In the process of pursuing your goals, are you mentally exhausted trying to figure out what the right step to take is?
Are you blaming yourself for not being good enough for your desires?
Simultaneously, you might feel that your desires are misguided or that you shouldn’t want what you want.
I’ve been there. And it’s just painful.
And telling you that you shouldn’t have any desires… doesn’t work either.
Because just your instinct of wanting scratch your butt when you’re laying down is a desire. I’m just saying.
I present a different framework of approaching your desires.
Instead of denying your desires, what if you were to embrace your desires?
And, what if there’s nothing wrong with where you are and what you desire at the same time?
It IS possible to hold both spaces simultaneously.
The key to healing is to hold the space between what it is that you want (desires) and where you are now. When you do that, you are bridging the gap, and you are in the state of being.
In that state, you are actually in flow, instead of being in resistant yourself. When you pursue your goals in that place, you are coming from a place of self love.
At the same time, you can also recognize that there is nothing wrong with where you are, what you want, your approach, and nothing wrong with you wanting to control & figure everything out either.
This is AND consciousness, it is not either or.
Really. What if nothing needs to change?
The ironic thing is when you approach your goals with the framework of trying to change yourself and your desires (this includes believing something is wrong with you from your trauma to background to your parts to your desires), you may actually be repelling what you want because in that energy you are desperate, devaluing yourself, and hating yourself.
In other words, you don’t believe that you’re good enough just as you are, whether your desires manifest or not. (And that’s ok, I get it because I’ve been through it and it’s painful.)
Instead, embrace where you are and your desire simultaneously. Hold space for the two.
Because when you’re doing so, you are no longer perpetually seeking. This seeking can keep you trap in a cycle of fantasy, creating an illusion that once you achieve your desires, everything will fall into place, and you will experience unending happiness and fulfillment.
Even as your desires begin to manifest, you will still experience "negative" emotions, which will lead to new desires…
This framework encourages you to engage with reality as it is, rather than as you wish it to be, whilst still taking action from a place of self-love.
In this space, you attract. You don’t chase.

In essence, healing is merely to realize your true nature, through accepting where you are now and your desires simultaneously. -Lana
