Let's Not Be Too Hard On Ourselves

As we are walking along the paths of freedom and manifestation, while we absolutely need to learn to reclaim our minds, there is no need for us to work ourselves into exhaustion witnessing, observing our minds and turning our attention away from what we don’t wish to experience toward what we wish to experience.

We absolutely need to do this work, but we do not need to do it 24/7, but there is another way to move ourselves into the higher vibrations that we are wise to also lean into.

Join me as we explore what it means to celebrate our way through life and how that will serve us in a beautiful way as we continue to grow, unfold, and expand.

Blessings and welcome back to the path to freedom this beautiful journey that we are on what if we get to set ourselves free I mean that's kind of a given considering the name that I have called for this beautiful path we can call it path to freedom we can call it the path of awakening we can call it the path of enlightenment we can call it whatever we want to call it but it is the path where we get to take our power back where we get to take our lives back when we get to take our minds back so that we may be in ever-expanding peace and love and joy and harmony so that we may be ever more soaring and shining and glowing expressions of the one mind one and only loving presence the benevolent loving presence that is all there is there are so many different ways that we can articulate and describe this path but it is it is about liberation it is about freedom it is about breaking free from who we used to be so that who we are becoming may emerge over and over and over again so this is not a one-and- done thing this is not something that happens once but this is something that we do over and over and over again and this actually leads us into the topic of this particular message which is let's not be too hard on ourselves but before we move into that let me just say that my name is Daniel Roqueo and that I'm very grateful and honored that you are choosing to join me that you're choosing to tune in that you're willing to do this work that you're willing to walk this path that you're saying yes to allowing for eternal expansion or eternal unfolding that you're saying yes to the next version of who and what you are to emerge over and over and over again it takes work it takes practice it takes us cultivating a new way of life it takes us releasing letting go of that which no longer serves but it is worth it it is worth it so the topic for today is let's not be too hard on ourselves and I was recently asked by a student in one of my courses they were sharing their experience it was one of the manifestation courses and they were sharing their experience of doing this work and they were saying that they were getting exhausted and they were beginning to feel depleted of constantly and continuously needing to monitor observe and witness their minds of continuously turning their attention toward the good that they wish to experience to continuously staying in a high vibration to staying in an expanded consciousness and while we absolutely need to do this work we want to learn to master the auto-manifestation if we want to allow for the good that we wish to experience to flow into our lives with every expanding ease and grace this is the work that we're being called to do we need to reclaim ownership of our minds we need to take back our minds take back the power of our minds or take back power over our minds and our attention so that we more and more and more turn our attention toward think talk feel about what we wish to experience as opposed to what we don't wish to experience however we do not want to fall into the trap of the spiritual ego which absolutely wants us to buy into such high standards to set such high expectations on ourselves that we absolutely should have come farther than this I mean I've been on this path for for this many weeks now and I should have learned this by now I should know this by now I've been on this path for four years I absolutely should have come farther than this these are all ploys of the ego whenever we beat ourselves up whenever we berate ourselves whenever we judge ourselves that's the ego it doesn't serve walking this path it doesn't serve us feeling good it doesn't serve us being of any heavenly good here on this planet so we absolutely always want to to the best of our ability be loving and kind towards ourselves and as I responded to this individual in that beautiful question that they had and the question that they asked really was am I missing something and my in my response I shared that this absolutely is about us being mindful being in a witnessing and observing mode as to where our attention goes as to what content is flowing through our minds but just as much this is about us celebrating our way through life this is about us as Jesus said be of good cheer for I have overcome the world he didn't mean to deny he didn't mean to pretend to be happy for not but what he was talking about is that we can choose to be in peace we can choose to engage in activities that bring smiles to our faces that brings us joy that makes us laugh when we are smiling when we are laughing we are in such a high vibration we are absolutely hanging out in the vibration and the frequencies of all is well when we are smiling when we are playing when we are dancing when we are celebrating when we are in appreciation we are wide open channels and conduits for the good whatever that good may be for all the good that we wish to experience to flow into our lives so we do not need to treat ourselves as slaves we do not need to constantly make our minds go where we want it to go we can just sort of invite it into playing by engaging in activities that the bring us joy it may be dancing it may be playing it may be painting or singing so that we don't wear ourselves out because it's and I absolutely know this from my own personal experience and I'm still getting hijacked by these thought forms that I need to make it happen not only the manifestation not only that I need to make the manifestation happen but I need to make my mind go wherever I want it to go or wherever it needs to go to allow for the manifestation to happen and that is hard work that is hard work but there is another way absolutely we do need to treat our minds we absolutely need to become aware of the small and limited thought forms the sense of separation the stories the beliefs about not being enough not having enough lack scarcity about impossibilities absolutely we need to become aware of these so that we can begin to treat our minds so that we can begin to release and let these go but being in that witnessing and observing mode 24-7 it doesn't serve us I don't know what we will become or would become if we hung out in that space for 24 hours every day but life is for living if we look at nature nothing in nature is taking itself very seriously nothing in nature is admonishing itself because it didn't live up to its own expectations nothing in nature is working itself into exhaustion or burning itself out but all of nature is in such a beautiful state and space and place of rejoicing of celebrating of being fully here and now no concern with any future moment not ruminating over past moments but just being fully present here now which reminds me let's take a deep let's take a couple of deep conscious breaths to bring us back to have that moment of resetting of reclaiming our minds of coming back to the nowness of this so breathing in and releasing now the deep breath in and releasing and this is how we do it this is how we break free from those old thought patterns those old habitual ways of being and moving through life so when we're feeling exhausted by the mind when this feels too much we can just take that deep and conscious breath a couple of them and then we can ask how can I bring a smile to my face now how can I allow myself to be lifted up I don't have to lift myself up how can I give something else something outside of me some activities some other individual permission to lift myself up to lift me up I'm reminded of an individual named dr. Norman cousins I don't know if he's still alive or not but this magnificent being he was faced with some kind of disease that made his body become more more paralyzed so over a period of time he became less and less able to move his body his arms his legs even his head eventually and he went to see many doctors asking for help and they all said the same thing that is there's nothing we can do about this there's nothing we can do about this you're just gonna have to endure till the end of your days however he didn't buy into that he didn't buy into the prognosis he didn't buy into the diagnosis but he wanted help so he set out on a quest to allow for health wholeness and healing to happen and he began taking high doses of organic vitamin C if I remember it correctly and he began to laugh his way to help so what he would do is that he would every single day for a minimum of two hours he would sit himself in front of the TV in front of what's the I don't remember the show it was a comedy show and so for a minimum of two hours he would laugh at this show and lo and behold his body began to regain the ability to move until he was completely and fully healed until he had completely and fully recovered from a disease that a number of doctors had said couldn't be cured he left himself to help he didn't think about health he didn't train his mind to go in a certain direction he just allowed joy to well up in the manifestation the coagulation of the vibration of joy began to emerge into his life into his experience so we do not want to be too hard on ourselves we do not want to push ourselves there's no need for it and this is a reminder to myself just as much as anyone else out there this is a reminder to myself to more lean into celebrating my way through life to more lean into joy to more lean into rejoicing to more lean into gratitude Thanksgiving appreciation allowing a smile to play across my face more than I'm already doing because when we allow ourselves to be lifted up into the vibration of joy celebration playing having fun we are lifted out out of fears worries and doubts we're lifted out of the sense of lack scarcity separation we're not being enough not having enough we're lifted into the feeling tone that all is well and as the sacred laws can only reflect and mirror the predominant feeling tone the manifestation the demonstration of that feeling tone will begin to emerge and even before that even before the physical manifestation our experience of whatever it is that we're moving through will completely shift remember we own our experience we own our experience whatever our experience is it is the byproduct it is the result of our perception so as we move through life celebrating dancing our way through life that becomes our experience that life is joy filled that life is good that life is awesome that life is magnificent that life is wonderful the life is fun we want to be mindful that as we're celebrating our way through life that we're not doing it to get something that is coming from a sense of lack sense of scarcity sense of separation if we're doing something to get something it means that in essence we're saying that I don't have it whatever the good that I wish to experience it is not here it is missing it is absent it is somewhere else so we want to do it unconditionally we want to do it just for the sake of smiling we want to smile for the sake of smiling we want to laugh for the sake of laughing we want to play for the sake of playing we want to celebrate for the sake of celebration we want to dance for the sake of dancing not to get somewhere not to get something but as a way of being as a way of being let's take another deep breath in and releasing another deep breath in this is where we want to hang out and we don't have to force ourselves to be to find this space to climb into this space you can simply come back to the numbness in this moment allowing the joy that we are that is fully present that is the truth and the essence of who we are to well up from within and if we need to engage in some kind of activity to lure it forward to lure it forth that is all right we don't want to spiritually bypass what we're experiencing so we don't want to pretend that we're not experiencing whatever it is that we're experiencing we want to be aware of perhaps the fears the worries the doubts we want to embrace and allow them we want to witness and observe them listen to them and then we choose joy and then we choose joy then we choose celebration and when we fall which we will we always want to love ourselves up we want to get up and we want to begin again we do not want to be too hard on ourselves we do not want to fall prey to the notion that we need to do it on ourselves by ourselves on our own because we don't we absolutely need to participate but we are living in a friendly universe this benevolent loving presence is for us it is eternally for itself as we and it are one it means that it is for us so whenever we are in need of help we can absolutely just reach out say help and we will receive whatever is that we need to receive we need to receive it it is always given it is eternally given we need to receive it we need to accept it we need to get out of the way so that it may do its thing cool I love being on this path I love being on this path not saying that there that there aren't challenges not saying that I'm always enjoying the challenges the spaces that I'm moving through but I love being on this path and I love being in this space where I get to where we get to remind ourselves where we get to hang out in high-minded fellowship where we get to remind ourselves of what is true and what is real so that we may continuously soar shine glow so that we may continuously rise to higher levels of vibration continuously expand our consciousness hmm always good and always well thank you so so much for tuning in for participating as always until we meet again I absolutely bless bless bless our days and I bless bless bless our ways in the full knowing that all is well that something wonderful is happening and everything is working for our highest good with much love many blessings namaste

An excellent addendum to the manifestation course! Incidentally, Norman Cousins died in 1990. His book, Anatomy of an Illness, was a best seller. If I remember correctly, he used the Marx Brothers movies to aid in healing! Thank you, Daniel! Blessings!

Thank you for this, it's exactly what I needed to hear. It's giving me the strength to carry on with the journey I am on to free myself. I need to take notes of all the progress I have made and also accept the times I struggle isn't me going backwards it's me being human and it happens to everyone.
