Week No. 06 — Introduction

Lent 2023 | Day 08 | Wednesday, March 29

☝️ This is connected to the previous lesson, as well, because when I feel like I'm slow to create, I also feel like I'm letting my fans, followers and supporters down. When I give in to that feeling, I scramble. I burn myself out trying to do more, share more, tease more, promise more... but all that happens is that I burn myself out, overpromise, underdeliver and spiral further into a shame-cycle wherein I feel like I'm not good enough.

This reminds me that I am loved as I am. That I can acknowledge my shortcomings without being crushed by them, and that patient practice during the slow process that has been my creative work is what has ultimately been sustaining, anyway — not loud flash-bangs and content for content's sake.

  Welcome, welcome, welcome.
  I welcome everything that comes to me today
  because I know it is for my healing.

  I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, situations, and conditions.

  I let go of my desire for power and control.

  I let go of my desire for affection, esteem, approval and pleasure.

  I let go of my desire for survival and security.

  I let go of my desire to change any situation, condition, person or myself.

  I open to the love and presence of God and God’s action within.

  Amen.
