A message from today’s meditation:
We often navigate life with a constant internal commentary, a relentless inner critic that judges our every move. “I should have done this better,” “I’m not good enough,” “I’m failing.” These thoughts, rooted in our ego, create a limited and often painful experience.
These inner narratives are a very real part of the human experience, but we are all invited to learn that there is a deeper truth to who we are as well. A deeper essence to our experience that’s not as loud.
A quiet strength that doesn’t judge but speaks a gentle truth in the absence of fear.
“To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth – not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.” – Debbie Ford
… Reaching for truth not from your head or your ego, but from your heart, your higher-self…
“Your soul is infinitely creative. It is alive and expansive in nature. It is curious and playful, changing with the tides of time.” – Debbie Ford
… Your soul is expansive in nature…
“If you look to your past or even your present to see why you are here or what your purpose is, you may get stuck in a limited view of yourself. Instead, look beyond your years here on earth, reconnect with the divine, and bring forth your soul’s legacy into the present moment.” – Debbie Ford
… Reach for your connection to your soul …
“Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.” – Debbie Ford
When I was much younger, the thought of looking at myself and not pointing out what is “right” or “wrong” was really confusing to me. It felt like if there wasn’t at least some judgement, then I would just be ruled by the “worst” parts of me. It felt as though being hard on myself was the correct tool to keep myself at my “best”.
It took me years to realize that judgement is such a limited tool, that the best we can do in the face of criticism is to only just stay ahead of the punishment we fear. In other words, the highest achievement that judgement and criticism can hope to attain is to turn us into the best versions of our limited selves.
Who am I being in that moment that I can look at myself without judgement?
When I am able to come face to face with the full spectrum of who I am and feel only acceptance – even though I can clearly see which parts of me I want to keep working on – then I have clearly stepped into an un-limited version of myself, the part of me that is motivated not by fear but by a heart full of love for this human. The part of me that will hold myself to nothing less than the expression of my soul.
Debbie Ford’s message is to reach for your connection to your soul, because your divine wisdom only ever acts for the highest good.
A few affirmations to guide your journey:
- I am more than my thoughts; I am the limitless essence of my soul.
- I embrace the full spectrum of who I am with love and acceptance.
- I choose to act from my higher self, motivated by love, not fear.
- I reconnect with the divine within me and bring forth the expression of my soul.
By embracing the wisdom of our souls, we break free from the limitations imposed by our egos. Being grounded in our deeper truth opens us to the creativity that is our birthright, the authentic expression of our soul.
Have a beautiful day beautiful human!
