[Note from Gina]-Hitting 'rock bottom' + what to do, Part 3
Published: Mon, 06/03/13
Thanks for opening up this third note - it means a lot that you allow
me some valuable space in your inbox.....
So far we've learned some simple truths about hitting rock bottom.
Let's quickly recap:
1. Hitting rock bottom doesn't always have to be a negative thing.
2. You won't be there forever.
3. Great things have surfaced for many who have hit what they call
'rock bottom'.
4. If you allow it, you can learn + gain some big insights from
this place.
5. Awareness is key
And one big thing I'm hoping that these notes are revealing for you
is that there can be different perspectives around what it means to
hit rock bottom...and actually every other experience you move
through in life.
For instance, now it could mean to you that...hey, I'm on the verge
of something big.
Or maybe it's...hey, I realize this happens from time to time but I
know that this too shall pass.
Or that...hey, with awareness, I now know I have choices. And by
choosing with awareness, I'm opening up space within my being, even
if I choose to stay right where I am.
So in this last note to you about this topic, I said I'd chat a bit
about:
What you do next.........
And yes, as I said, there is always something that you can do....and
that something you choose to do, may be choosing to do absolutely
nothing at all.
What? you may ask......what the heck does that mean?
Well, the best way I can say it is this:
As long as you are aware of the choice you are making instead of
that choice coming from un-mindful zombie-mode, then that's
absolutely ok.
Why?
The awareness is there and that is SO key.
You are fully aware that you chose to stay exactly where you are
and do nothing for now and from that place, you can notice what
shows up for you.
Because you are aware, you notice how you are feeling being there.
You're not numbing out your feelings.
Because you are aware, you notice the thoughts that arise within you.
You're not a zombie being controlled by them anymore.
Because you are aware, you know you always have a choice and that
there are new ways to look at things.
Therefore, you're not as judgmental about this place that you are in
and you don't even need to label it as 'rock bottom' anymore.
You may even come to think of it as an adventure or being on the
brink of greatness.
You learn about yourself and your relationship with life, as it is,
in that moment.
And all of a sudden, without you even trying to figure anything out,
you know exactly what to do next........why? Because you are aware
and that causes a shift in your consciousness. (Can you feel that
shift happening already?!)
