It's Time to Surrender

Last month, I was experiencing many low moments and many times of self-doubt. I was questioning my worth, my ability to help people, whether I was doing enough, and if I was good enough...and the list goes on. Once you get into that low place, it can be difficult to get yourself out.

But since then, things have really improved,

I surrendered.

I surrendered to the universe. I put my faith and trust into something bigger than myself. I had been trying to control the outcome of my experiences and forgot about this thing called surrender.

I struggle with surrender. The universe always has to do something dramatic in order to get my attention. Because ya know, I'm stubborn. Sorry.

Fear can be a terrible emotion. But that's all it is, an emotion. I was allowing myself to get lost in fear and be controlled by fear, instead of living through love. I had to remind myself to choose love everyday because love always wins. Once I acknowledged why I was experiencing what I was, I was able to change my life by changing my mind.

When I'm resisting the natural flow and rhythm of life is when I begin to doubt myself. It's when I begin to feel like I'm not good enough or experienced enough or if I'm worthy. I resist the natural flow because I'm trying to control the outcome. I'm trying to control what is happening in my life. So when that thing that I'm trying to force doesn't happen, I get upset and it creates all of this self-doubt.

Sometimes, I forget to embrace where I am and accept that this is exactly where I'm supposed to be, right now, in this moment. I forget to be thankful for what I do have. I forget to appreciate how far I have come. I forget that I'm on a different and sometimes, a more difficult journey than others. I forget to surrender to the plans of the universe. Instead, I try to micro-manage every little detail of this beautiful life.

Surrender can be difficult. Giving away your power to the universe can be scary. Although at the same time, you never really lose your power - you gain even more. To be able to surrender is so powerful...and it makes you feel a whole lot better. Less stress. Less brain that won't turn off. The ability to relax and remain centred. The ability to trust that everything is happening exactly as it's supposed to. No matter what happens, you know deep down that everything is going to be ok.

In my business and in my life, I try to practice surrender everyday. But sometimes I forget and last month was mostly me forgetting. The universe had to get me back on track and remind me to surrender and remind me of my power. The universe put me in such a low place and gave me certain people and experiences that I had to find my way out. It's a continuous practice and I'm always learning. I have to remind myself that the right people will come to me and the people that I can help will find me.

This past month has been all about surrender and trusting the natural flow of life and I'm feeling great! I'm exactly where I need to be and I will get where I'm going at exactly the right time.

Spring is a time of new beginnings and new ideas. This next month, I'm going to follow the divine guidance that I receive and follow the things that light me up. Without judgment or control or fear or trying to make sense of it with my logical mind. I'm going to put my trust into something bigger than me and I hope you will join me.

Let's surrender together. Let's live through love instead of fear. Let's trust in the timing of our lives. Let's trust in the people and situations we encounter. Let's flow with the natural rhythm of life. Let's follow what lights us up.

Because the universe has your back.
