Are you surviving the arctic blast and icy weather? Brrr – baby it’s cold outside! Of course, for February you’d think I’m going to talk about love, soulmates, etc, and of course, you’re correct, but with a different take on it. Today, I’m writing about our ability to adapt and change.
If you’ve been following me for a while then you understand that this crazy
Michigan cold weather is not something that I prefer. 50° would be my ideal winter if I had to have an option. So, you ask, “what on earth are you doing in Michigan?” Well, there’s this certain fellow that I happen to be married to that absolutely lives for ice-fishing in the winter. He says it’s his meditation time, his time to regroup and relax. Of course,
The reason for me discussing this, and the point I’m trying to make is, how do YOU adapt to situations that you find distasteful or uncomfortable or that you simply would rather avoid? For me and my distaste for the winter mess, is just to stay indoors as much as possible on the snowy/icy days. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE being outdoors, just not in nasty weather. I’m an introvert by nature so I don’t mind activities that are solo. Thankfully, I also work from my home and when there’s inclement weather I have the ability to reschedule clients to ensure their safety. I’m good for hunkering down and waiting out the weather. I don’t stress about it because I have a solution.
What solutions do you have for overcoming or avoiding what is distressing for you? Do you meditate, do you look the other way, how about just refusing to “go there” or not allowing yourself to become distracted or pulled into the negativity?
If you find a way to overcome what you find troublesome, or in the least a way to mentally get yourself past it, then you’ve created for yourself a workable solution. Congratulations! If you find you can’t avoid what you’re loathing, here’s the thing… What we absolutely hate, and what we absolutely love, CAN be remnants from past lives! WHAT?!?
Many, many years ago through meditation, I found that one of my past lives was in Nebraska 1869 (proven through names of who my husband and I were as well as years, what my husband did for a living, etc.). The average winter weather in Nebraska isn’t different than what we get in Michigan, but the summers don’t see temps reach much higher than 60 degrees! NO THANK YOU, I say! As a result, Michigan would seem to be a middle ground for me as a soul. We have
Therefore, if you find yourself dealing with what you DON’T love, there’s a lesson there – in the least. Look deeper, is the distaste you’re feeling due to the present life, or do you just not like something? I’m urging you to at least ponder the idea of what you’re finding troublesome to originate from years long ago. What you love can also come from a desirable past life. What draws you, makes you yearn, what are your passions, what type of person are you drawn to? Look at these tendencies as actual soul memories, because we often repeat patterns from past lives.
In conclusion, all things in our lives, whether people, places, events, tendencies, etc, could potentially have an origin from centuries ago. You are who you are as a result of your past whether it was hundreds (if not thousands) of years ago or just a moment ago. You’re creating your reality every second of every day. Yet, when encountering something you don’t enjoy, find your solution to overcoming that said thing, realizing that YOU’RE the creator of your reality. For your lives to come and for the rest of this life, Create positive.
