Making peace with where you are
Making peace with where you are isn’t just about being satisfied and appreciative of what you already have (although that is an amazing thing to feel), it is also essential if you want to create and attract more of what you desire into your life.
Even when everything hasn’t gone to plan, you feel like you are going off track or you just don’t feel like you are achieving everything that you want to achieve, making peace with where you are is one of the most effective ways to make a shift towards where you want to be.
… but as wonderful as it sounds, so many of us can still feel like we are swimming against the tide and resisting that state of inner peace that really has the power to make all the difference – but why is this?
Because we fear being stuck…
The main reason that many of us are afraid to ‘make peace with where we are’ right now is because we are fearful that we will simply just get more of the same that we are experiencing right now – almost like the ‘making peace’ part will get us stuck where we ‘don’t’ want to be with no movement forward.
However, nothing could be further from the truth…
Making peace with where you are can be an amazing catalyst for change – simply because it puts you into a total ‘state of allowing’ by removing all resistance in your ‘now’…. the only moment that you ever have any choice or control over.
It took me some time to get this myself to be honest – I always used to think that by making peace with where I was, meant I would just be stuck where I was forever more, when in reality, it’s the being frustrated, panicked, stressed and unhappy with where we are that keeps us totally stuck.
That continuous sense of ‘not liking where we are’ just keeps our vibration aligned to attracting more of what we don’t want to be stuck with if that makes sense?
So apply it to everything…
Making peace with where we are can start to change everything for us, and very quickly. As the resistance to trying to control every little thing through negative emotions drops away, so do all the barriers that keep us from moving towards what we really want.
Does this mean that life will be perfect – absolutely not! Life is supposed to ebb and flow and we are supposed to enjoy contrast in many things, otherwise we would never realise what we want over what we don’t….. but making peace with where you are is going to get you far more of what you do want!
Always remember – the changes that we want will not come to us through a sense of panic, anxiety, frustration or stress, it will just keep everything we want at arms length, whereas making peace with where we are will have the opposite effect. It will just draw more of what we want into our current reality.
So how do you do this when your reality seems very far from what you really want? There is one simple, effective way that will make all the difference and that is:
Appreciation…
Through appreciation of what you have right now in any / all areas of your life that feel good. Even appreciation for those areas of your life that don’t feel like they are going so well by finding any part of them to appreciate, maybe for the lessons they have taught you or just appreciating that although not perfect, that everything is moving in the right direction.
So how do we do this? Through conscious purposeful thought that moves us in the right direction, even if it is just for 10-15 minutes each day. This can be achieved through journalling, positive guided visualisations, subliminal tracks, positive videos / audios – anything that will remove that resistance and get us into a better feeling place where we can appreciate just how far we have come and make way for more of the good stuff to flow into us.
… and finally – here is a great rampage of appreciation from Abraham-Hicks to show you how you can make peace with where you are and to remind you just how good your ‘now’ can be if you can let go of resistance and let that peace and appreciation in.
Enjoy!
