Life is changing for all of us whether we like it or not. Our political and financial systems, the weather, international relations, how we interact with each other, the workplace, our sources of energy, and other aspects of our lives and our environment are going through major alterations.
You have two choices — you can either stay in denial and continue to do whatever you’ve been doing or you can accept the fact that the world as you know it, on many levels, is going to look very different a few years from now and be open to the opportunities that times of change provide..
If you choose to continue to do what you’ve been doing, there is a chance that you’re going to see a drop in your income and a rise in your struggle level. On the other hand, if you’re willing to accept and adapt to the new reality, you can thrive and prosper in peace and joy.
In order to thrive, you will need to be flexible and develop new behavior patterns while letting go of limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in the past. You will also need to let go of emotional habits that allowe you to stay in fear, sorrow, anger, and resentment.
The new reality requires that each of us make conscious decisions as to how we will live our lives, and most importantly, how we will interact with each other. Our survival is at stake and we can no longer afford to focus on our self-centered needs. Understanding our connection to one another and our interdependence is essential in order for us to prosper.
No longer is the question, “How can I make more money?” Instead, the question needs to be, “How can we work together and share our natural resources (which includes our innate talents) in a way that supports the growth and survival of all of us?”
What can you do today to prepare for the new reality?
- Spend some time each day in quiet contemplation, getting in touch with your own inner voice.
- Instead of thinking about what you can sell other people, think about how you can serve them and how your service might turn into income. Focus on giving and sharing rather than on how much you can get.
- Let go of things that you don’t use. If you tend to hold on to things, examine the emotions behind your fear of letting go.
- Reach out to others in many different ways. Join groups offline and participate in social networking sites online. Make a concerted effort to meet new people each day. If you tend to isolate, examine your fears and learn new social skills so you can connect to others with ease.
- Pay attention to the news with an attitude of detachment. It helps to know what’s going on without getting emotional or taking world events personally.
These can be either troublesome or exciting times depending on how willing you are to accept the inevitability of change. Change can be, for you, either an incredible burden or a fantastic opportunity. Make it an opportunity!
I love your new direction, Joan. One thing you didn’t mention was that adjusting to higher vibrational energies can seem “weird” at times. Not only does our work keep changing, our physical body has to adapt, too, and this sometimes includes symptoms that feel like illness. I wrote a blog post about this called “Soldier On,” in which I said:
“Advancing into the higher realms, while at the same time accepting the physical, mental and emotional discomforts that seem to accompany these explorations, is what our soldiering on is all about.
Along the way, we receive visions of our new life, our new work. If we begin to act upon these visions, more is revealed. It may not look like anything we’ve done in the past but, amazingly enough – we have all the talents and skills needed for the job.
But to get there, we need to do the work in front of us to the very best of our abilities; to find ways to stay out of the doom and gloom whirlpool of mass consciousness; and to acknowledge and accept the discomforts that accompany any trail-blazing expedition.”
