JUST THE WAY IT IS...

It's just the way it is, is just a lie many are telling themselves. It's just the way it is, there's nothing I can do, is a way out of taking responsibility for your own wellbeing, your own life. Ok, yes there are some cases where things are just the way they are (out of our control, loss of loved ones etc) but it's how you choose to show up to it, how you choose to acknowledge & accept it, how you choose to move through it that makes the difference. You can tell by the words people speak if they are taking responsibility or simply just throwing their hands in the air thinking they have no choice of their own. Too many are waking up to go to jobs they hate, walking into it with an energy that repels and wonder why the environment, the people aren't like it used to be. Too many are waking up next to someone who they can barely smile at or greet one another in the morning. Again the energy says it all and each day they go their separate ways. Too many are continuing to stack more and more things they say they need to get done in a day, in a week...gaining the badge of honor for getting through it yet again, yet feeling so unfulfilled, so drained. Too many just keep going, hoping one day some magic thing will create the change for them. It's just the way it is and one day I'll.......(you finish the sentence) Sickness is what can be the change for many...let's change it before it comes to that. Too many think they have no choice, you think this, because it's what you've been shown to believe, you see it all around you. Most places you look, majority of others are doing just as you are. What you feel is what will be reflected back at you. When you do come across someone who seems to be doing things different to you, to others...you look, you keep looking, part of you doesn't want to turn away, you may start to wonder many things. Some take hold of what they saw and run with it, many look then turn away and say 'It's not for me...I couldn't do what they're doing' I'm here to tell you - YES YOU CAN! You have a choice just like them. Everything about you, you have a choice on. In your own amazing way. And the first thing you need to do, is create some time & space - just for you. Take a break, just you with a pen & paper. Somewhere that feels good to you. Spend as much time as you possibly can to sit with yourself. (A whole day, a weekend, a week, two weeks - do what you can) Pause the rest of the world for that moment, let nothing else matter but you. Ask yourself these questions: WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT'S NOT WORKING FOR YOU + WHAT IS WORKING FOR YOU? Then take just one step towards what you want. The first step will always be the hardest. It will be uncomfortable, wobbly, it could even come out sounding weird. When we continue to show up in the energy of 'It's just how it is' this isn't only effecting you, but the world around you and remembering your world starts at home! Love Always Char x
