Yesterday was really cool.
I physically missed church but my soul went to church! (You’ll understand soon)
Yesterday I woke up and got ready to go do some food delivery for cash before church but it got busy and I never made it to church. I blasted my music and the next thing I knew, it had been hours! I sometimes feel guilty but yesterday felt more like church than church some days.
The first half of the day felt like a huge meditation retreat. I spent the first half of the day just jamming the f* out while I drove around. Jamming to the point where my brain was not on overdrive.
The second half was downloads.
I realized that not many people actually tip (dude.. wtf y’all.), which completely surprised me. I mean I knew I’d come across SOME people who didn’t tip even .50 cents but out of all the deliveries (6 hours) only 3 people tipped. THREE!!
Anyways, oddly enough one of the things I got to experience is gratitude for myself. I do things like tipping and I always try to tip well intentionally to help people and yesterday was the very first time I realized, that is not as common as I thought. I thought I was just tipping well, like most people, and it was common sense. Turns out, it’s not. It wasn’t about tooting my horn but about recognizing the little things I do that do help.
You see, lately, the biggest lesson I’ve been running into is treating myself how I would treat others. Looking at myself like I do others.
This is a life-long battle but it wasn’t until recently that I really noticed just how much I don’t treat myself like others. How I didn’t acknowledge WHO I am as a value, only what I can do and do for others. I valued myself ONLY by how active I was/am, how helpful, how caring, how much I can donate, etc. I valued myself solely by what I could offer others with my action.
Yesterday one of the major downloads I go was just to see myself as a soul. To value myself for WHO I am.
Yes, all I do adds up to who I am but I’m talking about more than that.
I am patient when it matters most, I am kind, I am resilient, I am brave when needed, I take leaps, I can be funny, etc. WHO I am.
I have written about this before but like I mentioned in prior blogs, we learn a lesson then level up and have to relearn or reveal on a different level.
It was something small but I was something very meaningful. It was a simple moment of gratitude to myself.
—
Today, try to find a moment to be grateful for yourself.
Not something you can do for another, not how well you do your job or how talented you are in something.
Just something about YOU. As a soul having a human experience: Are you naturally compassionate? kind? patient? Do you make yourself laugh? Are you wise? Resilient? Courageous?Tenacious? etc.
Then you can move into the things you do well. Are you book smart? Musically gifted? Well spoken? Etc.
I hope today you learn something beautiful about yourself and have a moment of “in love” with your incredible soul.
Sending you all so much LOVE! ❤
