So, a few "real" days have gone by since the post about the book "Excuses Begone"... I've finished the book and the thing that really stuck with me out of it was this... When I am connected to the Source and aligned with the Source, I am living fulfillment. When I disconnect from the Source, then I'm going to be struggling.
I have been struggling lately with doing things that other people want me to do and not saying "no" to them. I do things because other people want me to do them, not because I want to do them. So I tried to move into a space of self-care where I did what I wanted to do and... well... I think I took it too far...
There is a balance to be struck between self-care and generosity of spirit and self. If I am aligned with Source, which is all about generosity and contributing to others, then my life will be a flow. But I need to choose to be generous because I choose to be generous... It's not that other people ask me to do things, or that I have to do things for others (work, etc.)... it's the space that I bring to it. It's my relationship to it that matters. I can do things with a spirit of resentment and feel pissed off that I have to do all these things. Or I can choose to do something because I choose to choose to do it... Subtle but powerful...
Wayne Dyer, in his book, gives 18 of the most common excuses, one of which is "too busy" and another of which is "not enough energy"... Sounds familiar to me! I also get that if I come at something aligned with the idea of "lack" or "absence"... then that is what I'm going to create in my space as well. If I say "not enough energy"... that's what I'm going to create. If I belief I'm "too busy"... nothing I do will ever make me feel like I've cleared my plate to the point that I'm not busy...
It's a shift in thinking... a shift in alignment... it happens like that... or not...
