If today were a movie, it would be Groundhog Day for sure! If you haven’t seen it, Phil, the weatherman, relives the same day over and over, growing increasingly frustrated by his inability to change anything.
Lately, I appear to be in a similar cycle.
I say “appear” because frustration simply means I’m not in vibrational alignment with what I really want. Somewhere between life’s ups and downs and my own expectations, I’ve let inauthenticity and people-pleasing sneak in, compromising my highest self’s desire for the greater good of all.
And here’s the thing: I’m included in that “greater good of all.” It’s when I forget that little bit of detail that I put aside what I want, when I choose the safe path instead of the inspired one, when I try to keep the peace instead of speaking my truth, and when I try to control instead of surrender.
Interestingly, that’s exactly how Phil broke his cycle. By surrendering, he used the repetition as opportunities for self-improvement. He practiced kindness and compassion, over and over, seeing the blessings in the everyday people, situations, and things life handed him.
As I start to count my blessings, I feel the frustration dissipate. I begin to see life through different eyes.
And like Phil, I know I will wake up to a fresh new tomorrow, knowing the change starts within me.
