Trust in the timing...

Trust in wisdom...

Trust in the Universe...

Trust in Mind...

Did you need to be reminded of this today? Just so you know, I have to remind myself all the time, and heavily so in the last week.

It's amazing where our thoughts can take us, isn't it? Expectations have been running rampant in my brain and they can lead to such intense thought storms. I'm so passionate about my work and so eager to reach the masses, I get caught up in my thinking that I wish the word was spreading about me at a more rapid pace. I can get caught up in my thinking that I need to be doing more, posting more, writing more, meditating more, visualizing more, emailing more, connecting more. And yet because I do all of those things on the daily and I'm not wildly successful yet, when I'm in that thought storm I can start to have fearful and impatient thinking about how long it's going to take before I do reach the masses, before I have a full private practice, before I have inquiries for speaking engagements, before I'm asked to write contributing articles, and so on and so on and so on.

And then I remember...

Trust in the timing...

Trust in wisdom...

Trust in the Universe...

Trust in Mind...

None of the thoughts are real. They look really real to me when I'm in the chaos of my personal mind because my Ego is desperate for more. My Ego tells me I should be at Oprah's level even though I leapt from my job and made myself fully available to the world a mere 5 and a half months ago. And really, what is Ego? What bubbles up for me is that it's merely more thoughts, but with a loud f#$%ing mouth. It's the overbearing and shrill voice of the P.E. teacher in school, screaming into the megaphone to stop walking and start running around the race track or else you aren't going to get enough laps in for the day (God bless Ms. Moody, but her name was very apropos). But like the P.E. teacher, the Ego is well intentioned I just don't have to believe everything it says. I appreciate the drive and confidence it gives me, but beyond that I have to remind myself that any negative thoughts it produces is again, as always, just thoughts. I have to remind myself to take a page from my own book and remember that you CANNOT RUSH the beautiful timing of the Universe, of Mind. My wisdom is always correct, my wisdom can absolutely be trusted. I get messages from people daily that I've helped them, I've touched them, I've reminded them that they are totally normal and human for getting caught up in the whirlwind of the punches life throws them, but that there is peace available to them the moment they choose it.

That's what matters. That's the work.

So if there is anywhere in your life that you're feeling impatient, let me remind you that as long as you're in touch with your wisdom, as long as you're doing what FEELS right, you are always being guided at the pace that is absolutely on purpose. I'm reminding myself right now as I write this because I'm human too and man oh man it can be hard sometimes. Remember that if you're thrown into a thought storm, the nature of the energy of Thought is flowing, so it will pass. It feels like it won't because thoughts can feel so real and true, but they aren't. And because our feelings come from our thoughts 100% of the time, they flow right along with the waves of Thought. It's magnificently simple but seems absolutely difficult when we're wrapped up in the complexity of our brains. I promise you, I understand.

All in all, after this very cathartic Monday Musings, I'm back to feeling peaceful as I hope you are feeling as well. I will take each next step the best I know how and trust that life will continue to unfold FOR me and not against me, because that is truly the way it works. I don't have to be moving faster, doing more, forcing my way through life, because all that does is create a stressed out Jess that isn't taking in the beautiful and magical moments of my everyday experiences. Thank you for being here with me, thank you for trusting me with your open heart while I open your eyes to a different perspective. I hope this gives you insight into that conversation you're fearing to have, that leap you're wanting to take, that problem you're wanting to figure out, that promotion you're wishing came quicker - the blueprint is already drawn, the road is already paved - honor your wisdom, do what feels right, and let go of the rest.

So much love to you, see you next week~
