Mind Reset - The Two Sequence
The angel number 222 represents “We are right where we are supposed to be for this moment.”
Happy Twosday!
Technically Wednesday, but since it’s 2/2/2022 I figured two was appropriate. It’s funny, I’ve been feeling a building wave of determination inside me every morning for the past week or two now. Yesterday was February 1st, the halfway point between Winter and Spring. And now as we move into the 2nd month of the year and the shortest month as well, I want to take the time to appreciate the significant growth I’ve made in my life journey so far this year.
January ended on a bit of a rough note for me, even vaxxed and barely leaving the house, I got Covid. The first day after testing positive I was telling myself I’d be fine, I’d just be home doing everything I needed to do (like that's different from the past 3 pandemic years). And then even after all that commanding, I couldn’t help but lay in bed or a hot bath miserable, achy, and unable to eat for a whole week. My boyfriend was there for me thankfully, helping me out as much as he could.
Nonetheless, I still came out on the other side of the illness and beat myself up for rescheduling content creation days and slacking on house work. I also found my self esteem a bit shaken as I lost some of the weight I’d been fighting furiously to gain and maintain for the last 6 months. Feeling like an exhausted, unattractive, and very chapped-lipped version of myself, I crawled back into bed to hide.
In my head I heard, “The beginning of the year and already you’re a failure. You’re behind. You won’t do it.”
As I listened to the negative words and began to take it in, I stopped and remembered something I first learned a long time ago.
I am not my thoughts, or my situation. I am the reaction to it.
Just because I have thoughts or feelings, doesn’t mean that I am those thoughts or feelings.
I am able to observe and hear these thoughts - but I don’t have to do anything with them.
In fact, it’s essential to check in with yourself and hear what’s floating around in your head or heart. This may be something you need to hear, or you need to heal. Stop and hear the light and the dark, the positive and the negative thoughts.
Take a moment and think about why certain thoughts or feelings are popping up or hanging around.
What could be causing it?
What can you do to help it?
What can you do to heal it?
For example, I want to stay consistent with my personal goals and art. If I’m hearing a voice tell me I’m a failure, I can stop and see that I’m NOT a failure. I’m afraid OF failing. I’m afraid of letting myself down and being too scared to put myself out there.
This knowledge has given me the ability to practice the control I have over my mentality. It’s my brain, heart, soul, thoughts, and dreams inside MY body, inside MY reality. Much like the control you hold over an avatar in a video game, your mental and emotional control is the same. You just have to recognize and actively nurture it.
So I hushed that negative, intrusive thought. And told myself:
What you are is human, and you get tired or weary. You need breaks to recharge and love yourself. You need time to be with your thoughts and soul. Resting is not failing. Resting is in fact growth.
Me to Me
After this talk with myself - I promise I’m not totally cray - I took the time to finish recovering, and not feel bad about it. So what if it's February and I’ve only been to the gym once? So what if my schedule is getting pushed back a bit?
Life shall go on and so will I.
Now I’m feeling better finally, and getting ready to dive back in.
The fact that I just happened to wake up on 2/2/22 ready to do so tells me everything is on track and ready to go.
The angel number 222 represents “We are right where we are supposed to be for this moment.”
Basically, once upon a time, everything is going to be fine, right? Right.
Everything happens for a reason I have to believe. There is a path you have to find for yourself through the events and challenges life throws at you. It may be the road less traveled or the main road, but you have to recognize that the path you seek is yours. Find what feels right, what shows you've been headed here your whole life.
Find the path that will take you to where you want to be: happy.
Also there will be a few more interesting Twosdays coming up this month as the 222 days sequence ends for this century! The sequence ends on February 22, 2022 after running for two decades. This month of this year we have 3, right before the end in what will probably be our lifetime.
February 2, 2022, and February 20, 2022, and February 22, 2022.
If you wish to take advantage of the early new year and these significant astronomical days, I recommend journaling, meditating, and investing some time in self-care on those days to take a rest and see what your soul is needing.
Happy 222s Day. Live like art - beautifully!
