What Does Living In Duality Mean?
Do you say, I want to change my job, relationship or attitude but you really feel “I don’t deserve it”. Or, you say “I believe everything happens for a reason” but when an unexpected change or challenge comes up you fall back into an old pattern feeling “life is hard and nothing works out for me”.
Living in duality means you live some of the time in the 3 dimensional physical world leading with your thoughts of judgement, fear worry, doubt maybe trying to control things. And, then some of the time in the 5th dimension spiritual world leading with your energy of I trust the process of life and go with the flow. So sometimes emotionally feeling peace, ease, flow, acceptance, confidence, clarity, happiness etc.. and sometimes in doubt, negativity, resistance, indecisiveness, judgement or overwhelm. Everyone’s “sometimes” will vary. Maybe 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, 90/10, etc..
Years ago, I was about 50/50 and I realized I needed to be more in a positive mindset than negative in order to shift my life. I knew being calm, clear, decisive, free and in flow believing in myself and trusting my process always created more fulfillment and abundance for me.
But, I struggled with staying there.
It’s imperative to be there most of the time. Not all of the time because, let’s face it, that’s not realistic. But, most of the time! A positive mindset is great and so are positive affirmations but it can still bring in a feeling of lack or disbelief in what you are trying to create. So it takes more than just mindset to create change. The phrase fake it til you make it doesn’t apply here. That’s only a temporary band-aid. You have to do the inner work of letting go of stuck energy, old ways of doing things and become more grounded in your truth. Then the effect will naturally be a new, better lasting mindset! It becomes your new normal lifestyle.
The work I’ve done has helped me shift to about 80/20. This creates ease in my body and mind which then creates flow, creativity and new opportunities in my life.
How you ask?
Learning to understand your needs, values and healthy boundaries which keeps you grounded, secure and empowered. It also takes building trust and confidence in your beliefs and that the universe will support you when you are in true alignment with yourself.
May this lovingly serve you!
