Grounding - Boundaries

Nov 28, 2009 19:04

I keep trying to devise ways to make more money. I keep forgetting it's not about the money. I told Kyle during lunch today perhaps I should go back to school. He smiled and said "No." I squealed.."WHY not?" He said I knew very well why not. And I do. A "regular" career is not for me. I guess in my head I just keep thinking about what I can do in the meantime. And I am already doing something in the meantime. I have a job. So in reality why look for something else in the meantime? Well...because I want more money than I have now. I'm still under the delusion that money makes everything better.
It doesn't.
I think I'm meant to read spiritually for others. To truly use my Empathic ability to help others. I have spent a lot of my time focusing on how to cultivate that. But what I have been lacking is that...in order to get there, I first need to be stable. To be grounded. My Guides have already said to focus on the important things. They wouldn't tell me what was important. Of course not, that would be far to easy. And really what would be the point. I know I have written this in other entries before. But today this is what I feel is the important things to focus on.

Grounding.
Learning how to ground myself. To have my feet planted and stable. It's important for any reader to be grounded. Granted we are human and not without our faults, if I look at readers who I view as role models they are very grounded and solid in their lives. Two prime examples: Jodi Livon and Slyvia Browne. Without grounding I am merely floating around and cannot focus. How can I help others if I don't have my own two feet on the ground?

Boundaries.
Creating strong, clear boundaries. While it's often necessary for me to feel another's negativity or feel them for a reading, it is not necessary for me to hold onto those things. Creating good boundaries I believe will help me absorb the bad, but able to release it and bring in the good.

Patience.
Is my number one thing. I lack it. At least in terms of things I want to happen. I always want them to happen RIGHT NOW, I can't wait. It drives me crazy. And the stupid thing is it's going to happen when it happens. I keep getting plenty of these lessons.

So we sign the contract for our little yellow, rented house on Monday. We will have limited cash flow. I know I need to take the time to enjoy my space, my husband and my pets. Without a huge cash flow (except the cash that is needed to supply our needs) I will have MORE than enough time to focus on that.
Among other things.

Things I'm thinking are important to focus on when moving out.

1. I will strive for a quiet, simplified life. This means, cutting out unnecessary things, de-cluttering and having only that which is necessary and things/people I truly love in my life. With this attitude I cannot follow the lifestyle of some of my friends and family members. But how freeing!

2. I will save a decent sized emergency fund in our savings account.

3. I will work on getting us out of debt.

4. I will find that career choice not only for myself, but I pray that my husband will find it as well. I believe that both these things will be achieved when we truly recognize our soul's purpose. The two walk hand in hand.

5. I will learn how to ground myself and set boundaries. To do so will grant me the ability to open up as a reader for others, while keeping myself clean and clear. With clarity comes greatness and the ability to serve my soul's higher purpose, which I believe is to help other's heal. Once I achieve this I believe I will truly be able to develop my abilities to their full potential.

6. I will get back to my clean-eating diet and regular exercise routine. I will also incorporate yoga into my lifestyle, as what little I have done of it thus far has benefited me greatly!

It's not so hard is it? I just have to keep re-reading these entries, they'll bring me back to my focus. And more importantly stick with it.
