Loving Me in a Rut

June 18th, 2010

My life is following a theme over this past week. It’s such an incredible synchronicity for me and I can clearly see that God is really saying something and I feel so grateful to be able to hear the message.

I’ve been in sort of a rut the past week. Just kind of slow and tired and uninspired and unmotivated. If you look at my posts for the week, you’ll see what I mean.

I decided, consciously, to allow the rut, and even embrace it. I did what I felt like doing and I didn’t beat myself up for it. I read my emails and visited my forums and groups and talked about inspiring things. Other than that and mindless facebook games, I sat in the sunshine and watched the boys swim, read a couple books, watched some tv, and managed to complete a short list of chores to maintain the household.

Here’s the theme that kept popping up for me all week. Just BE who you are. Just DO what comes naturally at any given moment. Just love because love is the only purpose.

It started with a short discussion on religion and the Bible in a forum I frequent. Later, when the discussion came to mind, it came with a song. A song I used to sing in Sunday School as a little girl and it was always one of my favorites. I hadn’t thought about it in probably 20 years, but suddenly there it was, playing in my mind.

This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine.

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine….

Then, days later, I was in a forum reading a discussion about ego and a sudden thought occurred to me. It was just a sudden inspiration and I must’ve posted it in 10 places after it hit me. I found it totally just…perfect, and I felt so thankful to have been given such an inspiration. It was:

Life’s not about OUTSHINING any other stars… it’s about adding YOUR twinkle to the brilliance.

All the while as I’m embracing the rut I’m in and having these really inspiring and wonderful things popping randomly into my head, I’m reading. Reading Mirror Therapy and now a new one, which I’ve not quite finished so I don’t want to officially gush about it yet. That doesn’t seem fair.

Mirror Therapy has made a huge difference for me, and so far I’m really liking this new one also. Here’s where I mention that I’ve read ONE book in print in about the past year or two. I read tons online and listen to audios, but it’s been a very long time since I’ve actually felt inspired to READ a book and I’m at 2 for the week..lol

So, I’m sitting pool side watching the boys swim and reading and I notice a butterfly. I have TONS of them in and out all day, but I always notice them because I REALLY love them. Well, as I acknowledge this creature, I suddenly (yep, again) hear a song in my head. It’s another Sunday School song, and again, one I’ve not thought about in 20 years.

If I were a butterfly
I’d thank you Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree
I’d thank you Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea
I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee
But I just thank you Father for making me, me

CHORUS
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me

If I were an elephant
I’d thank you Lord by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo
You know I’d hop right up to you
If I were an octopus
I’d thank you Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank you Father for making me, me

If I were a wiggly worm
I’d thank you Lord that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear
I’d thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile
I’d thank you Lord for my great smile
But I just thank you Father for
making me, me

So, I’m really seeing a theme around me at this point. And I’m taking notice, yunno? I want the Universe to know I’m aware and listening. I’m really getting into it. Being very present in each moment and purposefully doing whatever comes naturally at that time. I wouldn’t even call it a rut at this point.

This morning, I’m sitting on the end of my bed watching the rest of a program I was watching on the History Channel and when it ended, and the DVR turned off, it went to live television and I found myself RIGHT at the beginning of THIS song. I’ve never heard it before today. I don’t dislike Jewel, I’m just not real into her, so I don’t follow her and I RARELY listen to the radio so I don’t hear things there either.

Satisfied

So that’s my week in a rut.. or rather a nutshell. lol Today I’m taking these boys for a bike ride. I’m going to let my light shine, and love it all, and be grateful for who I am and where I am and I’m going to do whatever comes naturally to me at any given moment.

Embracing the Rut

June 16th, 2010

I have been having such a slow week. I’ve been tired and hot and just all around unmotivated and uninspired. The only things I’ve felt inspired to do are read, play mindless facebook games, and sit. For the most part, since about last Friday, that’s exactly what I’ve done.

There was a time that I would inevitably beat myself up for this. For feeling this way. For being lazy. For not doing better. For not BEING better.

That was a conditioned emotional response. If I feel down, I shouldn’t. Something is wrong with me.

I’ve learned recently that, we NEED down time. It doesn’t mean that something is wrong with you or wrong in general. It just means that you’re being presented with a circumstance in which you may practice allowing your feelings to be as they are. An opportunity to just Be.

And feeling unmotivated, for all I know, is the only way the Universe could slow me down long enough to show me something. Maybe feeling like a bump on a log is a scheduled rest stop along this path. There could be something there for me that I will miss if I’m resisting the down and kicking myself for how I feel.

Every circumstance and situation is an opportunity. I was never able to see the opportunity when I was endlessly talking in my mind about all the things I should be doing.

Instead of listing of should be’s, I have chosen instead to just go with the flow and allow the down time and do the things I feel inspired to do.

Because I felt inspired, I went to the library with the boys on Monday for the library’s official summer kick-off event which was on the lawn with water games and story time and the whole shabang. I watched the kids play and took pictures for half, and then I went in the library to roam around for the second half.

The book Mirror Therapy: A Spiritual Journey into Your Subconscious virtually jumped off the shelf at me along with a few others that also made the cut and have come home with me.

Mirror Therapy is a 223 page book that I read cover to cover in about 4 hours. I picked it up and devoured it.

I was trying to articulate the premise and picked up the book for an idea of what to say about it because there’s so much I’d like to say. The page I flipped to says it best so I’m going to copy it.

Mirror therapy enables the patient to detach himself from energetic dependence on other people and to connect to the root of his soul, to the spark of divine light inside him. ~Source: Mirror Therapy – pg 14

I think that is a fantastic summary and I completely agree with it. I only visualized minimally through the book. Only enough to stop and mentally capture what the author was saying for a moment before continuing on reading and STILL I can honestly say that this book had a rather profound effect on the way I am seeing myself.

Close your eyes and go into yourself until you find the mirror of your soul. What does it look like? Mine is beautiful, and it held all the answers I asked for.

I very highly recommend this book.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Since I’ve finished Mirror Therapy, I started two more books. So far, I’m really loving both of them so stay tuned for more recommendations. It’s been a while since I came across some really good self help-ish, law of attraction, conscious creation type books. I’m really enjoying them :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. Even if it’s slow and seemingly unproductive like mine has been so far. There is always purpose!

AWESOME Abe!

Hello friends :)

Day 2 of our awesome summer vacation here at casa Baugher. We’re off for a long bike ride this afternoon. Three cheers for sunshine! I always glean my greatest insights when clear headed and exercising my body in the sun light.

I just watched this video on youtube and I LOVED IT!! I LOVE when I come across new Abraham-Hicks videos I’ve not seen before. This one is fantastic. Low self esteem is a disease most people suffer from at one point or another in their lives, if not all through their lives.
