Hi my loves,
Happy Lunar New Year! We've entered the Year of the Horse.
Yeah, I don't really understand it either, but there's one nugget of wisdom I'll adopt from it:
The ego mind wants us to rush, achieve and have everything right now—only to want something else the moment we succeed 🤯
Apart from the ego's wishes, I wanted to talk today about one big sign that your manifestation, nervous system expansion and emotional regulation journey is progressing.
I could give you a list of signs it's working, like your body relaxing more, your mind calming down, wanting to sleep and rest more, or feeling the relief as if a heavy weight has been lifted off your chest.
But all these are giving "the ego checklist" to me, so I won't focus on them.
Mostly because this work is often not seen immediately, but in the days or even weeks to come.
The only sign I want you to look out for is this:
- You're no longer scared of feeling your emotions.
- You're no longer feeling resistance towards "the negative".
- You feel supported from within.
- Self-trust starts to form.
Maybe you've been frightened to feel because you thought it meant you were giving in to the negative. Or perhaps you thought you’d open a box of feelings you weren't ready to face.
But you are ready.
And if they come up, it's because if they didn't, something much more devastating would happen.
At some point, you start to see that your feelings are just temporary experiences.
You start to see them as nature unfolding. You let go of control and surrender.
And that's how these things actually dissolve the fastest—when you accept rather than resist.
Have you experienced that? This is what you should be working towards.
There's no higher priority. It's where you find your freedom.
Pop me a reply if you want to share something with me or ask a question about this process; I'm always happy to hear your thoughts.
In the meantime—be brave and Happy New Year. I hope you can feel the internal shift of energy. This will be your year, my friend.
