What to do with your incredibly uncomfortable, confusing, painful life circumstance?
*Stay with it
Are you in a challenging curriculum?
A physical challenge that persists?
Debt that overwhelms you?
Career uncertainty?
Relationship insecurity?
The annihilation of self that is parenthood?
Whatever challenging circumstance is in front of you- you’re safe to stay in your learning. It’s true! Sounds a bit sadistic, I know. It’s actually highly sacred!
“How exactly is this crappy-feeling circumstance sacred, Julie?”
Because this curriculum was/is divinely designed. By who, pray tell? By YOU! By your Higher Self.
Yeah, we can’t see all the wonderful good that this is on the other side (yet). We can’t imagine the feeling of the bigger, more authentic self that this experience is growing us into (yet). All we see is the chaos and uncertainty. All we feel is the challenge and struggle, perhaps the fear or depression.
But growth is happening! In fact, it’s the kind of growth you asked for, perhaps even prayed for. It’s the growth that will enable you to line up with all that you are seeking to experience in this life! We just forget that growth happens through contrast.
What do we humans typically do during these times? Do we celebrate the amazing growth experience in front of us? Heck no (don’t worry, me neither 😆)!
We judge ourselves as wrong, as failing, as fucking up.
We push ourselves to get out of it.
We judge our circumstance as a sign of something off or wrong.
We blame others for not loving us enough, or not seeing us enough (when the truth is that it’s a beautiful reflection, pointing to where we get to LOVE and SEE ourselves more fully!)
WHERE YOU ARE IS HOLY! You are standing on holy ground! Yes, the snotty, messy, fearful, depressed, confused place upon which you stand is downright SACRED!
Earth School is for the OLYMPIANS.
It is the school of contrast and duality. We learn… you guessed it… through contrast.
I want to share with you two client examples.
*I have a client who’s been in a painful relationship for a year, and shames herself for not having the guts to leave. Guess what, though? She’s growing ENORMOUSLY through this contrast. She’s learning about her attachment insecurities, she’s taking bold steps to own her feelings and needs as worthy of being heard and held, she’s moving away from blaming herself. When she has soaked in all the learning & healing that is here for her, I know she’ll have all she needs to move on.
*Another example- this client went from millions of views, to thousands of views on social media. Shadow banned? Perhaps. Divinely appointed curriculum in which she is aligning even more powerfully with her message and her reason for sharing it? Absolutely! After experiencing ridiculously huge expansion and flow, she is now learning through contrast. And it is holy and sacred and ON TIME WITH PURPOSE. And we can KNOW this because it is creating MORE authentic expression, more authentic alignment in her life. EVEN THOUGH it’s challenging as crap. Especially because it’s challenging as crap!
And we can know this too for YOUR divinely designed now moment of learning.
Instead of judging yourself or others, get curious.
What is this asking me to let go of?
What is this asking me to become?
How is this creating more authenticity within me?
What is this growing within me?
And I have good news for you… the moment you have received the learning that is available to you through your curriculum…. you will be moved on. You won’t have to push a bolder uphill, the door will open. You will feel the breeze, you will know the way. I’m not saying the way will be a cake walk, but you will feel and see the open door to move ahead.
MORE GOOD NEWS! I did a Quickee Prayer for you, to anchor this truth in your body. You can find that here.
