Getting Centered
What does getting centered & being centered mean to you?
I’ve learned over the years that finding your center and staying grounded has looked different for me through different stages of my life. When I first began to learn what it meant, I channeled my desire to be grounded through journaling. I was so bogged down with varying emotions and thoughts which was holding me back from being grounded. So I instinctively started journaling to release everything I was holding inside. It became my outlet and my voice felt at ease because I always had a hard time articulating what I was feeling through conversation. Journaling allowed me to observe my thoughts and understand what was truly going on within my head.
As time went on, I began to understand that journaling will always be my main way of staying grounded, but I picked up new skills along the way. I started listening to guided meditations. It allowed me to let go of the need to control my own thoughts, and it instilled trust in me that I am not my own thoughts. Guided meditations have shown me that it is okay to put our trust in other when we are feeling our most vulnerable. The more I welcomed these realizations and emotions with open arms, the less stressed and uptight I felt. I was just truly letting it go.
Guided meditations then led me to affirmations. I was able to understand the groundwork of letting go, then I began to understand what it means to plant the seeds of intention. As I found my center more rapidly, I also began to instill loving and positive intent on my thoughts, actions and emotions. Affirmations have allowed me to not only attract what I desire, but it has also taught me how crucial and important loving self talk is.
Taking the time to find your center and become grounded is not at all as difficult as we think it may be. It’s just about disconnecting from the limiting beliefs and distractions of what is occurring outside of us. It is about devoting delicate attention to what our heart and soul is trying to tell us. It is about intending to be true to ourselves and extending unconditional love to our journey. Let go of judgement, negativity and discouraging thoughts. They are there to create awareness, but don’t let them linger.
Here is to your opportunity to find your center today.
Love & Light,
