Don’t forget, you’re always evolving.

Evolve

develop gradually, especially from a simple to more complex form
give off(gas or heat)

 

Let me remind you something about yourself that you may not marvel over with much frequency, at one point in time half of you was merely fluid in your biological fathers testicles, and the other half of you was an egg in your biological mothers ovary.  Until one fateful day those two bits of cellular material collided, and your DNA began to evolve itself into existence.  That is to say, beyond your conscious mind ever coming to be you were already a part of the evolutionary process.

While we don’t have to consciously participate in the evolution of our cells and body, we can deliberately strive to grow our awareness.

Evolving as a conscious being means waking up to, acknowledging, and furthermore addressing things about our person that would more often than not be much easier to ignore and deflect.

For example: patience is something I struggle with, and I could very easily continue to rationalize, and place blame by saying, “I am not impatient, everyone around me is slow.”  This train of thought not only strengthens my ego, but it also hinders my growth and evolution as a person.   

 

I address my impatience daily by reframing the thought patterns that I recognize as toxic and replacing them with affirmations.

“I am exactly where I am supposed to be.”

“This gives me an opportunity to focus on my breath.”

“I have my health, and I feel happy.”

 

With evolution in mind, I dare you to continually ask yourself:

Where do I deflect and place blame in my life?

AND

What is one small thing I can implement to intentionally grow my awareness?

“I am exactly where I am supposed to be”. This simple thought is very profound to me. As I am here enjoying my morning with so much to do and think about. I often feel a sense of anxiety that I am not as far along as I should be, in my day and in my life. But when I think back to where I was and compare it to where I am now, I realize that I really have evolved. Thank you for this reminder. 🙂
