Anyone else feeling disconnected from themselves?
I've been feeling that way for over a week now, like I'm not at home with myself. Sometimes it doesn't bother me much, but other times, like now, it really does. While I am normally connected with my spiritual self, while also having my feet planted firmly on the ground, right now, I am struggling with both.

It's as if I'm somehow disembodied or something. I think it's because I'm on my way out of the life I currently live, and have not yet arrived at the life I am moving toward. See, I told my husband I wanted a divorce. He does not want one, but I do. Won't go into the reasons here, though a couple of you know why.

If anyone has any suggestions for how to get through this period of time, ideas about how I can help myself feel my feet on the ground a bit more than I do now, I'd appreciate them very much. Of course, I also know that may be this is just a necessary part of the transition, and I may just need to ride it out.

Ah, life. It sure can be interesting, can't it?

1. YES!!
I've been puttering along, doing very well assimilating my new realizations into my life and manifesting/vibrating positively; and all of a sudden a few days ago; I went to look for my certainty and it wasn't there.
I've been needlessly obsessing over money when I know very well I shouldn't do that if I want to have any.
Not sure exactly why this is happening; but I am going to put as much positive in my space as I can. Going to go listen to a couple of recordings to refresh and hopefully bring me back to center.

Must be some energy stuff going on...

4. I'm having a hard time harnessing my mind, it seems.
Like you, I've been obsessing over money, even though I know that's not what I should be doing. And I can't seem to focus long enough to do affirmations, meditations, visualizations, etc. I feel like a helium baloon, drifting aimlessly about.

Hopefully, this too shall pass, and SOON.

2. I'm not personally feeling this way right now, SG, but I will send you...
light and energy to help get you through this.

Congratulations on taking the next step in manifesting the life that you want. I'm sure that this is a tough situation for your husband, so I will keep him in my thoughts in the hope that he will be able to find peace and ultimately realize that the action that you're taking is what's best long-term for both of you.

:hug:

5. Not personally, but I am sending you all my light and love, SG
:hug: :loveya:

Wow, you told him, huh? Good for you, gf! That took a LOT of courage and strength. :thumbsup:

For me, what keeps me grounded are the basics: getting regular exercise, eating well, getting enough sleep, stuff like that.

I also really strive to keep a positive perspective, which can be particularly challenging when difficult circumstances present themselves.

It's in those difficult times that we have to remember these wise words:

THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS......it's all part of the ebb and flow of our lives. You WILL feel connected, once again. Have faith.
:hug:

8. Thank you, dearest Shine.
I have been reminding myself of that (this too shall pass) over the past couple of days, and it does help. Otherwise, I would end up feeling hopeless, and I don't want to get in that frame of mind.

:hug:
