that is the only way you allow what truly matches your frequency and your deepest desires in.

Every time you choose to move away from a position, a conversation, a relationship, a job, a habit that does not fulfill what you know you should be receiving, you are cleansing and creating the space for what you truly deserve to come in front of your eyes and into your reality.

It's going to feel uncomfortable, because it is unfamiliar, because you have to consciously rewire how you have been used to operating. It will not feel as safe.

But the only way to come more home to yourself, is by moving away from what does not serve you for your highest version of yourself & your deepest calling. And only you know what they are.

So...happy letting go, and exploring & embracing the unknown and new x
