7:10 GAINING CONTRAST
Contrast is the defining and separating of things we DO like, versus things we DON'T.
It's seeing the options and choosing which ones we prefer.
It's weighing the differences and discovering that we either do know what we want...
....or have no clue.
And when we have no clue... we spend more time gathering up more information until we do know.
Some of us settle for 'good enough', maybe because we are impatient.
Or we have a deadline, and something needs done asap.
Some of us just don't care enough to delegate the attention or time to figuring it out.
These scenarios often lead us into the world of 'drifting' if we consistently give over our rights to choose, or avoid them altogether.
Others begin to make choices for us, (perhaps their own impatience).
We delegate important things to others, (perhaps we don't trust ourselves).
We settle for things that are okay, but we aren't really happy with/about, (perhaps they are 'good enough').
And sometimes we are in 'rest mode' and it's just something we are not going to pick up, (which is making a choice!).
Here's the thing though...
We can make choices, avoid choices, delegate choices, CREATE choices, or just throw it all in the bucket and light a match.
BUT in order to effectively do that, we have to know what we want.
We have to know what we are throwing into that bucket.
We have to know where we want to go, who we want to be, how we want to feel...
and if it's none of this shit...
throw it all in the bucket and set it ablaze.
We don't have to carry the worries we've been carrying if we decide not to.
We can choose to participate in things that bring us joy ON PURPOSE, and it's not even our birthday, just a sleepy Wednesday.
We don't have to put on our happy face and deal with assholes like we are some droned out robot.
We can be ourselves fully, without explanation.
We don't ever need to believe we are destined to struggle or that it will always be you versus ____.
We can rewrite how it's gonna be for us....and we can live that proof when we just choose it day after day.
*****
Contrast gives us precisely the light and shadows of everything we engage with.
When we look at the light....
We see things that strike our fancies, we see doorways that lift our spirits, we discover ideas that call to us, or we engage with people who bring opportunities our way.
BUT if you are only concerned how dark that shadow is....
You see things that are dumb or wasteful. Doorways that are too hard to open or reach. Ideas that sound stupid or expensive. People who are snobs and won't save the world with their gobs of money.
Knock this shit off.
You are not any of the things you see, you are the one witnessing them.
So choose a fucking side and live it.
Or create a new paradigm and start owning it.
We get to have both (ALL), because everything is BOTH (ALL)!
AND we get to experience the energetic parts, that we are aligning with.
SO ALIGN with what you DO want/desire/like/love/enjoy/choose.
_______________________________________
If you could take your perception of money and erase it completely...
What would you rewrite it with? How would you make it better for you?
Affirmations can go a long way if you take the time. Practicing correcting shit mindsets can shift your whole focus. Taking new actions that actually support your goals can do wonders too.
But you have to care enough to make changes.
Many often care enough to worry about it....there's absolutely no reason you can't start moving your perception onto the light side, instead of the shadow side.
If you want, you can have both light and shadow...I like both sides truthfully... but if you are hating on the parts you don't like, then you've lost perception, lost focus, lost clarity, and all that contrast is just sitting there while you ignore tf out of it.
Contrast is a GIFT.
Contrast is a TOOL.
Contrast is a powerful WEAPON, when you learn to wield it.
Contrast is our friend and is like the boat repair man.
It fixes leaks, removes dead weight, reminds you of your purpose, defines the path, etc.
and then often is the rudder man too...
You're the captain... and you have to trust your crew.
__________________________________________________
LEAKS --
Where are you losing time/energy/money?
Define these places.
Make corrections and repair these places immediately.
What can you change to make them not wasteful?
Focus on how you want to feel when they are handled.
BLOCKAGES - DEAD WEIGHT --
What is in your way?
What is holding you back or slowing you down?
Define these things.
Make corrections and get down to business in making these things easy or gone.
Focus on how you want to feel when they are handled.
CLARITY --
Affirm your intentions and desires.
Write them out, scream them out, vision board them out - Make those fuckers REAL!
Define these things.
CHOOSE right fucking now that you get to have whateverthefuck you want.
Be an asshole about it. If you can't trust yourself to be in your own corner, no one else will.
Captains make the decisions. Stop letting the swabbie whine about not getting his fucking doughnut.
GET TO WORK ON YOURSELF.
GET TO WORK ON YOUR MONEY MINDSET.
THEN TAKE ACTIONS THAT ALIGN WITH THOSE NEW DECISIONS.
That's the homework.

8:10 DELEGATING
Delegating is about you and your crew.
Even the captain needs to take a break, needs to rest and recuperate, to stare off into the distance.
And is allowed to be their self.....while their crew handles the rest.
Delegating is the handing over of things and jobs and tasks and issues that the we either are unable to take on ourselves, that we aren't even good at and someone else is, or that costs us more energy that we feel in alignment to give.
It's the handing over of control and trusting others to fill the gaps.
It could be simply someone taking out the trash, or washing dishes.
It could be someone else handling the bills.
It could be them watching your toddler for a few hours so you can clean house or go shopping.
It could be so many things and scenarios.
You know where you are not the strongest and could use some extra support.
So find that support.
It could be for only a weekend.
It could be once a month.
It could be for all year...
but when we are falling behind somewhere because we aren't able to keep up, or despise whatever that task is... we get to ask for help.
WE GET TO ASK FOR HELP.
Some of us are alone on our journey's, but that doesn't keep you from calling a service, or asking a neighbor if they know anyone willing to clean your house, or asking a family friend to help you organize your financials.
ASKING goes a long way!
You might want to ask Bob the accountant to do you bills, but he's probably going to want paid.
However, even your 15 year old niece who's great with math can arrange you a system to help you get started, even if it costs you $20 at Starbucks or a trip to the Cat Cafe for an hour. (Bribery works too)
If you are a gung ho DIY-er, set time aside to dive into the work. Allow for mess ups. Allow for time to learn and gain footing.
----(((1000%.... I would suggest creating your own path in how you manage finances. Focus on what feels best for you!)))
----Dave Ramsey works for some people, Robert Kiyosaki works for others, Suze Orman is a fav of many. Lots of people swear by the snowball method (it was a death wish for us, but it might work for you). Some focus on debt, some focus on building wealth or assets, some focus on savings or clinging to money...whatever feels in alignment for you is what is best for now, you get to change it up as you learn and grow to realign again and again.
______________________________________________________
Where can you use extra support?
What areas would you enjoy help with/on?
What connections do you have that you can ask through?
How would it feel to receive some support or even more clarity?
How do you want to feel by being open to receiving support?
How can you help others?
What areas are your strongest allies that you can offer or exchange with others?
Do you trust yourself to learn and be all in?
Can you trust others to assist you?
Where can you allow more trust?
Meditate and visualize...
What feelings/emotions/energies are heavy and dampering with you?
Where can you expand and relax to allow those energies to move?
What can we let go of, and what is able to receive help?
Visualize how it would feel to be supported.
How would it feel to relinquish those tasks or issues onto someone who is a master at them?
Focus on that feeling of release, of freedom, of ease, of trust....
Affirm that those feelings are allowed, and you choose them.
Say them out loud. Write them out. FEEL them thoroughly through and through!
Practice this every day!!! This is the honing and setting of the signal, the channel you want to experience..... if you keep flipping through and never settling on one energy, it will be all over the place and so will you and your energy and your world.
HONE - FOCUS - CHOOSE - FEEL - TRUST
Give away that which is too heavy to carry, you DO NOT have to do it ALL...
But you certainly get to HAVE it ALL!
That includes the ease, the joy, the eagerness, the abundance, the fun.... <3
