Sweet Surrender 8/15

The fact that today went smoothly, actually started with yesterday's preparation. Or as one of my teacher's call it "divinely guided action." We are taught to take steps that are divinely guided by God, so that we feel good. Well, I had been noticing that I had been feeling rushed lately. Mostly, when I am required to wake up early for a work meeting. However, these meetings are important and I cannot just skip them because waking up early and/or rushing feels bad. One of the TFAS students posted a video on how she was learning that structure and scheduling when it's divinely guided by God, can actually feel really good. This inspired me to prep for breakfast the night before the early morning meeting. It didn't take much. Basically I brewed coffee the night prior and refrigerated it. Then I cut up my strawberries for my granola bowl. But it made a world of difference because I didn't feel rushed the next morning. I also didn't have to do anything for breakfast but mix a few ingredients together. I realize I sometimes procrastinate getting out of bed because I don't want to prep or cook breakfast. And I was not only scheduled to make it to the meeting on time, but 15 minutes early.

While I was driving to the meeting; I realized I was still hungry. I was really craving a donut. There was a dunkin donuts on the way but I didn't want to risk running late. Parking is hard to find at my final destination and the meeting was held upstairs. So I didn't stop for that donut, and was a little disappointed. But lo and behold, one of the workers we were meeting with brought in carrot cake! There was God's presence in her when she shared food with us. Full disclosure, her son was just married and she didn't want it all in her house anymore. But still! My meeting was at 9:30am. A client of mine was attending a work program in the same building. Her meeting started at 10am. I was scheduled to meet with her after, but she had no idea how long the work program was running. My meeting would be an hour at most. My concern is that I had a group coaching session scheduled at 1pm today, and a half hour commute home. I really wanted to eat lunch in between, and I really did not want to do another coaching session in my car. Since the session is live on a website, it was definitely possible. But I had done this before and the car gets very hot. I didn't have my headphones today and it's near impossible to hear over the car's AC. It's just not very comfortable. There was one thing left to do. I had to surrender this to God. And accept whatever the outcome was. To my relief, her work program ended at 11am. Plenty of time to get everything accomplished, and then some.

I was very grateful to be involved in today's group coaching session. I had so many different experiences I wanted to heal through, that I wasn't sure what I should bring up to work on. There are two other students in the session with me. The first student to share ended up having experiences to heal that were similar to mine. I healed right along with her! It was a huge relief to have two things discussed, and healed that were triggering me. I spoke after her and my next experience flowed seamlessly from the last. I worked on three different upsets in one coaching session without actually occupying the time of 3 upsets on my own. And that's God. God had me in that session with these people at this time for that reason. And here I thought I wasn't going to make the session, or that I'd be late. The session was so healing and I felt a great emotional release and peace. I started paperwork for my job after that. Normally it would have seemed like a burden. But the paperwork just flowed effortlessly.

I went to a meditation class after that. I was on time to that as well. I have been rushing to yoga classes all week, but not today. It felt really peaceful. There was one small issue in class regarding the music. The instructor's phone was not synching up with the studio's speakers. She said she never usually has this issue. She became very frustrated and tried different solutions for 5 or 10 minutes. She ten offered to tell the owner, and all of a sudden it connected. I told her it's because she "gave up," although I really meant that she surrendered. It was an hour long meditation class, so I was able to rest and do inner work at the same time. Everything today felt divinely timed and guided. After feeling rushed all week, I am very grateful for today's turn of events. Light and Love <3
