Sometimes we just need to soften and meet people and ourselves just where we are💜

Not force or rush or resist – just allow ourselves and other living beings to be. Even if thoughts like «… should have been different…» come visiting, let us gently aim at letting them go and really see what is, embrace what is.

Maybe we can open our hearts to see the beauty in stead of what «should be» different. Maybe we can rather see the beauty and light in the person, the animal, the overgrown garden, in stead of the mess, the undone, the weeds, the shit… Also if what is needs to change (clean up the mess, make a call, pick up the dirt, but oh, let the weeds be), we can allow ourselves to rest in a moment of accepting what is💜

Just for today let’s be curious and gently notice whether our thoughts and our kind of thinking make us happy – or rather gloomy…

What we think and how we perceive our thoughts affects our whole system; body, emotions, mind, spirit. What we think can change how we feel physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually.

Sometimes we are such firm believers of our thoughts. We tend to believe our thoughts more than we believe in «God» – God as in our chosen God, regardless if our preference of «God» is a person, an entity, the universe, a religion, atheism, money, a yoga teacher, a politician, a personal trainer, a certain book, a friend, a lover (or someone we wish were our lover), an athlete, a church, a car, a teacher, a dog, a lifestyle we desire, a career to pursue.

If what our «God» expresses is contradictory to our (stubborn) thoughts, beliefs – we tend to believe our thoughts more. So, our thoughts are powerful.

Often, many of us, are stuck in the strong belief that there are no other thoughts or ways of viewing the world, others, ourselves, our life circumstances available. Sometimes we are even so convinced of the truth of our thoughts that we’re not even aware they are thoughts or beliefs that in fact are changable.

We sometimes live in the illusion that our way is the only way. Which of course, I’ll admit, can be a pleasant and comforting, and ego-boosting, belief. «It’s my way, or no way». It gives a sense of reassurance, doesn’t it…

However I want to invite us, just for today, to be curious, to ever so gently see, notice what our thoughts make us think 😉 how they make us feel, act – and thus affect those around us, people, animals, even nature.

How does this particular thought affect me? Does it bring joy, peace, ease, love, lightness, laughter, courage, a feeling of connection or fear, worry, stress, sadness, feeling of rush, hurry, pain, unworthy, small, being in a trap or jail?

Let us just kindly observe. Let us be soft and gentle in our curiosity.

What happens if we ask: Is this thought really true? Or is it a mere perception, an assumption? A cloud passing by? Is it possible to see the same from a different perspective, change the view?

How does it affect this moment, our life, if we constantly believe our thoughts to be true, bare facts of (our) life? And what happens if we open our hearts and minds to question the thought?

So, let’s just for today, see what happens when we notice thoughts that bring gloom and doom into our hearts and bodies, if we the very moment we are aware of it, choose to open the the door to the rehearsal room – and see if we can try another thought that fits us better? A thought that is more present, more tuned into this moment, this day, here now. Let’s see what happens if we change the angle. Maybe what we are staring at in the mirror is an angel – not a beast? Or maybe we suddenly see the beauty in the beast?

May we, just for today, remember that we can choose not to be prisoners of our thoughts. May we remember that colourful, happy thoughts always are available to us, even though they might seem hidden behind the bars right now…

All the Best – Always

Sometimes we keep carrying the burdens of earlier days, or the presumed burdens of days to come, with us in the present moment. Sometimes we have loads to carry because we are unaware of all we keep carrying or we are aware, but not willing, or ready, to let go… And over time it might feel heavy… It might even manifest in our surroundings, on our bodies, in our minds. Clutter, volume or lack of it, monkey-mind/busy-mind🙉

So, what about letting this day be This Day – The Day – and finding the courage to let go of everything that doesn’t belong to This Day, all that doesn’t belong to this very Moment 💜✨🎈

Let us just for a moment, put our burdens down, let them be, let them take care of themselves for a while, let them take a break from being carried, and let ourselves take a break from carrying. Let ourselves rest and be free for a Moment.

If it is new to us, or challenging to us, or for other reasons not known to us, not possible for us to be in this state of being/letting go, all day long, maybe we can see if we just for now, can open ourselves to the present moment by sighing! A long sigh, letting the air, the breath, out of our bodies. Then pause for a moment, and let the body breathe in when it is ready💜

Just by doing this we connect with ourselves, the body, this moment. And if we feel like it, we can repeat two more times. Voila! Three breaths of presence – three breaths of letting go of everything that doesn’t belong to this very Moment✨✨✨

We are always free to enjoy the freedom of Presence💜❤️💜

Let us be kind to ourselves. Sometimes we really deserve to put the burden down, even leave it behind and let go 🎈

Often it seems like we «have to», «must», «ought to» do things – and almost as often it is just our mind playing games with us, convincing us that THIS is utterly important and needs to be done. By me. Now. Or preferably yesterday. But don’t let our minds fool us. We are free to choose what is important in our life, how we want to spend our days and our deeds

So if we long for a deep sigh and a long inhale and a moment of letting go of everything – let’s do it💜🎈✨🎈💜

Alt Godt,
FiloSofia ✨
