Life Lessons From This Year’s Election
We’ve all been watching this hot mess of an American Government for 4 years now. I hope you felt the epic face smack I just gave myself...but be rest assured, the end is near and we all have something to learn from our traumatic experience (haha)! Trust that you can use all the negative AND positive energy around you right now for your benefit. Let’s explore exactly how:
#1 Grace To Know Your Place
Humility will literally take us all so far if we let it. Be humble when facing opposition and don’t be afraid to step into restful power while doing so. We won’t be mentioning any political figures in this article because this is about YOU! Humility produces strong focus on the individual and that is why I believe we all have to learn when to bow at some point.
#2 Karma Comes Back Around...and Around Again
It should go without saying that we are called to treat everyone equally with the common respect and courtesy that we each deserve. Unfortunately, not everyone out of the billion some-odd people on this planet feel the same way so protect your heart, mind & body against unwarranted attacks by first, setting the example. A time for retribution WILL come, especially for those who have been particularly cruel and unmoving-but remember, you & your peace are the main focus.
#3 One Being’s Trash Is Another’s Treasure
Don’t stand in the way of someone else’s good fortune! If its expired, throw it out! These are all fancy put ways of saying try following your purpose without selfish intention. If you don’t, you’ll just continue to sew chaos and confusion in a country that could do without it at such a vulnerable time.
(*Ahem*) I’m not saying any names because this is about US...we, the people! Let’s face it, if 2020 were a movie, it would indeed be an Oscar award-winning horror film. With all the residual traumatic energy surrounding us, how can we possibly rebuild? I have some subtle solutions that I think will definitely help:
Unplug
Turn everything off. I mean any and everything that requires energy from you from electronics, to people traffic and even your own individual noise. Meditate, shop...whatever it takes to reconnect you with your peace of mind. Don’t entertain conversations that drain you be it political or otherwise.
Marshay
Replenish I’m sorry to say that we can’t stay unplugged for too long so prepare your energy to be out and around others & their chaos. Don’t confuse that with being unprotected or exposed. Always remember that you control your space and how you utilize your inner power.
Conserve Don’t you just feel lighter already?! Deep breathing is a great way to reconnect mind with body so inhale and exhale like you mean it, with intention. Make deliberate decisions about your next moves but don’t obsess or put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Reduce the output of energy and increase the conservation of it instead....your future self will thank you!
Sleep! You’d be surprised what a good night’s sleep can add to your hustling psyche. Drink plenty of water of course and monitor all of your basic needs. Times are definitely tough right now and we should all be working together to make sure no one is going without. Please reach out to your local offices if you find that you are...even a friend or family member. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
Lastly, take selfish & tender care of yourselves and please, please, please, please...GET OUT AND VOTE!!! Always & Eternally Yours, Marshay Dominique
