Free to Be Me
by BlackLion
Have you ever thought of yourself as unique, gifted, or eccentric? Do you feel like you are ho-hum, run-of-the-mill, or normal? Perhaps you are a mix of all these things, depending on what subject or attribute, like creativity, intelligence, social status, or kindness. The great thing is, you are free to choose who you are.
Freedom is a state of mind, because it is through your intention and focus that the universe provides you what you are wanting and feeling. Of course, you were influenced from your youngest years to do what you were told, go along to get along, and so many other rules while you grew up as part of a family and community. Yet now you get to decide how you react to these intense stimuli. You may choose to fight, choose flight, or simply hide in plain sight.
Free will is the ability to choose and discern what is best for you in your life and what could feel better, even much better. By actively engaging your inner senses and communicating with your spiritual guidance, you can figure out what it is that makes you, You. And with this ability to choose, you can be, do and have anything you want.
Being who you are can be pretty scary. Wow, you are completely and wholly responsible for what happens in your life, including the crud. But now that you are free to be who you are, you get to shine your light in whatever ways you want. By using your magickal tools – meditation, affirmations, yoga, focus wheels, etc. – you are facilitating your unique expression of the true you. And the freedom you’ll discover is profound!
When you choose the intention of “free to be me,” you are the champion of your own life. You get to decide how you see your life, your co-creators, and your loved ones. You get to choose which kind of work pleases and nourishes you. You are free to be the creative genius you know you are.
So what are some of the roadblocks to your freedom? Perhaps you have some limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Do you feel like you are not worthy of success? Do you feel that others are keeping you down or scuttling your dreams? One of the most important reminders you can have is to know that you are responsible (thankfully) for your own happiness. By taking your power back, not that you ever truly lost it, you get to choose what you think and feel about your life.
And with this power, you are free!
Your mindset is vitally important and when you are feeling cranky, upset, or angry, you are only attracting circumstances that will increase those feelings. Acknowledge them, feel them and then let them go. When you focus on your creativity, joy, and love, the universe draws to you people and experiences that match those feelings too. What an awesome superpower!
Understand that you are the captain of your own ship and that you get to be free to be who you are because you choose to. Your intention is vitally important. Foster feelings of freedom, even simple ones like choosing what feels better in each moment. Freedom is a feeling and continuing to feel this way will open up so much beauty and wonder and joy and love in your life. Cheers!
