Spirituality – My Companion.

In preparation for the new year I’ve been working through some of the Desire Map exercises. I did Danielle LaPorte’s Desire Map at the beginning of 2013, you can read my thoughts here and here. I love this woman and what she offers. Love it.

So like I said, in preparation for 2014 I’ve started the process of getting clear on how I want to feel.

In one of the exercises you are asked to jot down your relationship with your spirituality and why you’re grateful for it and without even needing to think about it, the following thought popped into my head ‘my spirituality is my companion’. 

This year has without a doubt been one of the most challenging from a ‘connection’ perspective. In getting used to a larger number of clients each week it saw my social life take a dive. Friday and Saturday nights were literally spent recovering. I had very little energy to give – anyone. And it was hard. It hurt. It made me sad.

But as with everything, there is always a silver lining and my silver lining was that I learnt to be ok with the sadness, to not judge it and to not judge myself. I allowed myself to experience the disconnect. And then naturally the disconnect shifted and I started to reconnect with the world.

What got me through those times of sadness was my spirituality. I made the choice to trust and have faith and connect with forces that I knew would help me heal. And I did this through gratitudes, meditation, mother nature, chats with the universe and heart opening exercises. These things became my companions.

Anyway, that’s all I had to say about it. It was a really nice realisation. Filled me with warmth and fullness and gratitude.
