Day #26 Reflection

July 5, 2025 8:25pm

Dear Reader,

I continue to purge, while also finding clarity on my path moving forward. I have to say, it’s been so interesting to get to know myself more. As frustrating as it has been to see what I’ve done from survival mode, I am still appreciative for the experience. I understand that we do what we must do in order to survive. It’s not the surviving part that’s the hardest. It’s knowing when to stop. It’s knowing when survival mode isn’t necessary anymore. It’s learning to live with a nervous system that is balanced. That has been the hardest part of this whole journey. Survival mode is something I know how to do. It’s being in balanced mode that is unfamiliar. It makes sense as to why people choose to stay the same, even when it hurts them. The familiar is so much easier.

Nonetheless, I had a great conversation with my partner about what I plan to do moving forward. I came forth with the truth about putting down old dreams to pick up new ones. I was honest about how I am finally seeing myself for the first time and I am ready to live in that frequency. The true frequency of me. For the first time in my life. And I was received openly and lovingly, which helped me to align even more with this new journey.

I am still yet, just cultivating the energy and learning how to continue building the momentum. I am learning how not to force myself to close this gap and I am learning to trust whatever presents itself to me. I am learning to be more light-hearted and play with the universe. I am learning what it is to be out of survival mode and in a mode of living a passionate and fulfilling life.

I feel even lighter after having this conversation with my partner. And, I am feeling more hopeful because now, we are on the same page. Now, it feels like an adventure with the people that I love, which is ultimately what I have always wanted. I know intuitively, the next steps will be continuing to cultivate the energy and I have already been inspired to a few practical action steps to take from here, as well. And I know that taking these practical action steps will help to ground the energy toward’s my new journey.

I am writing this post for those who are on the cusp of taking a new journey. I pray you find the inspiration to begin cultivating the energy of this new journey. I pray you find clarity on everything you want to feel and experience on this new journey. I pray that you find the courage necessary to let go of what doesn’t serve you, in order to make space for what does. I pray that you remain strong in the face of criticism in this vulnerable time. I pray that in this transition you love yourself more honestly and deeply. Here, is where you begin creating a life that is filled with the joy you’ve been requesting.

Till the morning.

Love Always,

Ariel
