A few weeks ago, I visited a very intuitive friend that was able to help me with some issues that had been bugging me for a while now. During this time, she received messages from her guides that I was to take a break from writing for 8 weeks. What?! Eight weeks of no writing?
"I have clients," I protested. I can't NOT write.
However, she assured me that the writing I was doing for my clients was different from my own writing projects, and this was what I needed a break from.
The reasoning was due to the coming changes for me. My energy is changing, which will show in the way I write, create, and how I express ideas. There will be a deepening of more love and respect for myself and for others, which will also be obvious in my creative projects.
If I continue to write without the break, it will be with the same old energy, and it will feel stuck.
That being said, I have been stuck on a writing project for years. Even though I can see the end result, the flow isn't there. I can see where I want it to go, but the progress doesn't come.
Even with this blog, I know what I want to say, but the articulation leaves me stranded.
That being said, I do have a healthy amount of skepticism, but I also have an open mind to consider the things she suggested.
The point I want to make, dear readers, is: Is there something that you need to de-clutter in your life? In your mind? In your heart? Is there something that you need to take a step back from to get some clarity? Unsettled relationships can produce a lot of cluttered thinking, and we continue to hammer the square peg into the round hole, trying to make it work; trying to make it fit. Take a step back. Meditate. Be more present. Busy yourself by getting rid of material items that no longer serve you. Spring clean your house, your mind, your heart, and your life.
Rumi said:
“Although the road is never ending
take a step and keep walking,
do not look fearfully into the distance.
On this path let the heart be your guide
for the body is hesitant and full of fear.”
Don't view this as the end, because there is no end. View this as a shedding of the old, revealing a new story.
Namaste.
