Letter’s of Surrender: 90 Day’s of Living An Intuitive Life
Sunday, August 31, 2025 7:55pm
Dear Reader,
I have been liking the question, “What do I need to hear today?” Yesterday, I did a post that answered that exact question. I have realized that I am so willing to offer guidance for other’s, without realizing that alot of the thought’s and guidance are for me, first. It’s been interesting to observe my own behavior and realize that I always do for other’s before myself. Today, for example, my daughter was with me, so we went to the beach together. It is something we ALWAYS do. While we were swimming, I couldn’t help but think, I really love being in the ocean. There’s just something about moving through the water and flowing with the tide that feel’s so good. I can’t even quite put that feeling into words, either. It’s just something that is very unique and for me, only experienced when I’m in the water. And yet, I only go when I’m with my daughter or, if my family wants to go. I do love when we’re doing it together, but I also recognize it is something I love doing alone, as well. As we were swimming today, I thought, I will come here with my daughter, but I don’t make the same effort to bring myself here. Even though, I know how great it always feel’s. Not just during, but after, too. This sense of calm seem’s to follow me the rest of the day. There were a few example’s today that kept bringing me around to he fact that, I will do for other’s before I consider myself. And that’s definitely something I need to be more mindful about.
So, with that in mind, what do I need to hear today?
This is your reminder to continue practicing presence. It is only in the present, do you begin to realize all the thing’s that you actually enjoy. It is only in the present, that you realize all the thing’s you don’t genuinely enjoy. Many times, we are influenced by other’s and believe that what they enjoy, you do, too. The only way to truly align with genuine joy, is to become present and choose more of the thing’s that bring you to life. As you notice more about yourself, do your best not to become judgmental. This is not categorizing your action’s into right and wrong. This is a chance to observe and gather knowledge about yourself, so that you can decide what you want to experience more of. This may not seem or feel like important work, but it is. It is crucial to experiencing a fulfilling life. Keep choosing yourself.
Till tomorrow.
Love always,
Ariel
