Dear Friend,
Slipping into Old Patterns
Have you noticed how easy it is to slip into old patterns when you are not paying attention?
And have you noticed how brilliantly the default button works when you are not paying attention?
I have. And I have also noticed that until a new pattern is embodied, it sure helps to pay very close attention.
Others first, me last?
Well… I slipped into an old pattern recently when I was not paying attention.
I have been very good at taking care of other people first, and putting myself in the back ground for many years. Can you relate?
Luckily I have made amazing strides in fully including myself and not just making sure everybody else Shines.
When I started my radio show, it was my intention to create a platform to help Evolutionary Women have a place to share their wisdom, their challenges, their breakthroughs and their messages, and I felt inspired to include myself in that platform. Well…
Wake Up Call
One morning I got a call from Donna, the owner of the radio station, asking me: “Where is Pernilla in all of this? You started out sharing such a beautiful message, and where have you gone?”
Eh… oops!
I knew she was right and I knew I had started slipping into that old pattern again. You can probably imagine how grateful I was to get this little wake up call from her, snapping me right out of a worn out pattern.
Thank God for Friends who are not afraid to tell you the truth when you need to hear it.
It made me rethink my radio show. I still LOVE helping people Shine. It comes naturally and I don’t think I want to change that. However, I don’t need to do it at my own expense.
So for now I am planning on ‘inviting myself’ onto my own show once or twice a month 🙂
Let your Light Shine!
How deep these roots go to hide our Light and pretend we are not ready/capable/good enough/smart enough/spiritual enough to stand up and shine our Light.
It is time to Realize that we are as good, smart, capable and spiritual as everybody else, and that it is OK to let our Light shine.
I have learned that it is by Shining my Light that it gets brighter, and I am ready to Shine it a little more.
My whole life is about my message: Love, Love and Love. There is no point in hiding that. We have played that game for eons and it didn’t work. Slipping into an old patterns is not a good reason to stay there and hold my Light back. It is a matter of slipping out of it again and keep the Light bright.
My Message, my Mission
I have come to fully embrace that I am not separate from my message, my mission and the rest of my life. It is all one beautiful unique expression, as it is for everyone of us.
It is our task to listen and feel into how our Life wants to unfold and share itself.
An even greater task is to keep our awareness on this unfolding of what we are, do and express until the slippery part is only a vague memory. We and our Light is one and the same. So holding back our Light is holding back who we are and creating a speck of darkness on the planet where the Light is so needed.
Your Wake Up Call
Allow me to be your ‘Donna’ and give you a wake up call to ask yourself: Where are you in all of this? Where did you go? And what old pattern are you hiding your Light behind?
It is time to let it Shine my Friend. It is time to Be one with your Light and Shine who you are to the world.
Please join me on Tuesday August 21 at 11 AM PST on Evolutionary Women Radio to explore this subject further, and feel free to call in with comments, questions and insights. I’d love to connect with you.
Always feel free to leave a comment here and share your experiences.
ALL Love,
Pernilla
Good reminder, Pernilla. Your message and you have so much enoughness!
Love and support in all you are doing and who you are. And it’s a practice for me to watch the “do for others before doing for yourself”.
Hi Jenni, thanks for sharing your sweetness. Yes it is an old pattern especially for Women. It is ‘in our bones’ and it takes quite a commitment to leave it behind.
I know we can do it, because we ARE doing it, one step at a time.
ALL Love,
Pernilla
