Oh the drama we humans love to create for ourselves. Often we wonder why we’re not creating a life we love. If we put half of that energy into our own creative imagination, I’d say we’d be manifesting miracles all over the place.
We are powerful creators, creating our realities through our thoughts, words, feelings, beliefs, and actions, and as we know, where the focus goes, the energy grows. So if there’s something that’s not quite working for you, you might want to ask yourself where IS the focus?
Being present, fully immersed in the moment, with our full attention captivated by what we are doing, is something we don’t generally do or appreciate. Just from personal experience, I find my mind starts to wander easily when I am doing mundane tasks.
This is by no means abnormal, we all do it, and it takes practice to become aware of when it’s happening. Again, the mind is flipping through the past and projecting into the future, completely bypassing the present moment.
Have you ever had a great idea, got all excited about it, then talked yourself out of it almost immediately? It’s too hard. I’m too old. Kitten mittens will never be a thing.
What’s happening here is that you’re projecting your fears into the future based on your past history of life experience and the way you perceive the world.
The way to harness your creative power is to do what you can, with what you have, right now, where you’re at.
If you’re all in with the kitten mittens — you know in your heart it’s what you’re called to do in life, the pull is so strong that you can’t continue to deny it, and you make the decision to say yes — then the next steps will appear for you.
Creating Step By Step
Finding your way to the first step though, is usually up to you. However, the universe will provide a plethora of signs, and you will know what to do (blind faith), but you have to be willing to work on what’s right in front of you.
Sometimes we forget that we can only go one step at a time.
Taking control of consciously creating your life requires you to slow down and be present with the action at hand. Focusing your energy on the step in front of you allows you to experience it fully, gaining all the necessary wisdom and skills to get to the next step.
Deciding to make this journey offers many layers of leveling up. It’s like a video game where you have to collect better tools to defeat the boss at the end so you can move on to the next world.
That’s how this life seems to operate — you can’t move on until there are some lessons learned, upgraded skills, and awareness gained that is absolutely necessary to get you to where you want to go.
What is one small action you could take today?
We are being asked to enjoy the process and allow ourselves to focus on what’s in front of us right now. Stop trying to be farther along than you are, and give yourself over to the present moment. Trust that what you are doing is exactly what you need to do. Be creative solving problems and give yourself permission to try something new.
