Feeling Lost in a Shifting World?
Build your sanctuary inside...
When the world is in flux it can be easy to be swept away with the tide of uncertainty, chaos and despair. Yet your power does not lie in being swayed by the world around you. It’s time to reclaim your light, your sovereignty and your inner peace amidst the storm.
Rising Above Fear
If we were to believe all the hype and fear-mongering being thrown our way these days, we should all be living in constant fear and anxiety for the future. It’s not always easy to cultivate inner peace and resilience in the midst of all the noise. Yet I am here to tell you that it can be done.
You deserve to live in a state of peace with hope for the future. We all do. So let’s reclaim our power and cultivate our inner lighthouse!
Outside In
From a young age we are conditioned to live from the outside in. We are told, indirectly or otherwise, that the world around us is more important than the world within us. Yet is this so?
Living from the outside in is the old way. When we live this way we allow what is happening around us to dictate and control our reactions, responses and our inner world. Our inner state is governed by the external. This way of living is a losing game.
We can never control the world around us. The only thing we have any agency over is ourselves, our responses and how we govern our inner state. The more we can master ourselves, the freer we will become.
Inside Out
There is a different way of being. It takes practice, it may not always be easy or straightforward, but it can be done. This is the way of self-mastery. Living from the inside out. What does this mean in practice?
It means that you get to decide who you are going to be, regardless of outside circumstances. You get to be the light in the darkness, the stillness in the chaos, the joy in the gloom. You can be the quiet, steady presence of peace regardless of what happens around you. That gift is available to all of us.
If everything around you seems dark, look again, you may be the light.
- Rumi
Maybe this time is the perfect opportunity for you to master this skill? After all, it’s easy to feel good, when everything seems rosy or at least relatively stable on the outside. The real test is when turbulence hits. Can you hold your inner state? Can you master your inner being?
You might not be fully there yet, and that’s okay. It’s part of being human. But you now have the opportunity to cultivate stillness and peace within yourself more than ever.
A Collective Shift
How will that shift play out in the world? The more you move toward living from the inside out, the more your peace and resilience will ripple out into the world around you. You don’t just become more peaceful and graceful - you contribute that energy to everyone around you.
That’s truly something.
You are so much more powerful and resilient than you think. Focus on choosing peace whenever you feel pulled away by the storms of the world. Remember who you are. You are not meant to live in fear. You were meant to be a beam of light. Not just for yourself but for everyone around you. And in those moments when you feel overwhelmed by the external, remember what’s real and permanent. Your beautiful essence.
Don’t let anyone or anything move you away from the truth of your being. What is that truth? You are peace and light. Hold on tight to that as much as you can and keep shining.
It makes much more of a difference than you know. ✨
Another brilliant piece 💯 ✨🙏
I think so many of us were given a painful lesson in the spring of 2020, of the separating, the darkness of overwhelming fear taking control of our inner beings. The lesson of that wounding is the return to the only trustworthy source of peace that can be found within. Once again, a beautiful, poignant, and timely post, Hege. Peace and blessings. Thank you.
