Speaking and Living our Truth…

     Go ahead. Do it. See how life changes. It’s bold. It’s empowering. It’s freeing. It’s what we must do to reach true health and happiness. It’s part of the process of letting go of what does not serve us well. It is part of the learning curve in feeling worthy. It is part of the process in expanding on our purpose. It also helps to really tune into the truth of our Self.
​
     That being said, Yes, we can also do it in a nice way. We don’t have to be nasty to get our truth expressed. Remember do it with love. I also fall back on my belief that “everyone is doing the best they can at every moment in time with what they know”. I also know that when we are not feeling well it is about just being out of alignment and having thoughts that are not the truth about our Self or someone else’s Self. We are all part of the same, which is Love. So if we are all part of that Love then we All must be on each others Team. No matter what. Yes we can have different views. Yes we can get emotional. But it passes quickly if we let it and then we are on to the next. Just let it be. Try to enjoy the process. I am talking to my Self right now too because sometimes I forget and need to remind my own Self. It’s a never-ending journey people. That is Life.

     Speaking our Truth might not win a popularity contest But it serves All of us in a better way. The more we tap into our Truth, we all shift and rise up higher. That’s the natural process. When we fight against one’s Truth we keep that negative energy going and then that is our Truth at that moment in time. The trick is to find something that feels good and focus on that until we can rise up high again and keep moving in the direction we see fit for our Self. Yes it takes practice just like practicing to get good at a sport or job or artistic craft. So if all else fails, meditate, take a nap, or sleep until we can speak our Truth. Listen and stay quiet until we can get in the zone and express what we like with Love. I am not saying hold back or stuff our emotions when they appear. Let them out and let them surface. It might not look pretty. But if we want positive results then with Love is always our best option.

     Perhaps this all seems like a bunch of mumbo jumbo and a bunch of spiritual crap. I can understand that view. I had a friend ask me for suggestions on making life less hectic and they also said I never explain what I personally do to feel the freedom and keep life peaceful. I chuckled because I also had a situation recently where I went above and beyond to “explain myself” thinking it would help But it did not go well. :) I spoke my truth and the other person was offended and took it personal. ( more learning lessons , not taking anything personal And not feeling like you need to explain yourself). Still learning people. :) Anywho, my friend who has a super hectic schedule every single day and lots of kids just can’t seem to catch a break. They often tell me about the To do list which is jam packed with many things to get done “or else”… things might fall apart? I paused before I answered because it is REALLY easy to get into a “lemme tell ya what to do” type of answer BUT I find time after time that leading by example wins hands down. Just another way to speak your Truth. It does not always have to involve words.  In this case speaking my truth looks like I am saying nothing. But words are words and we all must go through our own process. Because I understand this and fall back on my “Tami quotes” to help me respond sometimes,  I replied with “it’s a belief system and letting go of many things”. I am sure that is a frustrating answer because we all naturally seek that “magic pill”. However if I spit out a new to do list of meditation, wake up early and exercise, prep your healthy food for the week, be present in every situation, speak with love all the time, hang out with your kids and have fun, turn off your electronics, etc, etc etc then THIS now becomes a new “ to do “ list that seems unattainable. And the same cycle that does not feel good continues to perpetuate. Feel me?

     Another example of truth, hot topic for sure, so don’t judge, Covid vaccine. To get or not to get, that is the question. Some pose the question why would you not? I am sure that answer seems like it would be obvious since we have all lived in the world the past year. We all made our own realities and tried our best to “abide by the rules” and still live our own truth. We all now have some type of education on Immune systems and the importance of wellness and most of us have desire to be healthy. So whatever your ideas and decisions are around covid, that is you speaking your truth and what feels best for you now. I have my own ideals and what feels best on how to take care of my Self. I can respect and work with truth. Remember that “speaking with love” quote from up above?… Gotta stick to it. When people have contrasting thoughts and beliefs it is ok. Everything is always working out for our higher good. Always. Even when our current reality doesn’t seem like it.  There are many ways to live  in health and happiness. I don’t have a magic answer so I stick to my "Tami quotes” once again. As we keep steering our boat we can speak and live our truth. Let each individual do themselves as they see fit, yes?

     So why do I share the idea of “speaking our truth”? Which has now turned into LIVING our TRUTH. Because for some it can be a starting point as a pathway to get to our happy place permanently. It’s not about being self-righteous with our Truth. It’s a simple case of everyone is different with different tastes and desires and what might work for me might not work as well for you.  To make a shift. To make a slight change. To empower yourself. To live freely. To change perspective. To believe in your self. To accept others as they are right now. To be compassionate. To be kind. To keep moving forward. These can be simple choices that start a whole new world of being. So as an advocate for living a Healthy Lifestyle, I continue to share pieces of my personal pie in my own journey as a means to simply show others what already exist within themselves. We are not broken. We don’t need to be fixed. There is nothing wrong with us. We are All right. We are all in this big chunk of the universe together right now so why not figure out how to live in it joyously. Is that not why we are here in the first place? Reaching and Awakening to our personal Truth can be a VERY good starting point.


Cheers my friends
Much Love in the air
