Prioritize You
Today, we receive the message that it is time to take care of ourselves and to not try to be all things to all people. This is particularly significant at this time due to the intensity of energies we are processing and integrating.
How was your experience with the full moon eclipse? These amplified energies continue to be active through the course of today and get a boost of fire from Aries and some potential agitation from Mars and Saturn.
In addition, it is a day where our inner critic may get louder and bossier. I read today a suggestion to write a list of things you’ve accomplished thus far this year and label it: “‘Note to My Inner Critic: Some Reasons Why You’re Wrong.’” This not only made me chuckle, but is excellent advice and I was reminded to share it with you when the Higher Self card appeared. (And, I invite you to join me in this exercise today.)
Our Higher Self does not judge us and does not want us to judge ourselves. Rather, our Higher Self surrounds us in unconditional love and is supporting and guiding us. But, can you hear your Higher Self? Or, are you too busy juggling, avoiding, distracting, doing, working, being confused, or something else?
Our Higher Self asks us to consider what we really need right now. What do we want or need to prioritize for ourselves? This is so often lost as we care for others. While we are still accountable for our responsibilities, our Higher Self invites us to become more self-aware and stop over caring for others, who are able to be responsible for themselves. We are also encouraged to engaged in self-care that will allow us to be centered and grounded.
Our Higher Self wishes us to know that it is okay to put ourselves first at this time, and, in fact, this will likely allow us to be more present and available to others as well. Furthermore, as we are endlessly presented with a stream of choices, putting ourselves first will assist us in figuring out what our next best steps are. This stream of choices will also be amplified in the coming months and learning to listen to our Higher Self will help us to receive guidance to make the best choices possible in alignment with our highest good.
Take the time today to breathe into your heart space and welcome your Higher Self to connect with you. Can you sense your Higher Self? Ask your Higher Self to come closer. Ask for the messages from your Higher Self to be clear and to come forward in a way that you may understand.
Also, take the time to consider what you need most at this time and give yourself permission to prioritize you and meet these needs.
Where in your life are you over caring for others? What purpose is this serving for you?
Finally, allow yourself to feel, sense, know, or imagine the unconditional love that your Higher Self has for you and allow this energy to support you throughout your day.
