Shedding

Supposedly the body regenerates itself every couple of years, however, the only way for this “shedding” to occur is to keep a positive mindset and shed the people who no longer serve you. This is a hard process because you have to stop believing in your old habits and create ones to make you happier, to make you more freeing. To be free is to be in bliss. Our thoughts stop this process quite frequently. Am I shedding a layer right now, and I am having a hard time letting go? Yes. I have had many emotions this past few weeks, and most of them are self-doubt, why? Because I am questioning if I am making the right decisions.

I don’t want to only work for a corporation to tell me what to do. I want to make a difference; I want to create. And this is the hard part because when we create, the doubt follows. Creativity feels judgy. As children, we are always drawing pictures, playing with our imagination, feeling free. The reason we cannot feel judged by others is because we haven’t learned that behavior. When does this behavior occur? The one person who tells us we can’t and most often it is ourselves. We create self-doubt because we all of sudden care what other people think, or we are finally listening to our negative selves.

If we rid of someone or something, we put our defense shield up because we know it is the right thing because of the initial relief. But then the doubt creeps back in. If you have initial relief, a weight off of your shoulders, why can’t this be the clear indication you made the right decision? Why do we go back to the core memories or the hopefulness that people or situations will change? We want to see the good in people, we want to be hopeful THAT THEY CAN CHANGE. If people are angry about your personal growth towards happiness or positivity, shed them. They should be proud of you. Why the shape of my circle is always changing. I get to choose who is in it and who is out. It fluctuates, just like your feelings or your thoughts.

You are going to have bad days, they come for a reason. They are not meant to stay around for a season or a lifetime. They are meant to be felt and released. Just like when you meet someone new. You met them because of the energy you were giving off. People who match your energy, you attract. We are magnets. The Earth is essentially a magnetic field. When someone does not meet that energy, you want to go the opposite direction. Always trust your intuition. You have more serotonin in your gut than you do your brain. Why everyone says to trust your gut instinct.

Shed the skin you need to, in order to become a better, you. You may have a lot of emotions that are vomited out. You may just need to get them out. Give it time, but not too long because then you are going to question it. Get plenty of rest and sleep. Shedding is hard work, but worth the wait or weight. Either way you want to look at it.
