A
saying that I love is: “the pain will push you until the vision pulls you.”
Here's a great question one of you sent in.
[to hear an audio version of this newsletter, click here]
Q: Kathryn, I've finally released my ex, but now, I have new
pain. I am so lonely that sometimes -- even though I'm done with him and see he
was not good for me -- I'm tempted to call him just for companionship. And all
my rejection-thinking is arising, too.
Ugh! Am I just so used to pain that I keep recreating it? I
couldn't sleep at all last night. Please help.
A: This pain is fake. And we need to get rid of it.
I know it feels real, so why do I say that?
It's because it's based on false premises.
In
this case, it means that you're being pushed by the pain -- some past pain.
The
reason I call it FAKE is because it's assuming that you will always be in this
place -- that vacuum that happens before love comes.
But
do you know how many people I've shepherded through this time into the arms of
their One? Thousands!
And
every one of them wished they had known what was ahead so they could skip the
useless pain and be getting ready for the lifechanging moment when love walked
in the door.
You
have set a powerful intention to follow your dream of a soulmate, and this
intention is at work on your behalf,
even when you’re not thinking about it.
If you can refocus on that, then you'll be pulled by your
vision instead of pushed by this needless pain.
Pain is an indicator that something needs to shift for you.
Sometimes it’s something that you’re grieving, which is legitimate pain, but
often the hurt is caused or exacerbated by you.
How do you cause your own pain?
• By holding on to a person who is not yours and being unwilling to move
on
• By accepting a belief
about yourself of about love that is limiting
• By letting people into
your life who are hurtful to you and not supportive
• By taking things
personally that aren’t (like “rejection,” which I don’t believe in)
• By having a narrow
vision that is fear-based instead of full of the faith that love is still in
the works for you.
The quickest way to relieve your
pain is to examine how you’ve created it and do something differently.
Also, elevate yourself back to your vision for your life,
dwelling on that instead. As you do so, there is no pain that won’t fade, no situation
that’s irretrievable. A pain-free life becomes real.
I'm blessing you for carrying on toward your vision. It will happen sooner than you can imagine!
