When we\\u2019re called to walk a path of personal and spiritual transformation, it can be easy to lose sight of what we are going and what we are trying to achieve. Or perhaps we\\u2019re aiming for something that doesn\\u2019t exist?
\\nSo what are we trying to achieve? Enlightenment? Always being Joyful & in Flow space? Being Happy?
\\nI\\u2019m going to burst some bubbles here\\u2026 life ebbs and flows and when we\\u2019re happy and in flow state\\u2026 then super! But how easily are we knocked out of that space when life happens around us? When we are faced with hardship, loss, break-ups and breakdowns?
\\nThen we\\u2019re not happy or joyful. Old stories and behaviours come up \\u2013 we find ourselves acting in ways that really don\\u2019t serve us. But it\\u2019s happened before we even realise.
\\nSo what is it we need?
\\nWe need a toolkit \\u2013 that\\u2019s the point of the work. To build an effective, supportive toolkit that we can open at any time and know we have what we need to be able to ride this wave called life. We may not become an enlightened being \\u2013 but we can become effective shamanic people.
\\nBut there\\u2019s a step to this that many people miss. And that\\u2019s the action and the work it takes to awaken our inner healer, fill our toolbox and move through life with as much grace as we can muster.
\\nSome steps we can take include
\\nSo, take those steps every day \\u2013 whatever it takes, find a way to work towards a tool kit that actually works for you.
\\nActivities this week
\\n1. Write down all the self-care, spiritual steps, meditating, journaling, mantras, behavioural changes, counselling techniques, reiki, shamanic (or otherwise) steps you take or have taken in your life to support your personal and spiritual growth.
\\nSpend some time and celebrate those steps.
\\nDon\\u2019t let that voice come in that says \\u2018I should be doing more\\u2019 or \\u2018this isn\\u2019t good enough\\u2019
\\nJust spend some time in gratitude and thank yourself
\\nDo this at least once a week to keep yourself motivated and in a positive place.
