Lesson 44: This understanding...

“Lesson 44: This understanding: that you are sometimes moving forward in flow, sometimes gathering information, and sometimes you are resting for the next leg, will make your trip a lot more fun.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today I am to think about what state of movement I am in. I believe I am in a state of gathering. For me, I am trying to learn about myself, learn what brings me joy the most and learn along my spiritual journey. There is a lot of knowledge to be gained and I feel very much beginner. I know there is a lot to come this year and it will naturally flow in my life.

The other day I did a card reading and it said to be careful as I may burn out. I am trying to use up as much of my time as possible, and by doing this it means I don’t get the right amount of sleep. The problem is, my mind is most active at midnight and that’s not manageable in my 9-5 job. I have stayed up until 2am writing and it’s taxing on my mind and body. Based on today’s lesson, there will come a time when I will slow down and rest. I am really focused on going full steam ahead as I don’t want to get in a state of laziness. If I do get to a point of laziness, it means i will neglect the activities that make me happy.

I never really thought about the cycle in this way but it makes sense. You gather, it flows, you rest, like a natural state of affairs.  

2018 365 Day Challenge

I took on the 365 days of Gratitude challenge for 2017. I'm not sure why I thought about doing it but I thought why not try and find something every day that you are thankful for. It was a big challenge as some days when you are the lowest, you would really have to sit there and think, what am i grateful for? It's a practise in positivity and I am glad to have done it. Now for 2018!

I found the Daily Om on some Facebook ads and when I clicked on that ad was opened up to many more courses that would help with my spirituality. I decided to buy the "A Year to Clear What is Holding You Back!" and "A Year of Spiritual Awakening in Your Inbox". Both are daily challenges with themes throughout them. I said I wouldn't do another 365 day challenge but here I am testing myself. I think it'll integrate naturally into my life so I'm not worried about it. It also forces me to blog daily and I am happy to be somewhat forced to write every day. I have neglected my writing and it's time I picked up and committed to it if I want to be successful in it.

Bring on the new year!
