“All is Well.”
I haven’t written a blog post in a while and I woke up so inspired today that I reverted back to writing. I have titled this blog post, “All is Well” as this has been the one mantra that has been getting me through those days where I feel like I’m just going through the shit…I’m positive most of you know exactly what kind of days I’m talking about!
I have been going through a shift. A shift of being extremely busy and being immersed in things that do not quite serve me. I have been starting to feel drained, mentally exhausted, and a little irritable…needless to say. I have been pouring from my own cup to be there for everyone & everything else around me and I’m finding that I’m not filling up my own cup, leaving me on empty 90% of the time. Again, I’m sure some of you may know EXACTLY how that feels and what I mean by that. I found that I have been at a point where I’m putting my work and other people’s feelings above my own and have noticed the damper this has put in my self love and energy into things that actually fuel me and my purpose. It’s not a good feeling. Pouring energy into places that do not serve you from an empty cup is mentally and physically unhealthy and I have come to finally realizing my next step…. that I need to put more love and energy into my own cup FIRST.
With that being said, I have shifted. I have come to a point in my life where it’s time to start filling up my cup and allowing myself to receive the energy I know I deserve, I know we ALL deserve. Life is so hectic sometimes, always on the go, everyone wants it NOW NOW NOW, and you get caught up in this endless loop and next thing you know weeks go by and you wonder why you’re so god damn drained all the time…..It’s because you need to do things for yourself first to ALLOW yourself to do things for others.
While going through this shift, I started to say to myself (sometimes out loud, in my head, or under my breath) the mantra, “All is Well”. This is something I learned from one of my favorite spiritual teachers and authors, Gabrielle Bernstein. Gabby posted a blog post titled, All is Well: An Affirmation to Get Into the Stream of Well-Being and reading through this was absolutely eye opening to me. She goes onto explain how there is always only one stream of being, the question poses whether you’re allowing or resisting it. This well-being is streaming through you regardless…it is always there. Are you resisting it or are you allowing it… what is your alignment?
Recently, my alignment has been resisting. There has been too many other outside sources that have hindered me from really asking myself this question. Until, I came to the point where I now know, its time to shift and start taking back my energy so that I may flow WITH the stream of well-being and allow it to flow freely rather than resisting it and causing friction and disconnect. As I entertained this idea, I’ve been allowing myself to let go just a little bit more every single day. Everyday I wake up, I say to myself, “All is Well”. & with that…this sort of became my mantra.
“When you get into the stream of well-being, you know that all is well” – Gabby Bernstein.
When we start to make changes for ourselves, create joy for who we are, and allow the universe to show us things we’re meant for….you are in the stream of well-being. & Man does it feel good! You just know when things start to shift in your favor, opportunities arise, and all of the sudden you feel like 20 lbs has been lifted off your chest…you are aligned. Thankfully, I started to make just the tiniest efforts towards my goals with my current situation and just with the slightest effort, I was able to see so much potential for my future. It’s that forward movement…that forward way of thinking that allows you to see through the shit that much more clearer! I’m able to really live like All is Well. I feel more connected to myself now than I have ever felt before. Now, I’m allowing the universe to show me the way to fill my own cup and receive all I’m meant to. My time and energy is beginning to slowly detach itself from the energy I give for other things & leaving more time and energy for me to utilize towards what I WANT in my life. Allowing me to receive the time to add more things to my plate that will actually serve me rather than hinder my growth. You start to feel this way because you start to connect with who you truly are. Almost everything because like a revelation and its just so beautiful and empowering to experience yourself blossoming from this perspective.
Start allowing yourself to start filling up your cup FIRST. I know its hard and most of us put our needs on the back burner and next thing we know we wake up 2,3, 4 years later in the same spot because we couldn’t make the effort to allow ourselves to be better. Remember that all is well. No matter what happens to you in this present moment or in the future, remember that all is well. You are being guided and your intuition will show you the way you need to go. It will guide you to start forward thinking and will support your shift towards forward movement which in turn, will give you the clarity to move through this life with a little more ease and feeling…well.
