Sometimes all that we want is to master ourselves. I remember back in the day, how much energy I wasted on unproductive things.

The fear of the unknown paralyzed me and didn’t allow me to grow. Then I realized after many years that I was living fear-based.

Fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of not making it. The struggle to be someone when people around me were pointing so many fingers and discouraging me from thriving was huge.

Coming from a challenging childhood home, made me grow in the need to defend myself.

I always thought people wanted to take advantage of me, but afterward, when I overcame my feelings of insecurities, I understood that all this was the inner little child inside me who was hurt and scared of so many things that she hadn’t processed then.

As I grew in spirituality and consciousness expansion, I understood the best part of it: The opportunity all those traumas brought to me to heal.

The beauty of all that was that the more insights I had, the more I understood why I was reacting to situations the way I did.

The more insights I had, the more motivation I got to walk the healing path because the motivation was that finally I was healing.

I started to notice that what some people told me had not the same impact as before. Situations didn’t affect me the same way and this was healing.

I found out then that I am the master of my life like William Ernest Henley writes in the poem Invictus.

Along this path, I learned 3 great healing strategies that helped me master my life:

Avoidance

As soon as I started to avoid everything that didn’t resonate with my values and energy, I noticed that my time was more productive and I had more time to do what was important to my growth.

I let it go, allowed people to be people and I was me, and boy what a relief. To not be in control all the time and allowing people to show me exactly who they are was a smart move.

I have saved a lot of energy and understood that the Universe was telling me: “This person is exactly this way and this energy doesn’t resonate with yours. Let it be”.

Mastering Avoidance: Take a look at your life and avoid everything that doesn’t resonate with you.

Faith

You know what they say “Faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26)

With the filter of avoidance, I already had acquired in my life the path was very clear to me, so I could focus on what was important and was more grateful for everything I already had.

Having gratitude by my side, my strength and faith increased because now I was focusing on the positive outcomes and on the situations that were happening for me to grow.

Even though the results were not the ones I expected, it was okay because I learned with my faith to go with the flow and focus on the good that already took place in my life.

Mastering Faith: Believe in your essence, believe that what you want also wants you, and go for it.

Reorganizing

After the filter of avoidance was sharp, gratitude backing me up and the faith in place, now was the time to reorganize and reframe everything that was stagnating my life.

Here, all the unfinished projects were taken out of the forgotten shelf of my mind and brought to life again. I understood that when we start something and don't finish it, the energy is still active and the energy not put into action is lost energy.

By finishing things we start, we train our subconscious mind to always take action toward finishing what we start.

Mastering Reorganization: Finish what you have started and if you have many things to finish, start one at a time.

Final Thoughts

Regardless of your background, you will always have opportunities to heal.

By acknowledging what we need to change and taking daily steps toward those changes we get more motivated even if the changes might hurt because deep inside we feel that we are growing.

Faith without work equals no result and that’s why you should never give up on your dream and who you are in your essence.

Gratitude is a great tool when things are pretty difficult because it redirects our focus toward what is working at the moment.

By finishing what we started, we train ourselves to be stronger in adversities and move forward no matter what shows up in our lives.

We get to build resilience and be the master of our fate and the captain of our soul.
