Admit your Shit

Hi, my name is Marisa. This is who I am: a wife, a mother of two, a go-getter who doesn't always finish what I start, a big thinker with a sharp tongue and somewhat of short fuse, who sometimes gets stuck in fear and forgets the beauty of letting go, to simply be.
Now, this is who I want to be: a grateful wife, a patient mother, performing every task in a 360 degree sequence, someone who talks less and listens better, thinks high like a kiddie kite, not a hot air balloon, and has consistent trust in the Universe to live fear-free.
If you can recognize your faults and take action to delete what consumes you - welcome to Spirit Detox! Gossip, resentment, anger, bitterness, envy, guilt, fear all eat away at the Spirit. Often times, we manifest crap solely based on our perception. Perception can be quite the devil. If you want to detox your Self, it first requires defining who you are. Once you can admit your s***, that's when the detox begins.
We know when we're being our best Self - it's when we lead with the heart! There's nothing wrong with the desire to be your best Self more often. Accepting your faults is magnificent, yet wanting to be a more loving you is even more magnificent. You see I know when I'm being my best Self and I definitely know when I'm being the rest. When I'm at my worst (usually when I'm angry) I try to imagine (6/10 times) what it's like to be on the other side. Hmm, not my finest hour! Most of the time, my explosions have nothing to do with the actual situation. That's when I know I'm holding on to too much s*** and it's time for Spirit detox!
If you feel anger is holding you back from being more loving, look into your past to see where it started. Forgive who brought you that emotion and let go. If you feel suffocated by gossip and envy, may be it's time for a friend detox. If you have a friend loaded with toxic crap that brings you down, erase them immediately. Start by shortening your convos by refraining from contributing further. Eventually, you won't be on their speed dial anymore because your not fuelling their fire. If you're stuck in fear, you need to take small steps to overcome your lack of trust. And if your bitter or resentful towards someone, ask yourself if you built this false story in your head, called "The Deception of Perception"! Oh yes, 90% of the time, we're blaming others for what we perceive to be the truth. Reality is, we're being deceived by false illusions of what's really real.
We can all use a serious Spirit cleanse every now and then. Enter with great love and kindness though. Shedding your old ways doesn't happen overnight. The beauty of a Spirit detox is simply being mindful of what's dulling your light and sending it off - Adieu!
