I have been full steam ahead with my goals and it’s been wonderful. I feel like I’m on the right path and I feel like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to be doing, except there are times when I feel stuck and the divine asks me to slow down. I’m not naturally a slowdown kind of person, but I have been trying to find comfort in slowing down and connecting to the earth and myself with this new phase of my life.
In the past, I have looked at slowing down in any capacity as a distraction. I logically understand that enjoying life isn’t a distraction but sometimes it’s hard to let go of this idea when you’ve been struggling for a long time.
This past weekend I was invited to go camping with one of my best friends and I decided to look at it as part of my path instead of a distraction from my path. I dove deep down into my spiritual connection and asked for divine guidance and peace of mind while on my trip, plus I used this opportunity to do a few productive things.
During my trip, the divine connected to me/led me to things I had been looking for. I followed my guides when they asked me to visit specific locations or to do specific things. From this I found myself finishing a novel I had been trying to make time for, I found a beautiful location to take pictures, I found a bookstore that was out of someone’s incredibly small shed in the woods and there were two books I had been looking for at other big second-hand bookstores that I was never able to find until then. At one point I asked my guides for a hag stone and they told me to go to a random beach I had never visited before about 2 hours away which ended up being a beach full of hag stones. I was rewarded with these victories because I chose connection. I chose to connect to myself. I chose to connect to the earth. I chose to connect to my guides.
Sometimes the path forward might seem like a distraction but it isn’t. Sometimes you need that thing you think is a distraction to find peace of mind. Lately, I’ve been continuously learning the path is to deeply connect to self and the divine, this isn’t a distraction but it is a way to heal and to move forward.
