When we are striving to do something better, in a different truth, we are also struggling to change what has been a cycle into an improved pattern. Those words, striving and struggling, give the impression that they are not together but they are actually synonymous with each other; in other words they are together. How you view those expressions through your personal emotional definition of each has the ability to help you believe that you are impossible or I’m possible especially when faced with adversity. Do you think that you are striving towards what you hope for or do you feel that you are struggling to get there? The mind and the heart are contrasting in that in the first, knowledge provides you with some sort of an idea that leads towards a goal while the second is simultaneously providing a similar or different sentiment through your emotions. Think about that messy room that you are aware of is in need of being cleaned up but you are feeling overwhelmed and thus just can’t seem to start. Or what if you were to change out the words messy room with something else that is also in need of being dealt with but you just can’t seem to step towards going through? That conflict between what we think and what we feel even influences the cycle of enabling within ourselves as well as with others. After all, it has always been easy enough to facilitate the things that we don’t actually want by believing that the mind and the heart are together when they are actually most often not together; or in conflict. It then can be simple enough to raise a little hell by changing our understanding of small things, like words, that surprisingly can carry the weight of the world regardless of what our minds know. Think then about how you have the knowledge of what steps are needed in order to be sober. Now in this perfect moment turn around and raise a little hell by feeling those emotions that are also located there. Is fear and or courage living in that place as well? Which part of you is encouraging you to believe that you are striving or struggling? In a life that is so very heavell there will always be messes, “f” moments and pain but its what you say and listen to that matters. I am going to wait right here while you raise a little hell by making the small change of being all right with every part of you; even the ones you don’t want.
On Tuesday, September 29th Heavell will be participating with @HugTrain @hugtrainusa in their zoom meetings as they strive towards their evolving vision for their future. We are excited to be included in the beginning of their Small Change.
“If the pandemic has taught us nothing else, it’s made one thing very clear: every individual has the power to change the world. We see that in the way that the virus has spread but also in the process that mutual aid is becoming something normal and easily accessible. Here we see how the smallest thing can make a huge difference to someone who needs it. Now that hugging and travel are both greatly discouraged Hug Train, the anti-loneliness movement which honored Ryan of Heavell in their most recent Hug Tour, has made some decisions about how it will carry on with it’s mission to show people just how powerful they are through small actions. They will reveal their vision for the future on September 29, 2020. It’s all very exciting. If you like, please bring a story of a small change that has made a big difference for you. I look forward to seeing you there! Feel free to invite a friend or two as well.” Arie Moyal, Founder of Hug Train
