A Way of Being - (the creation of)
In a previous article I wrote about a way of being, the ways of great athletes, the greatest of all time. Humans who have created a way of being by identifying what they wanted to accomplish in life and simply walked that path. They did not allow others' opinions, judgments or decisions to get in the way. I wrote about the fact that each one of us has the ability to identify this way of being for ourselves so we can live, create, shape our life no different than how the greatest athletes in the world have done. You don't need to run, jump, throw, or hit better than anyone else. All you have to do is recognize that inside of you, is an energy, a passion, a desire, a drive, and as long as you don't cover it up or deny it, as long as you create a relationship with it, then you can live a life you have always dreamed of. One that is filled with satisfaction and fulfillment of Self.
Now, you can go for all the material things that you want in life. You won’t have any argument from me on that one. This is simply an article about a way of being so that whatever you decide to be, do, or have, you won’t allow things to get in your way. There will always be challenges along the path, but you will quickly realize, those challenges only showed up to help you along your way.
For most of you as you read this article, you will want a NEW way of being. New, because you will recognize that through this process of identifying your current way of being, there are things you no longer want to continue holding on to in life, things you no longer want to be doing. This could be anything from relationships with family, friends, lovers, to a current job, home, or even the city you are currently living in.
To do all this, it is wise to first know where you are, so you can then know where you want to be. It is my wanting to share with you how this new way of being can get you there.
This is a very interesting world we live in. Things happening all around us, some of great beauty, others of great atrocities. It is quite difficult to really know what part we all play in the consciousness that makes up this world. When we simplify it and take it down to our own world that we live in, our community bubble, we can quickly see and have a deeper understanding of what our personal world is made of.
I have great resonance with three things in this lifetime:
I am a vibrational being.
I am living in a Universe based on attraction.
My emotions offer me the guidance I want or need to navigate my life.
Why does this matter in regards to creating a way of being?
As I said before, knowing where you are is greatly beneficial to knowing where you want to be. Having a basis of how you are in relationship with this Universe can offer great clarity and understanding in navigating your life.
Knowing you are a vibrational being is important because it means you are made up of energy, which then means you have a frequency, a wavelength, and this frequency, which resides within, is then projected out to the Universe.
This is an attraction based Universe. Simply put, we are all vibration, attracted to each other, like magnets. We are actually all being organized by the fact we are energy projecting a vibration out to the world that is then matched up with the likeness or essence of our own energy. Like attracts like.
Then comes our emotions. To be able to know what vibration you are projecting out into the Universe at any point in time, all you have to do is check in with how you feel. Your emotions interpret for you, communicate with you, how you are thinking and feeling when inside of this body on planet earth.
There is a lot more to this, but let's not get too far off the point of this article.
The gist here is how we feel matters, because how we feel is letting us know how we are vibrating, and how we vibrate is largely due to how we create.
In regards to the awareness factor in identifying your current way of being and then creating a new way of being, this really matters when we start with wanting to know where we are in life. This awareness will allow us to be more deliberate about our path ahead.
It matters greatly to be honest with yourself and accept how you feel. This can be tricky, because usually when you ask someone to accept how they feel, and some of those feelings are hatred or pain or shame or guilt, we can start to immediately judge ourselves for feeling that way. When we begin to judge ourselves, it stops us from being able to truly accept how we feel.
I am asking you to do something very powerful right now, but not that easy. If you can identify how you feel about yourself, inside of your life, and not judge yourself for it, that gives you an ability to actually make the change from your current way of being. We can then start the work to get on with living a life we truly want to be.
What’s next?
Let’s list words that describe who you are in life, how you show up each and every day. You can start like this:
My current way of being in life is filled with love, kindness, sharing, organization, focus, awareness, feeling alive, thriving, excitement, eagerness, passion, joy…
On and on you could go. Now, if the list above was true, I'd assume you wouldn't be reading this article on my website right now, looking for an emotional awareness coach. Let's get real about our current way of being. I’ll be the example. I will share with you my current way of being up to this point in my life:
In love with life and sometimes in like with life. Appreciative of where I am and excited with where I'm headed. More open than ever before with room to grow. More confident than ever before with room to grow. Discovering more and more about my worthiness and deservedness while here on earth. Lonely at times. Scared at times. Doubtful at times. Discovering how to have honest and open communication. Discovering how to be who I am becoming.
You can see there are some truly magnificent things I am weaving into my life. I also have 47 years of habits that I am unwinding and even though I know this information quite well and have integrated it amazingly well up to this point, I still recognize I have work to do. I want to do that work because that is absolutely part of MY journey while here on earth.
There you have it, my current way of being. I know why I am where I am in life, and I am discovering more and more how to appreciate/accept all those parts. It is through this appreciation/acceptance that I can then do the work to allow for my natural growth as a human being while on this planet.
Now what?
We have identified my way of being and now I want an upgrade. A way of being that fits me now. One that fits with what I am becoming. One that allows me to be who I want to be, so I can continue becoming more and more with each day that passes. This part is the easy part, the fun part, the dreaming part, the cover me up in a blanket of love, part.
What do I want my way of being to be now? What am I now stepping into? You saw my list from before, what is it transforming into now?
My new way of being is:
To share my knowledge with who I want, how I want, when I want. To create and express, from love. To treat doubt or worry or fear as a trusted friend who loves to keep me on my toes, moving forward. To know and accept with love where I am and eagerly awaiting where I am headed. To trust fully and to open completely to all the love that exists inside of this world. To acknowledge I am not my emotions, they are energy to be felt, moved, integrated, released.
Here comes the challenge. Can you now live your way of being? Can you be or become your way of being? Can you allow yourself, give yourself, the grace to fumble all along the way, always knowing who you are and where you are headed? Can you turn the feelings inside that this new way of being has produced and turn them into real life action? Can you simply go be?
For most of us, the issue is never the identification of or the creation of a way of being. It is usually about whether we can then go practice and be. I am hoping this article gives you a little more hope, optimism, and then belief in following your true way of being!
