Do Not Force It, Let It Be (Part 2)

For the past six months I have been consciously practicing the act of surrender. After writing my last blog entry, I realized I am not alone in this struggle; but that, many of you are working through this same challenge. My motivation is knowing that on the other side of this lesson is a blessing; the coming to pass of the vision in my heart.

A coping mechanism that gives me reprieve from the anxiety is journaling. Journaling is magical for me. As I write down my thoughts, they literally leave the space of my head and are transferred to the paper.  Having experienced the benefits now for several weeks, whenever I am feeling anxious or experiencing, divine dissatisfaction, as I like to call it (the nervousness and excitement I feel is not bad; it is just positive anticipation of the good I know is coming my way),  I just start writing. After a few moments, my mind is empty and I can relax into the moment.

Journaling is not only therapeutic for me; it is spiritual. As I clear the clutter of my mind, space opens up for those golden nuggets of truth to come through. Behind every challenge is a lesson; and behind every lesson is a blessing. Let us get the lessons so we can get the blessings!
