Many people think that the lockdown brought on by Covid 19 is the reason for their “unhappiness”, but the truth probably is that Covid 19 did “not” bring the unhappiness, it simply revealed it.  The world was moving at such an unbelievable pace that no one was taking time to think through what they were really creating with their words, thoughts, or actions. It seems as if the COVID-19 lockdown has thrown many people off balance. To some, the problem is the job, home environment, relationships, or the lack thereof.  From a Spiritual Life Coaching perspective, the real issue of dissatisfaction, disconnection, disempowerment, and disappointment all come from the same place… a lack of authentic connection with yourself and God. Because the world is no longer moving at the same pace, people are no longer able to distract themselves by wasting time on computers at work; meeting friends for endless rounds of drinks; or plain old multi-tasking beyond limits. This slowdown can be a benefit if you lean into the dissatisfaction, lean into the disconnection, take the time to see what triggers or upsets you.  Things in your life need to change and now is the time to make that happen.  

One of the first things you need to consider doing is pulling back your energy from engagement with others.  In pulling back, you can see where you have been projecting your beliefs and opinions creating a level of conflict and chaos that comes from “domination”. Many people think that just because they have a talent or a skill that everybody wants to hear from them. Newsflash…Nobody wants their personal sovereignty invaded someone’s beliefs imposed on them. Wives don’t want to feel dominated by husbands… children don’t want to feel dominated by parents…blacks don’t want to feel dominated by whites…people in developing countries don’t want to feel dominated by people in Western countries…Nobody wants to feel dominated by anybody…Just for now, if you still have a tremendous need to comment on everything that everybody is doing, just ask “permission to land”.  If you want to speak on an issue that another is sharing with you, get permission to comment before blurting things out or imposing your will.  If you don’t get permission first, the result often is resistance from the person you are trying to help.  If you really want to see a change in your circumstances, consider changing yourself.

As we come out of Covid, it is time to “raise the vibration” of the planet and not go back to life as usual. We must move from this place of “me, myself, and I” to a place of “we, ourselves and us”. Because the human ego operates from this place of “what about me it”, it creates division and separation which results in conflict and chaos. How do we get beyond engaging one another from this place? The answer… it is time to partner with the Divine. What is the “Divine”? In the simplest terms, it is God or the “Source of All Creation” which is the essential essence of who we are at our core that gives us our: inner knowing, inner blueprint, divine guidance, intuition.  Simply put it is that part of us that “knows that it knows”. It is only from connecting to this place, that we can constructively create a new world where oneness reigns.  Now is the time to change…What are you becoming?
