Going through life step by step
When you go through challenges, people who care about you ask how you are doing. My answer will be that I do it one day and one step at a time. This sounds much easier than actually sticking to it because everything that used to be normal isn't now. Like now, while trying to write this topic, my normal routine of typing with two hands has turned into a huge challenge.
It forces me into a higher state of focus and awareness. Because I couldn't use my right hand, my brain had to do another shift to gain momentum in my left hand. It's not just my brain that has to adapt, it's about adapting my whole being. Every aspect of my being is alert and affected. This causes problems that need to be addressed. So, what about taking it one step at a time?
The desire to write is complicated by a lack of speed in typing, with more errors than usual, and a left hand recovering from surgery searching for balance. So I came to the realization that everything we need to change, no matter what, is one step at a time. Whether material or emotional, physical or spiritual, every moment is about taking it one step at a time.
Including our behavior, our mental patterns, and our belief system. There is no choice in the matter, doing two things at once. It will always be one thing at a time. I think there is an organism that can also multitask, multidimensionally. Yet that is not how I perceive my reality in this material world.
Of course, we can do many things that make it seem like we're multitasking, capable of taking more than one step at a time. It is not for nothing that we advise others or ourselves to take it step by step.
Usually, we use it in situations that need more attention to become aware. Or if we want to make something and go too fast, how about installing things without following the plan or schedule? Even our own bodies have to follow a certain plan in order for them to function. To find balance, we also need healing when it comes to any kind of wound, physical or emotional, mental or spiritual.
Because everything is related. Therein lies the need to get on the same page. When it comes to healing, there is also a kind of step-by-step plan. You cannot remove an emotional disorder without looking at the cause. Whatever has been inflicted that has caused an imbalance affects all areas. So we can only define step by step what it is that needs to be cured first.
Cause and effect. Sometimes it goes back through our ancestors and ancient lineages. Certain patterns find their way from generation to generation. Healing also means becoming aware and learning, because we can learn to become aware of our own internal patterns. But this requires an act of determination and a willingness to look deeper within.
That is the first step, to realizing that everything is connected. Every emotion we have has a cause, or root, that needs to be discovered. This is not always deeply rooted, but sometimes it is like the peeling layers. Knowing something doesn't automatically mean you're ready to act on it.
Usually, there is resistance to delve deeper. Mainly because we tend to avoid pain on every level. Only if the wound is a constant factor and needs your attention, the choice of how to deal with it is ours. It takes step by step to decide what to do, which way to go, or where to go.
This time I can't avoid the pain and take a closer look, caused by the operation. It brings so many challenges into every layer and area of my being. Physical pain is one of my triggers that also makes me feel vulnerable as I lose my independence. It is also a tool for what it brings to the surface.
Using this insight allows me to look deeper into what is going on. In my case, literally, with the surgery on my left hand this summer and now my right hand. Then I realized something. My dominant hand is my right hand and the left hand is my male energy line, which is highly developed by being proactive and analytical.
My left hand is the feminine energy line, which stands for being receptive, open, and nurturing. For me, it has always been easier to give than to receive. So what happened internally, the need to balance both, is a lesson to be learned. I am already aware of it and have taken many steps in my life to go through challenges and experiences.
What I also learned is that my life challenges are always triggered by pain. It's my way of taking it one step at a time, breaking the plank as it were. The cracks reveal new insights that I can tackle if I want to. It's my wake-up call, so to speak, to take it to the next level.
This time it's all about tuning. Not just my 2 hands again, but also what they represent to me on different levels. The most challenging process is using emotions as stepping stones to new awareness.
To do this, I can only take it as it comes. Don't force it, because that will only create more resistance. No control over what is to come, having a false sense of being on top of it. This will only block the flow of energy.
Don't be passive-aggressive or proactive in wanting to get through the process as quickly as possible. This literally means step by step in this present moment. Both my body and my emotions are my teachers, to learn and grow in their own time.
Enjoying the peaceful moments and allowing the issues to be addressed to bring healing. On all levels, step by step.
And so it will happen.
