This is the mantra I got in this week’s Dream Book journaling + alchemy kit: I have the power to change
Use the meditation for the weekly mantras to dig in deeper to the mantra, or put your hands on your heart and take five deep slow breaths and repeat to yourself:
I have the power to change.
Notice where this lands in your body, what thoughts and feelings get sparked.
There is no right or wrong way to react. But your actual thoughts and feelings can tell you something about what you need right now.
This one really LANDS for me today.
First of all - there is no "I SHOULD change" or "I would be a better person if I changed this or that"
It just feels like having the POWER to CHOOSE change - in ways that feel good to me.
Life is always changing. We are alive. We do always have the power to change AND there are times when accessing that power feels like too much.
Right now I DO feel I have the power to change.
And it feels so helpful to remember that.
Oh! I can just CHANGE. I don't have to deal with this situation in the ways I always have, and get more of results I've always gotten. I can always change.
It feels magical and freeing.
ALSO, looking at sticky situations and dreams that feel stuck...
What changes when I look at it through the lens of "I have the power to change"?
This feels exciting to explore as my mantra this week.
If you want to work on this with me:
If I have the power to change feels good and encouraging, hold it with you today. Look at problems, questions, stucks and obstacles through this lens and see what ideas it brings.
If it brings up some discomfort - that’s your stuff to work on today. To do that work, in the creative dream incubator coaching membership we’ve got the un-sticking station and the library of inner work practices. If you’re not sure what practice to use, you can email me, or post in our forum, let me know what’s going on and I will make some suggestions for tools you can use.
