I was on the struggle bus this week, juggling my emotions and thoughts of frustration as I continue to work on my DMP.
I’m intentionally working on keeping positive thoughts and pushing out negativity but boy is it exhausting! I was feeling like I was the only one in class that was not finished and I was putting so much pressure on myself.
Monday, I got up from my desk and headed out to the porch to clear my head and try to get some renewed motivation to stay the course. Overhead, a majestic eagle was circling around in the sky above.
I took that as a sign from the universe that I needed to rise to a higher perspective and go beyond whatever limiting old beliefs I was hanging onto. The cement of the past is still pretty thick and influencing my thoughts and actions. But I’m determined to embrace a new perspective to get me where I need to go.
Seeing the eagle reminded me that I need to reveal my true self and be seen for who I truly am. No more hiding in the shadows. I’m learning to love myself for the unique person I am and delighting in the unique gifts and talents I must share with others.
Reading the poem on my mirror each night and ending with telling myself “I love you” has been seeping into my soul and healing me. I am so grateful for what I am learning and struggling to implement. Nothing worth doing is without struggle but I look forward to the process getting easier as I incorporate more of what I am learning into good habits.
Donna, your reflection is both vulnerable and inspiring. It’s so powerful that you recognized the eagle as a reminder to rise above old limitations and embrace your true self!!! The work you’re doing to shift your perspective and nurture self-love is transformative… even if it feels challenging at times. Trust in the process… you’re uncovering your unique gifts, and the habits you’re building now will carry you to even greater heights.
Donna way to open up about your struggles! You have stuck with the exercises and their working. Keep it up and keep growing.
