Energy Report April 12–18, 2022: This Week, We're Leaning Into The "Gray Areas"

When we expect life to deliver us solely roses and candy, of course we'll be mad when it doesn't—and we fight it. But when we understand this is a natural part of life and greet all the feelings with acceptance, we open ourselves up to be in the present, hear our intuition, and learn lessons we otherwise cut ourselves off from when we resist.

So why am I saying all of this? As I tuned into the energy this week, it felt like when you're out on a walk and an intense wind comes, disturbing your balance. The disturbance in this case seems like an energy of old patterns of low self-worth or invalidation that no longer serve you. This energy is offering you an opportunity (glass half full, y'all!) to bid sayonara to those patterns.

This will look different for everyone. It could be feeling left out or a work experience where you feel devalued, or it could just be a sense of not feeling good enough.

Just in case you need a reminder: You are always worthy. There is nothing anyone can say or do that would make that untrue. When we have an experience that triggers feelings of low self-worth, all that it means is you have a part of you (your inner child) that has feelings of low self-worth. 

When I asked my guides the best way to handle this energy, they showed me diving under it, kind of like when a plane hits turbulence and the pilot has to go over or under to find a clear path. And in this case, the "diving under" is a releasing of the old patterns, and affirming your expansive, true nature.

I'll give you an exercise below to help with that, but you can also breathe into your heart and remind yourself of all of the things you value about yourself. You can make a list, too, so when you are stuck in your wounded inner child, your inner parent can come online and remind you of its presence. 

You can also celebrate who you are. Enjoy your life and have fun! As cheesy as it sounds, dance in your kitchen because it makes you happy. The best way to remember who you are is to let what you love to do come to the surface, and then do it.

Another way to release those old patterns is by building up a tolerance for the gray area when you aren't quite feeling connected to the truth of who you are, but you're also aware that when Julie didn't invite you to the party, it doesn't mean you are worthless. If you grew up feeling like if you aren't a total success then you're a total failure, it can make living in that in-between stage more uncomfortable and make you want to pivot to one extreme or the other.
