Chances are you’ve heard the term “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” But what’s small stuff to one person could be enormous to another. So, how can anyone know when something is big enough to be worth sweating and when something is just not worth the negative energy it will most likely generate? There is no exact correct answer to this question. Still, a lot can be said regarding the idea, truth, and significance of the advice offered in this phrase. Let’s look further into how this phrase, when used daily, could be the most powerful sentence and even the best advice you ever receive. Like many of life’s biggest lessons, understanding the truth in those five little words requires someone to have experienced some not-so-small moments. I’ve come to realize that the biggest lessons we can take from the darker times in life are often the simplest ideas. If a person has never really lived through trauma and been forced to either give up or fight, then such a statement would be rather difficult for them to fathom. It all boils down to the importance of contrast. Almost all spiritual gurus around the globe agree that for a conscious being to awaken, there must be contrast in their life. Contrast, when it comes to spiritual growth, is paramount because, without it, it would be almost impossible for a person to realize when something is either positive or negative. 

Contrast | Don’t sweat the small stuff

Let me provide an example to help further explain what I mean by contrast. It’s completely hypothetical and quite unlikely, but I believe it’ll help drive my point home. Let’s say you lived in a place where you never had the opportunity to soak up direct sunlight for the entirety of your life. You lived nineteen years before you personally experienced the feeling generated by standing in direct sunlight. Until that moment, you had no idea what you were missing, or not missing, for some of you sun haters out there. Because it was something you had never experienced first-hand, you were fine knowing that you’d never been exposed to full, direct sunlight. Suddenly, your reality has gone from one where the sun was something you were aware existed but had not felt personally to one where you are in complete awareness of what the sun’s power can provide. Your life will forever change because of this new experience. Depending on how the new experience affected you, a great change has occurred in your reality.

If you find the sun to be nothing special, you will go back to your overcast life and be happy and grateful that you live where you live and that you really don’t have to worry about the peskiness of the sun in the future. Now, if you found the feelings ignited in you by the sunlight that shined on you directly were positive or even mind-altering, you are now going to live in a reality where you are aware that something is missing. It will become something you seek to find down the road. What I mean by that is when it comes to creating and living a life that you enjoy and are content with, you must first understand contrast. I can prove my point simply by asking you to find a person who has gone through a spiritual awakening and ask them what kind of life they’ve lived. Ask them how they knew that they could see that waking up was necessary for them. Find out what their path to enlightenment was like. In fact, ask several highly conscious people what kind of life they’ve lived before reaching the point of spiritual and consciousness maturity. If you can’t think of anyone to ask off the top of your head, don’t worry. I will gladly help you out. I can guarantee that the stories would all be unique to the individual, but the theme would be the same. And that theme I’m speaking of is “hardship.” 

Hardship & Change

While there may be an exception to the rule, the general truth of the matter is that anyone who has awakened spiritually has most definitely not reached that level without overcoming a great amount of sorrow and strife. The dark night of the soul is often used by spiritual advisors I follow to explain times in a person’s life when they seemed to constantly be put through hell. In my process of reaching enlightenment, I’ve found a lot of helpful information and advice on the website www.lonerwolf.com. On this site, I found the best explanation of the term “Dark night of the soul.” There, it is defined as “The period of utter spiritual desolation, disconnection, and emptiness in which one feels totally separated from the Divine.” It is almost always the case that a person goes through many moments relating to such an idea. When that person possesses the drive to grow due to their darkest, most difficult battles, two opportunities will present themselves. The first one is the chance for the person to come through the struggles to reach the epiphanic realization that they are stronger and more powerful than they ever could have imagined. It’s said that “With great power comes great responsibility,” but with great power also comes a life full of seemingly endless obstacles and tribulations.

The second opportunity is for the person to come through the process with the understanding of how often we humans like to make mountains out of molehills. If this second opportunity is seized entirely, this awakened one will forever have a chance to not only avoid being brought down by insignificant setbacks. They’ll also be able to find positivity and happiness in what would seem to be a not-that-great moment or series of moments. Once you have faced the darkness, walked through it, and kept on shining, you can become unstoppable. Becoming unstoppable and capable of overcoming anything that may come your way relates to the idea of “Don’t sweat the small stuff” because if that is your truth, you hold the power and knowledge necessary to put this cliche into effect. The truth is, even the most in-tune, highly-conscious, spiritually awakened individual can and often will find themselves feeling defeated by something not even that important despite them having gone through many moments of much more difficult, much more intense darkness. But with the simple understanding and intention of making the phrase included in the title of this article, anyone can pull themselves out of a funk that doesn’t justify them being in the funk at all. 

Heightened Awareness | Don’t sweat the small stuff

Understanding the importance of not sweating the small stuff can be a game-changer. It can change your entire life in the most positive way. Staying in a state of awareness is always the first step to avoiding being sucked into the adverse effects of everyday life experiences. Because one must be aware of the need to change their mindset and alter their energy and vibration before they can do that. And if you’re asking me, remember those five little words are the second step in achieving that positive, upbeat mindset: Don’t sweat the small stuff. Suppose you can focus your awareness when caught in a situation full of negativity. In that case, you can avoid a lot of pain and heartache. You can avoid a lot of unnecessary drama and confrontations with others.

If a person can only stay aware and in control of their feelings long enough to thwart a negative reaction, they can avoid negativity so much more often than they otherwise do. So, the big question is probably: What constitutes upgrading small stuff to big stuff? I have a bit of advice that can help you decipher, and this is it. When your first instinct is to react to something or to dwell on something that isn’t all that great going on in your life or just coming at you in a single moment, take a deep breath and simply ask yourself, “Will I still care and be affected by this in a year? How about two years?” Unless the answer is a resounding yes, my friend, that stuff is small stuff. Let it go. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Life’s too short; you’ve been through too much and come too far to let small stuff take away your power. Don’t let it. Practice the resulting process built from “Don’t sweat the small stuff,” and watch your outlook, energy, relationships, and your whole, entire life change for the better in no time.

Y’all, I’ve had an epiphany! And unlike any of my previous epiphanies, this one has delivered the kind of cosmic insight that may offer the answers to some of humanity’s biggest questions. “Who are we?” “Where do we come from?” or “Why are we here?” In an attempt to expand my consciousness, I received information about such matters regarding our mission and purpose. While you’re reading this, I’d like to remind you to keep in mind that the thoughts and ideas I’ll share throughout the rest of the article are based entirely on my real-life experiences. This is nothing more than my personal interpretation of the messages I believe came to me from a Divine Source of higher consciousness during an intensely powerful meditation session where I received an instantaneous wave of new thoughts and understandings related to the spiritual connection of many awakened individuals on Earth. The info I received changed my entire concept of reality significantly. Along with some brand-new, fresh thoughts, I’ve also found clarity in some older beliefs that I had not yet comprehended. So, if my thoughts, ideas, and beliefs don’t resonate with you, I hope they offer positive energy to you in other ways. I can’t say without a doubt that this makes perfect sense for anyone else, but I feel the insight I’ve received is worth putting out into the world. Maybe I couldn’t be more incorrect, but what if I’m actually on to something? Just what if?

Awakening To Your Mission & Purpose

What if some of us are aliens? What if some of us are from the stars? What if we only look, think, and behave like humans because we’ve agreed to take on the human form to fulfill a purpose greater than any of us can begin to fathom? What if not every soul on Earth is here against their free will? The world we exist in isn’t home to all of us. What if Earth wasn’t just a planet, but it was our mission? Now, don’t let me get carried away. I can’t take credit for the ideology expressed above here. Those are the characteristics of intergalactic beings called “Starseeds.” The concept of Starseeds suggests that there are souls from higher densities that incarnate on Earth with the intention and duty to help awaken the collective consciousness of a planet controlled by shape-shifting alien elites. So, how can you point out a Starseed? Simple. You can’t. Not at first sight, anyway. Even the Starseed themselves aren’t automatically aware of their home origin and that they are here on a mission with a divine purpose. Actually, reaching the awareness of your outer space origin story is a massive part of a Starseed’s existence. And why might this be?

There are many theories as to why this is the case, but it would take far too long and way too much sidetracking to break that sort of information down at this moment. Instead, I’m going to take a look at a few possible explanations of some of the essential steps that make up a Starseed’s journey. Starseeds come in all different shapes, sizes, heights, ethnicities, genders, etc. But as I said before, it’s not an automatic memory available to a Starseed that they’re a Starseed here on a mission with a great purpose. So, how can one come to such an understanding? Well, there are many exercises and experiences in human existence that can help guide Starseeds to the realization that they are indeed from the stars. For instance, spiritual insight can come to anyone willing to open up to establishing a connection with the Divine. Such communication can be achieved through meditation practices, the study of advanced astrology and numerology teachings, as well as different types of hypnotherapies, i.e., past-life regression.

Forgetting For a Higher Purpose

Upon this realization, I suddenly began to question why this is so often the case for the majority of Starseeds. The answer came to my mind as quickly as the question. So, why is it that all Starseeds must take on the physical makeup of a human before being able to incarnate on Earth? After all, the way in which every Starseed begins existing in the 3rd-dimensional reality and as well as how they leave it, is the exact same way that all humans begin life on this planet. Both Starseeds and humans seem to come into this world with a brain that is a fresh slate and completely wiped off any previously obtained information from previous lives. An unfortunate truth for all humans when it comes to the fact that their own minds are controlled by an invisible dark force from the moment they are born. So, if Starseeds have a mission to exist in this dimension with a purpose to help guide humanity to its awakening and eventual ascension, why is it necessary for them to follow the same incarnation process and the negative side effects that go with it? Well, I’m excited to say that an answer to this question was a part of the message from the Divine that I received.

This was when I came to a newfound understanding that in order for a soul to become a part of the 3D material world, there obviously has to be a physical body that will contain their consciousness and allow them to exist on Earth. This, of course, means that a Starseed here on a mission with a purpose can only inhabit this planet if they take on the same Earthly form as organic humans. But when consciousness, or soul, originates from a dimension equal to or higher than the 5th, it’s reasonable to assume that these beings naturally maintain a vibration and frequency that exceeds the highest frequency that can exist in Earth’s 3-D reality. This would explain why it may be necessary for a Starseed to agree to incarnate on a lower frequency planet at a vibration that will allow them to interact in the physical world with those they’ve been sent to assist in ascension.

Perhaps, we must be stripped of our power, our wisdom, and all knowledge of who we are, where we came from, and why we’re here in order to begin our mission as a Starseed. I was so thankful for this recent idea behind why Starseeds are kept at similar disadvantages as the organic humans, aka Earthseeds. Why? Well, because until my latest understanding came to me, I had often found myself feeling as if the explanation was a much darker, more depressing one. The kind that centered around the belief that Earth is a trap and there’s a trick at play that prevents all souls imprisoned in the 3rd dimension from acquiring the knowledge and tools needed to break free from the control of the Matrix. Such negative thoughts can make it impossible to find the level of strength and power that would be essential to winning the battle for the light that is waging on Earth. Luckily, my latest insight has changed my view on the Starseed journey in a positive way. Breaking down the Matrix means a Starseed must make mandatory sacrifices that result in their ability to infiltrate the system by becoming a part of it.

Lessons & Re-incarnation

Now that I’ve shared my thoughts on why Starseeds must become completely human both physically and mentally, we can conclude that if part of the mission is to become human, another part must be discovering your “higher-purpose” reason for living. A Starseed cannot take on the duties of a Starseed until they become aware that they are alive for a grand reason. This explains why a big part of a Starseed’s existence involves hardships and constant life events that test their mental and spiritual strength. It’s as if Starseed’s are doomed to live such difficult and spiritually draining human lives. It’s through the dark, trying moments in a lifetime that Starseeds are forced to find their strength and discover the power of who they truly are and how important of a role they play with their mission in aiding humanity in its ascension from a 3D to a 5D reality. If you were to ask a Starseed if they had faced many struggles in their life building up to their understanding of their higher density origin and the purpose that brought them to Earth, I guarantee it would be the case for the majority.

So, if a difficult life is what helps us awaken to our truth, why is it often true that most Starseeds believe they’ve gone through multiple incarnations and have lived a large number of individual lives? What could explain the reason for so many Starseeds resonating with the belief that they’ve lived many lives since first incarnating on Earth? The belief that many Starseeds have been through many human incarnations may be There must be a reason we keep agreeing to reincarnate and come back to this terrible reality after each of our previous lifetimes. And this understanding is the answer to why Starseeds feel as if they’ve experienced a great number of incarnations and lifetimes. What if we come back over and over again, lifetime after lifetime, and we get a bit closer to figuring out the winning formula that will allow us to complete our mission on Earth?

Upon our physical death, I believe we cross over to a higher plane of existence where we are made aware of our original plan, where we came from, what we are supposed to be doing on Earth, as well as a recap of our previous incarnations and what we accomplished throughout them. And because we’ve yet again failed, we have no choice but to try again in another avatar with another plan for us in our next incarnation. It’s like we put together a script that will create the next life we are to live, but because of our failed attempts to successfully awaken the world, we try to create a better plan for our next life so that it may be the one that finally results in the success of our mission and purpose. After our previous attempt to free humanity from the Matrix, we have a chance to create a life and human existence that will be better suited for a quicker and more powerful awakening to who we are and what we’re supposed to be doing with our time on Earth. One that will make reaching a point of success much easier.

Multiple Lives | Mission & Purpose

We repeat the cycle of reincarnation with the understanding and information gained throughout our previous attempts to achieve humanity’s ascension. Eventually, the scripts we create for our next incarnation will result in the success of the Starseed mission. The details around this particular belief may explain why there seem to be mass spiritual awakenings that occur during certain generations. I realize that’s a lot of information to take in, so I’m going to break it down into some basic points and ideas of what I’ve come to feel is the true nature of reality. First, Earth is being controlled by dark energies that keep the organic souls of the planet trapped in a cycle of reincarnation. (Side note: the reason behind trapping the souls is because they’ve managed to create religions and faiths that make conscious-beings worship and adore them. They basically steal the divine power of the pure, sovereign souls of humanity by convincing them that they’re not divine and that they are unworthy of divine love. That they are weak and must be saved.)

Anyways, on to the second point. To help the trapped and controlled Earthseed beings, higher-vibrational beings called Starseeds agree to lower their vibration/frequency in order to incarnate into the lower-frequency Earthly dimensions so they can begin the process of recreating a human existence. It’s in this lower vibrational form and in the 3D Matrix control that Starseeds experience difficulties in human existence that result in the discovery of who they are and why they came to Earth. And lastly, I gave a possible explanation for the reason Starseeds seem to experience many incarnations and lifetimes over the course of their time in the 3D reality. The reason is that they are stripped of previously obtained knowledge at the start of every new life and, therefore, must incarnate multiple times until they are able to come up with the perfect script for their incarnation that will lead to the most effective guidance for humanity. Once that is achieved, the Starseed mission will be complete, and the humans imprisoned on Earth will experience humanity’s ascension when finally, all organic souls from the light are freed from the Matrix trap and begin the next phase of consciousness in the 5th dimension.

It’s all pretty wild and all over the place, but I just really feel like there’s a lot less to be scared of and a lot more to be open to at this point. Love is the most powerful thing in the universe, but fear is right there with it, and it’s a Starseed’s duty and purpose to bring the energy of divine love to the Earth. I feel like the masses are waking up at a faster rate than ever before. I feel like the Starseeds that are incarnating here to help the process are getting closer and closer to figuring out the formula for a human lifetime that will allow them to do the most amount of work that will yield the most powerful and large shift of them all. The shift that will end the Matrix and allows all organic souls to ascend to the beauty that exists outside the Matrix and its low-frequency darkness.

Life is a long, lonely, dark, and difficult road that, in order to really reach our highest potential and discover just how strong we truly are, we must be prepared to travel alone. Of course, we will always be met with a never-ending stream of fellow humans along the way, but until we’ve had the chance and taken the time to navigate the inevitable bumps, curves, forks, and dead-ends on our individual paths without the help and support anyone other than ourselves, we will have very little to offer the rest of the world. Not because we’re insignificant or because they are, but because we don’t even know ourselves and the true power and strength that lies deep within us. We don’t know just how “Unfuckwithable” we are. That knowledge is impossible to attain without being tested in our earthly form.

Forgetting Who We Are

Now, I know some will argue that they had plenty of awesomeness and tons of awareness of said awesomeness long before they had a chance to experience extreme hardships, but if that’s the case, why come to Earth at all? You could be fully aware of your greatness in your higher-vibrational form, but down here, full awareness of your power comes in the form of creating it from nothing because you need to be fully aware of what lies within you at a soul level. In this 3D reality, many factors keep us weak and unable to know the power we possess, where we come from, and why we are here at all. All sorts of blocks are set in place to make it nearly impossible to access our divine power. Any and all memory of who we are and where we come from is wiped from our consciousness, and we begin our lifetimes totally fresh and unaware of what we are and will always be.

I firmly believe that we are put on this Earth because the strength and power that exists in us as extensions of Source energy must be put through great tests. This world is a school that our higher selves agree to attend as students with the intention to learn the kind of lessons that are only possible if we agree to participate in a system that appears to be against us and that will do everything in its power to keep us from remembering that we are innately gods and goddesses , “unfuckwithable,” and that we all come from the highest source of love and light. And if this is, in fact, the truth of existence, is there any better way to awaken who you are and what you possess beyond the physical world than to have no choice but to overcome the darkness with nothing more than yourself? And the suppressed strength that can only manifest through individual willpower?

Realizing Your Strength

You must be stripped of your power and the knowledge within you so that you can save yourself and rediscover that you’re a powerful being that exists on a planet designed to make you forfeit your truth and give up what you have yet to realize is yours, to begin with. There are steps to becoming “unfuckwithable” and the best version of yourself in this world. Once you’ve achieved what I shared above, it’s time for the next step. You’re awake, and you’ve stepped into a power that, as far as you know, exists because you made it so. If you’re able to wake up to the truth that the world is going to try like hell to kick you until you no longer wish to get back up, but you are stronger than such forces, it’s time to take what you’ve learned and what you know you can offer and share it with the world.

It’s now time to share what you’ve found within yourself and by yourself with that never-ending stream of fellow humans that you passed on your way to the next level, where perhaps you even had to climb from rock bottom. There is plenty more work to do but if you know who you are, if you know that you are here for a reason, if you know that things are not right in the world, you’re one step closer to becoming the kind of person that can not be fucked with. You should be proud. It was not easy to get to where you are now. Your ability to conquer the limitations of the world with a purpose and desire to help others do the same is quite the victory, but don’t get too comfortable. Will you have what it takes to truly become “unfuckwithable?”

Stepping Into Your Power

You’ve made it up a level in the game of life, and you are one step closer to being a force to be reckoned with. Other forces have become aware that your energy and vibration levels are registering higher than they’d prefer, and they don’t like it. You’re no longer a sleeping sheep lacking the knowledge necessary to realize you’re enslaved in a system that wants to exploit you, fail and lose your power completely. And not only that, you’ve decided you aren’t going to sit back and let it happen. At this point, you’ve probably come to the conclusion that this experience on this planet is some sort of trap or prison and that things aren’t right. With that kind of wisdom and understanding, what the heck else is a badass like you to do next?

If your next-level status wasn’t enough to get you out of this Matrix hell and back to wherever it is you came from, it’s safe to say your work here is not done. As hard as it was to awaken your consciousness and take notice that things are so much more than humanity has been made to believe, it can’t get any more difficult. But come on, you know it doesn’t work that way. The work is just beginning, and now it’s going to get a bit trickier because, before, the only person that you had to help was yourself. Now, with greater knowledge comes greater responsibility, and the fate of humanity is in your hands. There are definitely others like you that have gone through the same kind of awakening process. Unique to each specific person, of course, but achieved nonetheless. But unfortunately, there are many more sleeping sheeple than there are conscious beings like you in this world, and it’s going to take your hard work and others like you to mend this broken place on this planet of ours.

But luckily for you and those that you will surely help awaken, your new level of consciousness comes with a pretty cool perk. Because of all your hard work and how well you’ve stepped into your power, you are, for lack of a better term, a beacon of light. Your essence, aura, and light in a world of darkness will shine in the eyes of those who have yet to recognize their power, and you’ll begin to notice that people will gravitate to you because of this gift. You and all the others out there have become one of two things: a guide for those who want to see but are stuck in darkness and a target for forces you probably weren’t expecting. Because you’re aware of just how special you are now, and this world isn’t all that cool with that. So, it’s going to notice that you’re messing with the way it likes to run things because now, not only are you shining brighter than it would prefer, you’re beginning to attract others with that same spark of divinity that’s been stripped and hidden from them, just like it had been for you. And that’s just not acceptable in the eyes of the world and the evil forces that control it.

Keep Shining Brighter

So, guess what? You now get to play a fun game I like to call “Discernment.” This game makes Monopoly look like hopscotch. It’s all about tricking you and using your goodness and loving nature to manipulate you. Because now, you get to learn when those attracted to your light are there because they recognize the same light and need a little help striking it on, so it shines just as brightly as yours. Those folks are great. They’ll let you ignite the light within them, and then they’ll join you and brighten your surroundings. They’ll be a source of support when you struggle to keep shining, and they’ll always do what they can to ensure you never get lost in darkness again. But unfortunately, there will be more than a few people that come into your life because of the light they see shining from you, and it’s not about joining you. It’s about robbing you. You can think of them as energy vampires. They don’t want to help make anything brighter because they feed off of negativity. They’re not even capable of existing where the light shines. They are, in a way, envious of your shine.

They can’t have it, so they don’t want you to have it either. And they will pull out all the stops in attempts to take the glow that you radiate and snuff it out. Some will immediately make it clear that they don’t like what you represent and want it gone. They’ll be acquaintances and insignificant friends. People that you won’t interact with much because they don’t mind exposing how low-vibrational they are. They’re the first line of defense, but for the most part, you will see right through them and curve them without much thought. But there are others like them. These are the ones that will be really hard to fight off. People that fit into this particular group of energy vampires are hard to spot. They come camouflaged as friends and family that love you. They will take the time to manipulate you by taking the love that they sense in you and using it against you. Some of them will have even been out to take your light before you even knew it was in you. They’re likely unconscious and part of the system that doesn’t want to lose its control and power. Their sole reason for existing is to do all they can to make you feel drained and as much negativity as possible.

In some cases, they take the form of a parent. Sometimes they come as siblings. Often, they will be the man or woman of your dreams long enough to get close to you and then destroy you from the inside. It will be hard to let go of these beings because of the Source of love that created you and how that love lives in you so much that you struggle to turn it off when someone doesn’t deserve it and is only there with selfish motives. Be aware of those making you feel like they have the same love in them and want to share it with you, but only long enough to gain your trust so that you allow them to have control of your emotions and so that they can use that control to hurt you. They’ll wait until you’re struggling and you’ve lowered your vibration, and they’ll go in for the kill. Many times, beings like these will come at you in droves. One right after another, and they can be sneaky and cruel.

Hold On Just A Little Longer

In some extreme cases, they’ll wait for you to be hurt by another like them so they can come in and lift you up and bring you comfort. They’ll help you build yourself back up, and you will give them more of you than you have others because you know what it feels like to be hurt so deeply that you long for the support they provide. They’ll be the first person in a long time you feel you could trust. They’ll take you to a high point of success and happiness that makes you feel like you’ve been blessed, and then they’ll use all that they know to knock you down lower than ever before. However, of course, you will still attract the pure souls that do appreciate the strength and power you fought so hard to hold on to, despite being repeatedly attacked emotionally and energetically. Either way, it will not be easy, but one thing must be done.

There’s a level of being that you absolutely have to reach that will make you the kind of human that can harness the most powerful source of love in the universe and hold onto it, no matter how hard. You will have to become so unbreakable that, no matter how many times you hurt, you never stop shining the light of love into the world that must continue to exist so that darkness doesn’t take over. It may only be partially possible to truly know whether or not someone who finds their way to you has only pure intentions. You will want to open yourself up and love unconditionally, and you will do just that. But you will also be hurt because of the same love you hold. At times you will be the reason some of those with the same light can keep shining when they’ve been tricked by the assholes they never thought would hurt them.

There will be times, like, a whole bunch of times, when you will have a conversation with yourself where you contemplate if the only way to stop getting hurt is to give up being the kind of person that always sees the good in people. That forgives even when there’s a chance it will end up opening you up for hurt. You’ll say things like, “I give up, I’m done being nice. I’m done with kindness. I’m just going to be a piece of shit, like everyone else.” But before you follow through with that plan, you’ll remember who you are, where you came from, and what you’ve been put on this planet to do. You’ll rise above the pain and the misguided trust. You’ll think about all those that may never find the light that lives in them if they come to you and you are just another piece of shit, like everyone else. And when you hold to the good that you found in you that helped you wake up despite the never-ending streams of people that came to test you and make you give up, what you know without a doubt is what makes you the being of light and love that is an extension of Source energy. That is when you become “unfuckwithable.”

When it comes to outlook and attitude, it is said that a person will fall into one of two categories. If you’re like me, you’re one of the glass-half-full people. You see water floating in a glass at the halfway point between the bottom and the brim, and you take note of the fact that there is a cup and that there is water. But it doesn’t really occur to you that some of the glass is empty because all you see is what is there, not what is lacking. And then, of course, there’s the glass-half-empty sort of people. They see the same glass with the same amount of water, and instead of taking awareness of what exists in front of them, they focus on the fact that the glass lacks more water than it can hold. Something is missing, and that missing portion is the first thing they notice about the same cup sitting before us that falls into the other category of having a scarcity mindset.

Never Enough

Often, the ones that saw the glass and were immediately drawn to what it lacked aren’t necessarily negative people. Then again, they may very well be individuals with that impossibly high standard who are never happy, no matter what they have or how much. No matter what or who they have in their life, it is just never enough. They could be hired at their dream job, meet their perfect match, or come into more money than they know what to do with and somehow still be stuck on the idea that they need more. They may have what they need and then some, but because they are stuck in what is known as a scarcity mindset, nothing will ever be enough. They may even obsess over how much more they could have and how getting it is of the utmost importance because the thing they seek exists in limited supply.

There is never enough money or time, and even when they do feel joy with something or someone that comes into their life, it doesn’t take long before they need more. Greedy, needy, and forever unsatisfied. People with such an outlook are going to be extremely miserable. Even when they are happy with something that’s come to them, the happiness is short-lived. They may have a lot of friends, plenty of financial stability, a job with all the benefits that one could ever want or need, and the perfect mate. Still, the happiness of such things comes in short supply. Much like the things they are convinced exist in finite quantities, the people who care about and love them tend never to be quite enough. They may find themselves in a great, solid, and healthy relationship only to sabotage the entire thing because, for some reason, they can’t help but feel like they could do better.

They could have been pursuing their significant other for months or even years, desiring them on a very intense level only to win them over, just to conclude that they’re not that great and they could do better. It’s a hell of a deal for their lover because they may be the best of the best, and it wouldn’t matter. It won’t have anything to do with them lacking certain traits that would make them more appealing. It’s all about the fact that the person they are with is always looking for greener grass. After all, it’s always on the other side of where they are. These “forever unsatisfied” folks aren’t necessarily bad people. They’re just mixed up. They can be their own worst enemy. With the way things are in this world, getting stuck in this sort of mentality can be an easy thing to do. Everything is fast-paced, ever-evolving, and constantly being replaced with newer and better versions.

Finding Balance

If you’re one of many who have reached a higher level of self-awareness, you have probably come to the realization that you deserve the very best. You know your worth, and you won’t settle for less because you have found love for yourself. You aren’t going to go through life only accepting what you can get, but you’re going to take what you want and what you know for damn sure you deserve. As well you should. All of us deserve the best. We deserve the money we need to survive and live comfortably. We deserve to have a job that we enjoy, and that makes us happy each time we show up to it. We deserve the love of someone who knows they are luckier than hell to have us. We deserve friends that treat us as well as we treat ourselves. We deserve the finest things personal to us and the most loyal, loving people.

However, finding all that and knowing all that you have without wanting or needing more can be a happy medium that isn’t all that easy to reach. It’s one of those catch-22 types of deals, one of those things that go from healthy to just plain delusional. I’m not going to pretend to know for sure, but for the most part, those of us that have come to know our worth and won’t settle for anything less than what we most definitely deserve were most likely not always all that aware of the fact that we are worthy. We had to work at becoming aware of just how important our needs and wants are. It took years and years of self-development work and overcoming many hardships. It didn’t register with us from day one.

Learning to love ourselves and knowing we are not just enough but recognizing how wonderful we each are individually was a process that required time and effort, and that’s because that’s what being a human is. It’s recognizing that you can improve and that you have to work at bettering yourself all the time. So, if someone reaches that level of awareness but gets a little mixed up along the way and becomes stuck in a scarcity mindset, they aren’t just aware of what they should have but also begin to obsess with the fact of deserving the best to the point where they are constantly seeking more. In this case, it’s safe to say that some inner work can still be done. If all the things I’m talking about are hitting you to the point that you’re starting to question whether or not you are maybe at that point, you may be taking notice of the fact that you’ve gone too far in your journey of knowing your worth and stopping at nothing until you get the best of the best, don’t worry.

How To Find Balance | Scarcity Mindset

Perhaps you’re starting to understand that your relationships are always failing because you are always looking for more, and your desires have gone from healthy to totally impossible. That’s okay. You can always forgive yourself. Much like the work you’ve done on yourself in the past, there’s plenty of work you can still do to get yourself or someone you care about out of a scarcity mindset and into what’s known as an abundant mindset. If you’re reading this and someone or several different people are popping into your mind, I’ve got some info that you may want to pass to them that may just change their life and help them become less miserable. Because let’s face it, people who live with a scarcity mindset are most likely pretty miserable. I will list a few suggestions I’ve discovered for changing unsatisfactory and outdated ways of thinking. They’re all pretty simple and, honestly, quite beneficial exercises for all of us to get involved with.

The first thing I suggest to help shift your mindset is very easy, but it is something that needs practice, so you’ll need to do it each and every day. All you need for this exercise is something to write on and something to write with. Get a notebook or a journal and keep it near your bed or somewhere close to where you have your morning coffee or breakfast. Once you’re good and awake, take a few minutes and write down a list of all the things you have. I mean, everything. Really think about all the people, things, and blessings you’ve got at that very moment and list them. On one of my lists, you’ll find all sorts of randomness. It’ll go from a roof and a bed to my caboodle of makeup. Or from my small group of true friends to my ability to forgive and love despite being poorly treated. You’ll most likely find that you have so much more to be grateful for.

Secondly, shift out of a scarcity mindset by trying to set out at least a few moments a day for some meditation. Take time to reflect and focus on being content at the moment and being satisfied with everything in your life. Send out positive, loving vibes to the people who mean the most to you. Be aware and be grateful. And last but not least, try making a list of goals and dreams that you’d like to achieve. Make them realistic but great. Put them in writing so that you can return to what you wrote and acknowledge when you’ve reached each of your goals. That way, you have a frame of reference and don’t become obsessed and go overboard. It’s okay to get lost and get overzealous, but don’t live there. I’ll leave you with a little something I once read that really changed my life: Once you become aware of something, you become responsible for it. So, if you’re aware of the fact that you’re getting a little ridiculous in your desires, stop. Your happiness is your responsibility.

The post The Great Challenge of Having a Scarcity Mindset appeared first on Sentient Muse.

Have you ever felt like all you really do anymore is struggle to get along with people around you? It doesn’t matter if it’s your closest loved ones or a stranger in line with you at the grocery store. The majority of the time you spend around others has become time spent arguing or getting confrontational over things that would normally not warrant such behavior. Maybe you’ve found yourself getting much angrier than usual, much quicker than you ever had before. Has raising your voice, more aggressive body language, and even storming off in a rage been how you react more often than not lately? If you really think about it, are you constantly fighting someone or something lately in survival mode? Or, perhaps, the opposite is true.

Maybe you’re not acting or reacting at all. Maybe you’ve gotten great at pretending not to notice when bad things are coming at you, and when you can no longer pretend the problem has disappeared, you turn from it and run the other way—distancing yourself from reality and getting as far from your troubles as you can. You are blowing off friends and family that genuinely care about you because it’s just so much easier than facing difficult situations head-on and working towards a solution. Whether that be literally getting away in a physical sense, or you’ve found a way to stay put and escape at the same time through mind-altering substances or negative behavior.

You stay as far away from every person, place, or thing that might make hold you accountable and make you take action. You’ve got a first-class seat on a direct flight to that fantasy world where nothing bad can bother you. Then again, you may be in a time of strife, but there is no reaction to the struggles at all. You’re not doing anything about anything, period. You’re not reacting or retreating. You’re not moving at all. Instead, you’re absolutely stuck in that dark place we call rock-bottom. No matter how much you’re aware of your lack of proactivity, you just cannot motivate yourself to climb out of that pit. Nothing brings you joy or causes you pain. You feel nothing, and you’re not going to make anything better or worse because you’re just not going to engage with anyone or anything. You are barely alive. Frozen in a place where you intend to stay because that’s the only thing you can do anymore.

Fight, flight, or freeze | Survival Mode

So, whether it’s fight, flight, or freeze, your reaction can be attributed to what is known as survival mode. When a human being is thrown into a situation that initiates the survival response, they will react in one of these three ways. This, of course, is something we’re taught about in biology class growing up. Now, I won’t pretend to know a thing about the scientific aspect of this instinctual behavior enough to get very detailed about each of these responses and what they may trigger. What I can tell you is that not only is there a biological backing to this behavior, but a spiritual one too.

It is our root Chakra or Muladhara, believed to control our basic instinctual needs as humans, including the fundamental survival instinct. This chakra, located at the base of your spine, is the chakra associated with the esoteric practice of grounding, as it is said to relate to our primal need to survive and keep our species going. Still, you may find it interesting that one of the most influential aspects of our existence in relation to our first chakra, aka the root chakra, is how we are brought up. Our upbringing can easily be seen as the very foundation of individually, who we each are. It governs how we exist with the energies surrounding us in this reality.

Parenting Style- Survival Mode

And while how we are raised is not the only thing that affects who we are as beings on this planet, to say it doesn’t play a huge role in deciding what kind of person we are and how we will go about existing in this current reality would be, honestly, quite ignorant. Of course, things like our relationship with our parents and the examples set for us by the individuals that we, as children, looked to for guidance will have a lasting effect on who we are, who we want to be, and who we will become. And knowing that these types of experiences are so closely related to our root Chakra is the kind of information that will come in handy when we realize the benefits of reflecting on them. Working out issues we have because of those experiences is necessary while we reach a level of understanding that makes it possible for us to know that a call for spiritual repair has been sent to us. I’d say it’s probably the second most important bit of knowledge that one will need when energy work and Chakra healing are becoming a part of their work on a soul level.

When we are so clearly being made aware of the fact that taking action is necessary for us, we will know what to look at as the healing process becomes a priority. But the most important bit of information when it comes to the root Chakra and how it relates to survival mode is all about awareness. After all, healing cannot begin without first becoming aware that a need to heal exists. You can’t begin clearing a blockage like those that affect such things as our root Chakra if you don’t know it’s even there. Just like a fever helps alert us that we are battling sickness, there are many ways a person’s spirit will show signs of unseen forces that are working against us on a soul level. Just like symptoms help us realize that we are in need of medicine to repair our bodies, the root Chakra has ways of letting us know that it’s time to take action and that it’s time for some spiritual healing to take place.

Energy Blockages

Root Chakra blockages can manifest as both physical symptoms and signs of emotional imbalance. For instance, you may experience lower back, leg, and ankle pain. While this can also just be part of the aging process, there are other symptoms that will surface alongside the physical ones. These, of course, are much harder for us to acknowledge. They are exhibited in the form of emotional or mental trauma or instability. For instance, you may suddenly struggle with a sudden feeling of helplessness. A sense that convinces you that you’re failing as a provider to your family or that you are somehow not capable of taking care of the people you love and care for most.

You may find yourself slacking at work and feeling depressed at the thought of having to go to your job at all. Like it’s all for nothing and is not going to get better. A blocked Muladhara chakra can manifest negatively as sudden jealousy in your otherwise strong relationship. It could cause you to no longer trust the people you always have and that have only treated you in a way that proves you should trust them. Your family and love relationships can feel so out of whack, and it’ll seem as if nothing can or will change the course that you’re on to a life of negativity where you become a victim. And that’s when survival mode loves to kick in, when you’re at your lowest point and feel like you have run out of options that will bring abundance and joy to your life.

It may be harder for you to see the bright side and have a positive outlook in life to the point that you’re now fighting with the people that mean the most to you. Your relationships may go from one built on love and trust to one full of resentment and envy. Failing to recognize that you require some root chakra healing may result in you hurting someone you love with constant accusations of cheating that stems only from your low energy or vibrational status if your survival response is “fight.” However, if you’re the type of person that goes into flight mode, you may have cut off all contact with the person you are in a relationship with because a blocked root chakra has your defense mechanisms in full swing. You may be running around going wild and partying to escape that difficult-to-see instinct of survival mode that you’re unknowingly dealing with.

And if you’re the “freeze” type, you probably have a lover that you cut off totally and completely—ghosting them because you’re dealing with internal blockages that directly affect your ability to be grounded and aligned. You could find that you’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy. You may begin slacking off at your job or not paying as much attention to your children if life seems to be a constant enemy that really feels hopeless. But the explanation for why may be the kind that can be changed for the better. If you know that your actions are related to human survival response and become aware that survival response is related to the root Chakra, you can find what’s needed to get through your funk. By simply following suggested practices that will help clear root Chakra blockages, you can heal yourself from within.

Awareness- Thrive

Just being made aware that there are links to spiritual sickness and physical ones can be all you need to enjoy life and become the kind of person who controls their happiness because they are able to see that sometimes it takes more than a couple of pain pills or a nap to heal. Sometimes, it takes a little bit of energy healing, and spiritual or psychological work. When it seems like your fight, flight, or freeze response is kicking in because of whatever life is putting you through, there is comfort to be found in something as simple as awareness. Being aware of the different ways your spirit is said to guide you can be all it takes to get us on the right track, where taking care of ourselves on a soul level is just as important as taking care of ourselves when we have the flu. So, when you find yourself in survival mode, fighting, flying, or freezing through life, it’s time for some root chakra therapy. Walk barefoot in nature, soak up some sun, and plant a garden. Get out and find peace in the simple things and the most natural environments. Turn survival mode into “Thrival” mode.

So, you’re a Starseed. Way to go! You successfully discovered something about yourself that this upside-down, inside-out world tries so damn hard to keep hidden. I hope you are completely aware of just how special and important you are. I hope you have stepped into or are at least getting ready to step into the full power that exists within you. As someone who also managed to find out the truth about who and what I truly am, I have to say that I’m so excited for you and would like to take this opportunity to offer some things I’ve come to know since becoming aware of why I exist on Earth. I definitely don’t have all the answers, but as I’ve had a little more time to dive deep into what it means to be a worker of the light here on this planet, I’d like to offer the insights I’ve acquired thus far.

Much of what is known about starseeds can be attributed to the work of renowned hypnotherapist Dolores Cannon. For over 50 years, Dolores Cannon led hypnotherapy sessions known as past-life regression to further understand metaphysical subjects such as reincarnation, afterlife experiences, and what she referred to as the “three waves of volunteers,” aka starseeds. While participating in the practice, patients were able to recall memories of previous incarnations on this planet as well as those of times before and after life on Earth. Dolores soon realized that what she heard during each session wasn’t coming from the subconscious thoughts of each individual but was, in fact, divine communication from a single, common resource.

The resource she would eventually refer to simply as “The Source.” Through the recollected memories and experiences of her patients while interacting with them in their hypnotic state, The Source revealed to Dolores knowledge that would change all that we once thought we knew about the true nature of reality. Her participation in the focus of this type of spiritual work has made it possible for starseeds to begin understanding why they often feel as if they “don’t belong” on Earth. If you’ve ever felt that unexplainable feeling yourself, I recommend researching the work of Dolores Cannon involving “The Subconscious” and “The Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique®.”

Now, my journey is no more important than yours, and I am in no way any more powerful than you are. I’m not here to serve as some sort of guru that has all the answers you seek to find. I’m just a fellow alien in a human suit that’s had a little more time to dig up some answers to the sort of questions that are pretty common following the type of awakening we’ve experienced. But, before I go into that, I want to congratulate you on getting to this point in your life. You deserve to be fully acknowledged for being as powerful and strong as you are. You deserve to be celebrated for getting to your current level of understanding. Obviously, I don’t know all the details of your journey and what it has entailed until now, but I know that whatever you’ve experienced in your life could not have been easy. In fact, I’m sure that it has been extremely dark, lonely, and difficult.

I certainly believe that nobody comes to know they are a Starseed without first dealing with extremely traumatic experiences along the way. The “Dark Night of The Soul,” which is said to come with being a part of the Starseed mission, is not called that for nothing. So, just know that you are a fucking badass and should feel extremely proud for overcoming all that you’ve been through and with the ability to stay positive enough to see the bigger picture. You should be proud to have the ability to forge on and uncover how you will aid the mission we are all here to carry out. Now, I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m convinced that humility is not so much a virtue as it is a hindrance.

Being sure to stay humble is something that the world says is an endearing trait of powerful people, but if you ask me, it’s nothing but a tactic the bad guys in the shadows created to make us give up a little bit of the great power that we possess. Fuck that. You are a god/goddess, and you worked hard as hell to get to where you are with your good heart and kind soul intact. Don’t let anyone take that from you. As someone who has walked a similar path to the one you are embarking on, I am here in hopes that what I’ve come to know may serve as insight for you. I’m not any more powerful or important than you are. I’m not a level above you, nor am I suggesting that I can offer you any information or insight that you alone aren’t capable of acquiring. I would only like, as another Starseed amongst many, to share a few answers now that you have acknowledged who and what you are.

Perhaps you have been led to this article for a reason. And that reason may very well be that you, like me, are dying to know what kind of Starseed you are exactly. What planet or star system did you originate from? I definitely can’t answer that for you, but since I don’t believe in coincidences, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that you’re probably connected to a star system of the alien race known as the Nordics. Nordic aliens can be from several star systems and galaxies. They’re called Nordics because they are known to have the physical features that resemble the Nordic-Scandinavian humans that exist on Earth. Usually tall and slender with light-colored skin, eyes, and hair, they come from a number of different planets and star systems, including Pleiades, Arcturus, and Andromeda. They usually exist in higher dimensions, or densities, anywhere from the 5th to the 12th.

Many people claim to be in contact with some of these humanoid aliens through different means, but most commonly through channeled messages. Others who have experienced physical contact with these aliens have described them as having round spaceships, wearing robes, and speaking telepathically. They are said to be protectors of humanity, and many believe they are doing their part to aid humanity in breaking down the Saturn/Moon Matrix that enslaves us by controlling our perception and holding our consciousness hostage. So that other alien races, like the Annunaki and Reptilians, can no longer manipulate us and harvest low-consciousness, fear-based energies off of us like batteries. It is said that the Nordic aliens are the most genetically and physically similar to humans. Many ancient societies, including Native American tribes, like the Hopi, believe that such aliens reside not only in other densities like the 5D outside of Earth’s atmosphere but inside. What’s referred to as the “Hollow Earth.”

In the Hopi Native American tribe wisdom teachings, there are references to gods from the depths of space who created nine universes and to the polar shifts destroying the world when human evolution went astray. The Goddess Spider-woman led selected humans to live underground with alien-like ant people (possibly the Mantid, Nordic, and other races) until the cataclysm subsided. Through meditation and divination, I have found that the Nordic inner earth alien race resonates with me the most. If you feel drawn to star systems known to be home to such extraterrestrial races, you may very well be a Starseed, a Nordic alien who’s chosen to incarnate on Earth to help humanity in the 5D ascension as a foot soldier. Doing the work necessary to help wake up the rest of humanity trapped in a prison planet that keeps their souls in what is commonly known as the Reincarnation Loop.

If you feel intuitively drawn to this specific race of aliens, you may further explore the possibility that you are a Nordic alien starseed by having to explore the details of your birth chart. Also, activities such as grounding, sunbathing, and using meditation sounds of Native American and Celtic musical instruments, chants, and mantras. There is so much to explore regarding the Nordic alien races, and if you feel any sort of connection to Nordic or Native American culture, it may be because you are, in fact, a Nordic alien from outer space.
