Happy '21!

The year that likely rocked us all to the core, what was probably the most challenging and chaotic of our lifetime is OVAHH!! Yes, Lawd! It is a done deal and we greet 2021 with joy and expectation!!

The change in year doesn't mean that what was consumed, created or canceled in 2020 simply goes away or leaves us... it doesn't quite work that way! Yet, a new year does do something for our mental and emotional conditions. Some call it an illusion but I call it a shift in energy and accepting the need for a "reset". Accepting it! Allowing it and choosing to do more of what illuminates the highest parts of your being.

Acceptance this year is very important to me... and I'll share with you why! Acceptance is the doorway to the release of so much stress, anxiety and confusion because it allows the mind to just be!

What was put on my heart this morning about Acceptance is this;

With Acceptance there is no use nor place for anxiety as anxiety is simply the heightened and over-exaggerated fear of loss; loss of things that are ultimately uncontrollable. Like people. Like the future. So when you release control and ACCEPT.... anxiety too is released. There can be no anxiety when you accept.

Accept the things and people that we cannot change. Accept who we are, what we can and cannot accommodate or adjust. Accept what we have.

Accept. Accept. Accept Child. & Breathe!

Simply have the courage to go with the flow. Do your work, YES... but always stay in flow not force, fight, fear or flight!

Acceptance is also aligned with grace. When we accept, we grace people to be who they are (not who we imagined or would like them to be, and y'all trust, I have a few people that I would love to "re-construct", like Dr. Miami, okay! lol...I digress) But when we Accept, we realize that another's issues and responses to us is NOT always about us! People will try to leave their energy and story wherever they go. So before you take on their story, ACCEPT and realize that it is their own.

We have the choice to Accept this, then pivot by creating the environment that we need to emotionally, mentally and physically be well and healthy without taking on that energy or their belief system.... And guess what, that belief system can also include their belief or choice opinion about us, ultimately that too is a reflection of what is going on inside of them anyways. It can be their reminders of past events, people, traumas or even current positive influences. But once again, truly not about you. Their belief is a sum of their experiences, needs and desires.

When you Accept this, you realize that it isn't right, wrong or indifferent, it just IS. See how much of a burden is released when we realize this? Woooo SAHHH.

All we have to do is just Accept and take responsibility for where we need to be emotionally to get what we need from this life!? Man, I feel empowered!!! Do you?

But hold on sweetie, you aren't off the hook, WE must just as diligently make certain that we aren't dumping our 'ish all over the place on everyone and in every circumstance too, then calling the discord or "it".... THEM!

(Un Unh, did she just say that?)

Yes, I did and if it stung....Good. It should have!

A sting comes with awareness and healing, which also elevates us to a higher level of living and being, isn't that our truest goal?

So as we journey together through '21, I hope that you find more Acceptance in your heart and watch it transform your life, relationships and well-being!

Thank you for sharing your precious time with me.

Have fun with it family!

Love,

Candace
