WHAT'S THE LESSON?
ARE YOU LIVING AT CAUSE OR EFFECT?
In this weeks Topic I go deep into the concept of living at Cause or Effect and life lessons. I invite you to become self-aware and take responsibility for the meaning you are giving each moment that challenges you!
YOU ARE WHOLE, COMPLETE AND BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED.
Your life experiences have created an imprint upon your actions, reactions and inner diallage. This is the reason you find yourself here in this time and space. In this energy frequency. Your internal representation (The way you perceive your life, based on your sensory intake, followed by the way your values and identity internalize it) creates your internal and external reality.
LETS DROP INTO THE TRUTH! ARE YOU LIVING YOUR LIFE AT CAUSE OR EFFECT.
To live at Cause: “I am responsible for everything happening in my life. I choose the meaning I give to all moments”
To live at Effect: “Everything is happening to me. I have no control over my life or my reactions”
Are you creating your life or are you allowing life to create you? I know for me when I first learned about living at cause or effect, it was a hard truth to face. I had been living at effect for years. I had allowed a few hard and emotional experiences to completely define and control my entire reality. It had consumed me. I allowed it to take over my health, my mental state, and the meaning I was giving my role in relationships.
*How are you showing up at cause or at effect?
*How is it effecting your well-being?
My mom once told me a quote and it was one of those moments that stuck with me. She said "Life is NOT about finding yourself, but about creating yourself" I have spent years working to embody this statement and until I connected to this concept of cause or effect I struggled to launch the self-creation process. Living at cause empowers you. Living at effect puts you in a downward spiral of helplessness, hopelessness and the need for external validations. If you could choose today to live one way or the other which would you choose?
HOW DO I GO FROM LIVING AT EFFECT TO LIVING AT CAUSE?
One of our greatest gifts and my favorite tool for change is "self-awareness without self-judgement." If you are looking to change your life you must drop self-judgement completely. It stands between you today and your highest expression of tomorrow. Becoming self-aware and self-accountable will change your life immediately. Start to take inventory of your thoughts, your reactions and all moments you find yourself putting the cause outside yourself.
Once you take accountability, which looks like: apologizing to those you are reactive towards, intentionally changing your inner and outer dialogue, changing your vocal tone within your responses, reflecting your role in all relationships. This is when you will begin to shift from effect to cause. This is when you begin to take back your power. Naturally after some practice you will begin to view your life through the lens of cause.
WHAT'S THE LESSON?
Have you ever wondered why it feels like you experience the same type of drama or unfortunate connections with people? Ever wonder, why you feel like you get out of one situation, just to find yourself in the same similar situations? Same arguments, same battles, same frustrations, same, same, same.
Lets break it down.
Each situation is an invitation to "take a learning" and evolve into a new challenge. Allowing your self to grow, learn and expand your potential. How or why do we get stuck on the loop of the same battle, different day? As a society we stopped taking the learning and started carrying the story + emotions instead. Did you know that all we need to do is take a moment of reflect and intentionally be aware of the information life is giving you to release the baggage. If you are living in a way, that compounds the emotional charge and loops the internal story, you will continue the cycle of karma until the lesson is received. Surprisingly, we are not meant to carry the heavy load of our past, but rather continue each moment in the refreshing and liberating present moment. Take the lesson and move forward with the embodied knowledge
*What caused you to become emotional or reactive today?
*What meaning did you give the situation?
*What is the lesson you received from it?
*How do you want to feel instead?
If you are following along on my journey I want to take a moment and thank you for your support! I can feel the love and encouragement to step in to my purpose. If you are on your own healing or growth journey I want to thank you for your strength, courage and desire to ascend your frequency with me!
May today bring you many blessings and may self-awareness be your intention for this practice of taking the lesson and not the weight.

*Journal Prompts for deeper self reflection*
I highly suggest to reflect "as if" you are talking to a friend. We can become very negative and hurtful when speaking to ourselves sometimes. This process is 100% about self-love, respect and a tender transformation. Remembering that change takes time and you are right where you are meant to be, give yourself grace!
