That's my thought this morning!
As I sit with the energy of personal accountability & what it means to me. It feels like the glue that will help "things" to stick. It speaks of personal responsibility, commitment & self discipline.
All these energies are the glue that help new ways of being form.
Creating & supporting the momentum that we need to carry on.
I have been making a few excuses of late!
I've noticed that excuses & old narratives have crept back in. Man they are strong. Rooted in my subconscious as programming. They remerge a lot! Sometimes stronger than others.
It can be frustrating if I think about it too much - but thankfully this sense of frustration is now just a cue to surrender & know that I need to move back into my sense of trusting in my foundational knowing's for self - For my higher self.
Which is pretty much just getting back to the basics.
Interestingly my higher self is supported by my foundations - Yin/yang.
This consists of slothing away all that I know does not serve me. Keeping it simple. Creating space for what I know I need.
Moving into creation. Attracting towards me that which I wish to create - through actions aligned with my higher self. Not past versions of myself - the known.
Accountability
Has been the word of the week so far. It has come in the form of:
Writing down words each day that affirm the way of being I am embracing.
Noticing "excuses" or old narratives arise - then realigning to the way of being I am embracing.
Thinking greater than I feel.
Trusting/Knowing as I sink back into these foundational ways of being for myself - that they will in time help me to come back into alignment in - body, mind, wairua.
Routine - Routine helps me when I am like this. Structure serves me. There is a time to ebb & flow with life & there is a time for structure.
Compassion - being kind. Recognising that really its not as bad as I think it is - & cutting myself some slack!
Keeping in mind - small steps are valuable. As we know - every mountain climbed started with the first step.
Acknowledging resistance - knowing that this is me shifting/moving through my old ways of being that have remerged. That I am in active creation when I feel it. That change waits on the other side.
Tools in my kete
These are all the tools I now have in my kete. Gosh I am so grateful for them! It has taken many years of commitment to myself & my own spiritual journey & what that means to me - to create this kete of tools for myself.
It was filled with trial & error, but also small steps that I could feel were taking me in the right direction.
Each step has brought me to where I am today.
With many healthy tools that serve in my kete of knowledge. My life skills. These help me to continue to create the life that I want to live. To navigate things that are testing & to always continue to learn & grow.
Cause that's what it is all about!
I trust in myself & the lessons that life presents to me - that they are here to teach me valuable facets of the lessons that I still need to master.
I must stay committed.
In order to create the life I want to live - I must also stay accountable to myself & my actions. Knowing that each one is either creating that which I wish to see or repeating the past.
Accountability is a valuable stepping stone.
It all counts.
AND the truth is that life ebbs & flows. Just as Mother Earth - Papatuanuku has seasons - so do I. Moving out of the expectation that myself & life will always be the "same" is just not realistic!
I am forever changing, as is life. My power lies in awareness around this - then meeting my moments in a way that serves.
