It is YOUR choice....what is your focus?

A few days ago, 

I went for a walk in the forest.

I took a path I walked many times,

past an old dead tree.

My focus was on the 'dead' part...

You can tell it was once a huge tree,

now, 

you can only see what was left of it

at least….

that is what I saw 

till that day.

This day I saw something else as well: 

out of the old dead tree,

a new tree was growing

and

I hadn't seen it till then!

It is not that it is a small one,

and I couldn't see it:

I am sure it was there the last times

I walked there and....

I didn't see it..

How often do we focus on the pain,

and forget 

that something new is growing as well.

Live goes on,

next to the pain.

If we focus on the pain,

we forget there are memories as well.

Good memories,

memories to remember,

memories to share,

memories to be grateful for.

Remembering….

Not only if someone dies,

also when people are sick.

When you are going through a divorce,

or when people you loved,

go different paths.

When you let go of a job,

a habit

or a life expectancy:

it all feels like a 'dead'...

You feel raw inside,

people see the vulnerable you..

if you let them...

Can you deal with it yourself,

KNOW that it is part of you….?

Do you give yourself time to heal

and attract people around you

to help you heal?

I hope you all have people around you

that 'face you',

share there energy

if you need this.

Not only if you lost someone,

also if you are dealing with sickness,

with a transition of a job,

dealing with relationship issues,

or dealing with personal issues..

Issues that make you believe

you are not good enough,

that you 'failed'....

….it is old, like these old tree's on the left.

Choose to go to the other side....

KNOW deep down that you are guided

and choose to make the next step.

And

look for signs of new life,

I walked from the path

to look closer at this old tree trunk

and saw a lot of new, little 'trees'  

growing on top of it:

new life...

New life is starting.

Do you see it in your life yet?

Can you remember the good things

-of the people who are not in your life anymore

-of the job you (had) to let go of

-of the partner who was once the love of your life

-of the old habits 

and be grateful of your growth.

Can you remember

and let the past be the 'good potting soil'

 instead of the poising one….

Remember:

YOU choose….

-A good movie to watch is 'Lion' about a little boy that was lost and adopted: he remembered….and choose to look for his family. He found them through google map....

Choose to forgive

choose to remember,

choose to be sad AND happy,

choose to be open.

Mercury, the planet of communication 

will be in it shadow from Febr. 2. 

It will be retrograde between the 16 of febr. an March 9.

A time to go inside: 

how do you communicate with yourself?

This year all the retrograde of Mercury 

will be in water signs.

This means that it will be about feelings, emotions.

Water can be overwhelming, it also cleans....

something to remember ;-)

I already see a theme for me:

focus a bit more about all the positive signs

I am sure there are already more then I see :-)

How is it with you?

If you are still in this fase

...that is ok

and perhaps it will need some time.

Start by remembering,

write down the good things,

be grateful

so you will attract in you life 

what you deserve.
