You Are Not Your Problems!

By Margie Ulbrick Leave a Comment

It seems obvious and yet we so easily forget. Seemingly bad things happen in our lives, our lives can seem very messy and sometimes quite chaotic. However, no matter what is going on, we often forget that circumstances alter and everything passes. So, wouldn’t it be great to be able to connect into a wider sense that everything will turn out even in the midst of the stresses of daily living? Well, it is possible!

By remembering the very small phrase above, you are not your problems, you can see things as being transient and you can recognise that while parts of you feel overwhelmed, sad, angry, ashamed, betrayed or any manner of other feelings, there is always a part of you to which you have access, that feels alive and spacious and grounded; in short, that is happy just to be, regardless of external factors.

For we are made up of many parts and living beings in process that we are, are also capable of many feelings simultaneously. We can always connect with something larger than what we immediately feel or sense if we know how! The trick is to acknowledge and accept in all honesty, all of the parts that make us unique, but to know that none of these need to define us.

So, take a deep breath and sense into what is larger than your immediate concerns, what is always and forever present, the grounded presence of being. By connecting in with this sense we can experience a connection that is spiritual, timeless, and healing. We can feel a sense of gratitude no matter what is going on. We can shift our perspective ever so slightly and that one small shift may be enough to take us forward into the next step of our lives and to create a new and rich experience.

For assistance in connecting to a deeper part of yourself or for assistance in any relationship issues or matters connected to developing a stronger sense of what is possible in your life, please contact me for a free 10 minute consultation on 0403 814 477 to discuss my Melbourne relationship counselling services.
