Review and Release

Hello Loves!

Welcome to Review and Release Friday!!!
 

How has your week been? Was it full of opportunities to BE aware of your energy (attitude)? Did you experience any uncomfortable interactions with others and wonder why it happened? Were you able to OBSERVE your part in each experience? And, were you able to let go of any judgments of your Self and others in the process?

I personally experienced a few moments where I was "painfully" aware of how I was sharing information. As I was standing outside of my Self watching my interactions, I could see that I was "trying" to get all the words in my head into a conversation on multiple occasions. I could see that I was coming from a place of resistance or force and I was not able to reel myself back in. I was observing all my intentions and actions in the moment and could see that I was completely in my head and not feeling into what I was saying. I tend to spend a lot of my time in this Observer Mode and usually I am able to stop myself if I begin to see an unloving pattern (i.e. grasping, trying, or wanting to convince). Since I didn't seem able to stop myself this time, I decided to look deeper into WHY I was choosing to be this way with others instead of listening and allowing a little more. 

I realized that there was a pattern or feeling of rejection coming up for Review and Release. We are all carrying so much baggage with us sometimes that we forget to take a look inside to see what emotions we're schlepping around.

Are we harboring anger or resentment? Is it sadness, grief and loss? Are we experiencing physical symptoms because of this baggage we're carrying? Like symptoms of depression, fatigue, or pain.

The root of the rejection I was feeling came from my teenage years and was here to show me how it was now spilling over into my current interactions and new relationships that I'm forming. The subtle feeling of "not good enough" or "not smart enough" was coming to the surface. It was reminding me that now is a time of listening and observing. It was reminding me to slow down and allow things to happen as I align, reach out, and connect. It was also reminding me to let go of what does not belong to me.
