So, how do we surrender to life?
This was a question that I plagued myself with for a good few years whilst navigating my own healing. Being warped with anxiety and tension for most of my life from being in survival mode for the entirety of my life... I didn't know how to be anything else. (That's why I started to learn Tarot at 12.. to always be ahead of the game.. felt like I had atleast a fighting chance of survival this way.. but Tarot Brought me so much more.. but that's another post).
You probably hear very often these days about letting go and surrendering to life and its divine plan for us. That once we do finally let go, we no longer live in a high cortisol and Dopamine state... keeping us plugged into a state of chasing rather then attracting. Feeding into this role the we tell ourselves we aren't enough and if we don't chase it.. it will never come... but see it like this... when we're in a pool and you're on a lino floating happily.. you see a beach ball or floating cocktail (whatever floats your boat).. you realise... I want that!.. you start paddling your way over there and realise its taking too long so you start thrashing a little harder... but with each movement, you push it further away from you... but instead if you just laid there, gentle movement and trust and being present with just enjoying the moment... you'll find that floating object suddenly bash against your lino... it found you.
This is with all our manifestations.
The tools and experience I share on here and ones that I do myself, on my Journey. Some days my anxious mind of needing to know why my manifestations haven't arrived. Putting myself back in feelings of lack and victim mode... taking myself back to self talk and self parenting...
I'm now also looking to keep myself in a peaceful state by choosing to interact less. Less with Social media, less with conversations I don't feel I need to be part of and now with what I choose to surround myself with as stimuli... I used to love a good ghost story horror flick and documentaries about murder investigations... to get a cheap thrill. A constant hit of dopamine and seeing dramas unfold online.. taking part in click bait news stories to throw my ten pence in.
I do none of these things now and this helps keep me in a state of personal control of my own triggers and allows me to move with the flow of life... I respond, not react.
I'm not perfect... but I find this to help me with my own feelings and intrusive thoughts.
If you're someone like me who was dogged by anxiety and a need to just feel like I'm doing and being enough.... start by reducing your stimuli, unplug and self parent your inner dialogue.... see how you get on 🙏✨️
