Whatcha celebrating?
The other night I went to Trader Joe’s. I was craving champagne, ice cream, and a backwoods, and I know trader has my favorite brand on hand for the joog. I wanted to just chill out, and enjoy my own company. As I was at the checkout stand the woman that was ringing me out asked me
"Celebrating anything tonight?”
I said, “Nooo, just was craving champagne tonight and felt like drinking.”
She said, “It feels like that type of night. The weather is chilly, it just feels like a night to relax and celebrate, celebrate yourself!”
I liked that she mentioned that. Because that is exactly what I am feeling. The sun moved into Scorpio yesterday and already I felt a huge shift within myself. Scorpio season activates my 8th House. In astrology the 8th House has to do with mystery, occult, sex, transformation, secrets, rebirth.
It is magnificent to feel the mindset start changing. Libra season was honestly challenging for me, I experienced many shifts in relationships and even came to the realization the I can find harmony in endings.
What that lady said got me thinking though -
How do I celebrate myself? How do I care for me? Am I caring for myself properly?
By care I mean physically, emotionally, spiritually. Am I eating the right foods to fuel my body? Am I consuming uplifting media / content that helps me grow? Am I exchanging energy with the right people? Am I praying? Do I feel in touch with myself, my spirit guides, God, and my ancestors? Does that align with what I am allowing in my space at this moment?
It got me thinking about how I show up for myself!
It got me thinking about celebrating myself. Totally.
I am thinking about the relationships that I have and how I can improve upon them, situations that I have kept going when I shouldn’t have, and people that I need to start double checking or thinking twice about and not spending so much of my time on. I am thinking about how I WANT TO BE FULFILLED IN MY LIFE.
I am thinking about how being a hermit is so much easier than having to discern so many energies and take the time to react to everyone. I see how I can get very comfortable being around a person or accepting situations for what they are and not expecting more out of them. I do not want to do that anymore.
How can I align with the things that I want? first thing first is GETTING CLEAR WITH WHAT I WANT - DO NOT ALLOW WHAT I DONT WANT TO EXIST IN MY REALITY - AND THAT JUST MEANS GETTING CLEAR WITH MYSELF!
Not allowing what we don’t want to exist in our reality is the hardest part, at least for myself. I am indecisive I am forgiving, I am a hot head, I hold grudges. I sometimes can’t let go until I am drowning. So it might be as simple as cutting off whatever evokes those emotions or responses in us or facing them, acknowledging them and releasing.
I am ranting at this point but I am also very open to exploring the idea that we control our reality. Bad stuff happens to people but when we are following our instincts and intuition it is definitely lessened.
I am still growing and learning. Being patient with myself is a hassle at times but I am worth it.
Hope you all take the time to celebrate yourselves! You are worth it. You are special. You deserve to be celebrated! Even when you think you have nothing to celebrate - celebrate you!
