Your future self is SO proud of you.
Your future self is so grateful to you for all the ways you keep showing up to create a better future for her.
Your future self is ESPECIALLY grateful that you are working through the MUCK of it all. Your own doubts and fears on top of the existential dread of living in the world at this time - this is a lot to work through and your future self is SO grateful for this effort.
This was the message I got one day this week in my practice.
It was during the Meeting Your Miracle mediation in Project Miracle, my miracle is an intense energy to work with and the meditation was so weird.
I held up my hands while they were on my lap. I called the miracle in, and the miracle showed up as me - but I could tell it was a future version of me. A full size me, the same size as me, sitting on my lap, facing me, so my upheld hands were holding my buttocks and I was like “Ummmmm I don’t know, this feels weird”
And this is why I often say “It’s ok if it’s weird or uncomfortable or you don’t understand what is happening, stay with it” in my meditations… because with this work, the stuff that feels so weird in the beginning usually has a really good thing to teach or show us.
So I reminded myself of this, it’s weird and that’s ok, and got curious about why my miracle showed up in this way.
My future self kissed my cheek and hugged me and I felt, in my whole body, her gratitude. “You stuck it out, mucking through the muck, showing up, practicing, exploring, experimenting, sitting with, creating, healing…. and I get to have all of the benefits of all of that. I can’t tell you how grateful I am.”
That sensation flooded my body and changed how I see everything.
Which reminds me of another thing I say a lot, every month on our New Moon Intention Setting Calls - as you are reflecting on your process, is there anything that needs a reframe? Like, if you feel like “I have been struggling with this for so long” could you reframe it to something like “I am so brave to keep showing up to work on this really hard thing”
And that’s what I felt in the meditation. A full body re-frame.
I’m not struggling too much, I’m not moving too slow, it’s not true that I should have figured this all out already (things my inner critic says)…. I am working through such hard stuff and doing a commendable job of showing up through the mess.
One thing about creative dreaming in a dystopia - we need to be easier on ourselves, and less focused on outcomes and deadlines, and practice TRUST.
The SPEED at which you are making things happen is not relevant - it’s the DIRECTION you’re moving in that matters. Keep showing up.
