Are you being stalked?

I shared this message in 2017, five years later it is still relevant.

How are you being stalked, right now? Yes, stalked!

When life gets rough, what is the primary way that you get pulled down into it?

Is it anger, negative self-talk or thoughts, old family patterns, grief, depression?

We have each personally chosen to be here now, and everything is up. It is so easy to get caught in a version of yourself that is definitely not your "best or highest" self - who you could be or who you want to be.

So how do you get out of those darker moments?

Step 1: Recognize this is NOT the best version of yourself.

The universe will show you what is happening. Awareness practices are key. Be awake to what you are creating.

Step 2: Ask, is it yours? Does it even belong to you?

Maybe it is the family grief or sadness, or you may be holding the earth's pain or the anger of the feminine or the oppressed.

What's needed is to send it out from “stalking” your sacred personal space.

Step 3: Move, shift, or change.

Here is an easy and beautiful process I learned from my therapist, a 75-something wise woman and energy master.

Begin by grounding to the earth. It may be easier to do this by being in or looking out at nature.

Say the following mantra using your full name: "My name is Linda Lee Weldon Fitch (your name, of course). I am no one but Linda Lee Weldon Fitch (again, your name instead). Anything that is not in my highest good or best version of me must leave, now!"

Take a deep breath and blow it out and allow the energy to drain out of your space.

Do this as many times as needed until you feel yourself clear.

Keep things moving with your personal work and then stay awake and notice as you create a highest and best version of yourself.

Step 4: Become the visionary.

Remember you are actively creating your world.

In the words of Maya Angelou: "We are all at once both a composition and a composer. We have the ability not only to compose the future of our own lives, but to help compose the future of everyone around us and the communities in which we live."

Step 5: Love!

To love yourself is the most important step in becoming the best version of who you are. Love others; even strangers; and love the earth and all she gives to us. Come back to your heart to change the vibration of this "moment in time" to compose your world and our world.
