Avery on Lesson Learning
“Working with Rosie felt so natural and at home. Her assessment was spot on to what I was feeling in that moment and really put things in perspective. I am grateful to have worked with her.”
- Avery, Virtual Healing Ceremony Testimonial
“When do we know when it’s a lesson we’re supposed to learn?” asked Avery.
The easiest way to identify our core lessons is this: when you notice that you keep experiencing the same situation repeatedly, that’s when you’ll know it’s a lesson.
You’re being asked to respond differently. To see things from a wider perspective. Ultimately, these situations are either about saying “yes” or “no” AND about what you are making your decisions based on (is it out of fear or scarcity?).
Saying yes could look like:
Going after that thing you’ve been wanting whether it’s applying for a new job or trying a new activity
Putting yourself first and making space for rest or creativity
Declaring your value because you know what you deserve to have in life
Saying no could look like:
Drawing a boundary to protect your energy or adjust access to you
Resisting the need to be conflict avoidant and having the hard talk saying what needs to be said or doing the hard thing that needs to be done
Claiming your worth and taking back your power because you trust there is something better that life has to offer
You may be in a position where you’ve already exercised an evolved response and yet the situations still come back around. A little annoying, right?
This would then be about your maturity and demonstrating that true, permanent change has taken place with your choices.
One could easily slip back into old habits and ways of thinking, which is completely understandable. But until that change is more stabilized and solidified, life will continually ask you to make conscious decisions that reflect your character transformation.
When you finally hit that climax of responding differently or choosing differently, it takes a lot of energy out of you, doesn’t it?
It was extremely uncomfortable when you had to do it, wasn’t it?
Until you can prove that you’re comfortable in embodying the lesson learned, you’ll always be irritated about this specific situation you constantly face.
When the situation no longer bothers you, and exercising a mature response becomes effortless, you’ll find that it simply doesn’t matter anymore if whether or not the lesson presents itself again…
