Relaxing into myself

I am always fascinated by my ability to discover new things about myself. It is a wonderful feeling, usually, and I am glad for it. :)

As I relax into my life and enjoy each moment more and more, I have come to realize the great capacity that I have to find joy in a variety of situations. Many of these experiences, in the past, would have sent me over the top, getting upset about not being in control of the situation or not feeling like it was fair or something.

More often then not, I am able to allow those feelings of frustration to pass through me, rather than take control of me. I allow them their say in my head, but I don't attach myself to their words. Said another way, I allow the feeling to happen, but I don't identify with it. If I were having the feeling of being a bad person does not mean that I *am* a bad person. If I feel angry, doesn't mean I *am* an angry person.

In other words, I am able to detach those feelings of remorse, guilt, anger, fear, etc. more easily then in the past and, in doing so, I have been able to overcome many of the patterns of thought that I have created for myself that feel like I am in a stuck place or moving backwards. I can now more easily see the humor and joy in any situation. I can enjoy the process of expanding and exploring myself and the world without the hang-ups that have hindered me in my past.

I hope, through Feline Dreamers, the Dream Journal, and our PawedCats Podcast (among other things) that I can help share this knowledge and the ideas that come from my self discoveries. I hope you all take the opportunity to explore who you are and find out what capacity for love you can have and hold in your heart.

Many blessings!
