Logic v Intuition

“You playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that others won’t feel uncomfortable around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.” ~ Marianne Williamson

Logic v Intuition

I remember a time when as a young woman controlling and manipulating situations was my way of life. I would pursue some situations with a predetermined outcome and then work to make it happen. At the time, I did not understand that by allowing things to unfold on their own, I would live more expansively. I was forever plotting three moves in advance in life, controlling and plotting for outcomes in my favor. I said I believed in God’s power, yet I acted as if I did not trust my Source.

Personal Story

When my daughter was in fourth grade, I bought a house intending for her to go to ‘the best high school to set her up for attending a great university. Houses in that neighborhood would hardly ever come up for sale, and when they did, there were bidding wars. I came across information about a home that was going to list. Knowing that the homes there was a hot commodity, I sent a letter to the owners and made an offer well above the market price without even seeing the inside of the house. We loved our home and lived there for five years. When it was time for her to attend high school, the mortgage crisis in the US occurred. I lost my job and ability to find equally lucrative employment. Eventually, I had to make the decision to short sell the house instead of default on the mortgage. My best-laid plans went sideways. We moved to a beautiful home in a neighborhood where the high school was not ‘the best. Since I was living into an intention, my daughter received a great high school experience, excelled in academics, sports, and leadership, and then attended UC Santa Barbara (a great university). Turns out, I did not need the house, or neighborhood to get what I wanted.

Lesson Learned

All my plotting and planning led to the financial loss of the equity. It caused me stress-causing leading to hair loss and sleepless nights. I lost confidence in myself because of the decisions I made. Moving in and out of the home caused instability, and heartache to my kids. Even after carefully planning, I lost control of my life over the circumstance, this was a valuable lesson for me. All the planning in the world, will not make your dreams into reality. Yes, the intended results occurred regardless of where we lived. Up until then, control was a big part of my life. And it was something I wanted to change, so began an experiment to work with the Spiritual Laws of the Universe. I was in my green-growing edge of discovering how to live more expansively.

Manifested the love of my life

After being divorced for more than eight years, I longed to share my life with a partner. One day when I was journaling and feeling the discontent of being a single mom, I wrote the qualities that I wanted in a husband. I had a picture in my mind of a man that would be supportive, faith-driven, family-oriented, loving, and so many more qualities. I started dating without forcing or plotting, or planning, and intentionally went about adopting qualities that I wanted in my mate. When you match the vibration of what you want, you attract the thing that you want says the Law of Attraction. And voila! A year later, my now-husband (the love of my life) walked into my life. It was easy, it was fun, it was life-giving. It was an expansive way to receive what I wanted without drama and heartache. Living expansively is about feeling connected and aligned without manipulating or controlling. You let go and let God.

Living more aligned

Living aligned with your source is inspired via modalities like mediation, a walk-in nature, journaling, dancing, and others, you then listen, and take steps as you are nudged. It also means to live in Faith and Trust that there is a Source that wants the best for you. It takes rigor because we are constantly being pulled by our old habits, thoughts, and beliefs that were instilled in us since we were babies.

It works like a light switch, sometimes you are on, and other times you are off. The point is to live on, more than off to be in a flow of life that feels freeing, peace, and a knowing that everything will work out.

Because we are brought up planning, strategizing, controlling, our paradigms play in our heads to continue living using logic instead of trusting our intuition. Learning to live expansively is part of the journey of mastering our lives and way of connecting with God.

We are spiritual beings, living a human experience. As we endeavor to live our best life, we use both parts of ourselves to navigate life.

Invitation to Lifework . . .

 

By examining my results and noticing how different it feels to live expansively versus continuing to control and worry about getting at what I want, I decided to lean into the work of aligning with Spirit’s Laws. This has led to a shift in my life, my thinking, my attitudes, and overall results.

I invite you to do a self-examination of ways you may be planning, controlling, manipulating to receive the results you want in life.

Have you had similar experiences that despite planning, things did not pan out as you expected?

If so, what did you learn from your experience?

If not, regardless of the outcome, was it stressful to control and direct the situation?

Have you in the past or now hear your inner wisdom nudging you to do things differently?

Are you listening or ignoring it?

If you are not hearing from your small voice (intuition), would you like to?

Do you see the benefit of working with Spirit to live a more expansive life?

I know it can be scary to even entertain discovering the Spiritual part of you to help you navigate life. It means commitment, Faith, Trust, and Belief in your higher Source. It also means breaking away from the chains of the paradigms that keep you stuck in a way of being.

If you would like to learn more, call me. I’d love to help you discover how to live more expansively.
