Be thankful for closed doors,
Detours,
And everything that falls apart because each one of your biggest inconveniences have protected you from paths and places that were not meant for you.
Life is all about perception.
Welcome to Coached by Nikki Dyer.
Start by settling into a comfortable position.
Allow your spine to lengthen with a sense of ease.
Close your eyes and turn your attention inward.
Relax your face,
Your jaw,
Your neck and shoulders all as you take in long deep breaths.
To help you center your mind and calm your body,
On each inhale feel your body expanding and on the exhale feel your body softening and start to feel your breath as it settles into a natural rhythm.
Taking note of how each breath cycle has a beginning,
A middle,
And an end.
How each breath flows one after another in a never-ending cycle.
Feeling into how your heart rate has slowed,
How your body is creating space for new insights and clarity to come in.
Clarity about things in your life that you may be overlooking.
It's easy to be happy when we are getting our way.
When the things we want are materializing and everything is coming up roses.
We feel gratitude so long as the doors we want open for us and the streak of luck keeps coming our way.
But rarely are we encouraged to find any good in the nose.
We exhibit disappointment in the opportunities we lose and we rarely see any reason to be grateful for the doors that close in our faces along the way.
We view these as rough patches and finding a gift in them is something we avoid.
I am here to tell you to be equally grateful for the doors that never opened.
To be thankful when a dream you desire does not come true in the way you expected it to.
Because sometimes the universe has something bigger planned for us.
Something that shows us a higher path or a better possibility.
Something that lines us up differently than we could have expected.
I have come to understand that the universe will open doors but she will also close doors not meant for us to keep us on our path.
We often lack the patience to sit through the discomfort of not knowing everything.
And this lack of patience,
It causes a great deal of anxiety and disappointment in life.
But if a door is closed,
It is because it is a door not meant for you.
Surrender to the concept of not needing an explanation or to know why.
Because the universe always answers our prayers in one of three ways.
Yes,
Because it is your time.
Because you deserve more.
Or not yet,
Because there is something even bigger waiting for you.
This does not mean you abandon your dreams.
It just means you stay open to the possibilities and learn to recognize the signs and directions presented to you on the way.
I want you to take the next 60 seconds to sit quietly in your mind and recite the following in your own voice.
I deserve.
I allow.
I receive.
As you come back to our shared space,
I want you to recognize which one you struggle with the most.
I deserve.
I allow.
I receive.
And question why?
What about it feels so foreign to you?
Trust the process.
Trust that sometimes things really do fall apart.
To make way for bigger things and something better is always on its way.
I am so proud of you.
