This boy - he is the epitome of Joy and Enthusiasm. He doesn’t allow my mood or pain (he ran into the corner of a bench w his paw) or the weather or the other animals around him to change him or his nature.

Which, full discloser, I don’t always welcome because sometimes I come into the room with distraction and frustration and busyness filling my mind.

He doesn’t adjust himself to fit my moods.

I can choose to stay near him or move myself (or him) to another location.

It’s not his job to dim his light to fit in.

It’s my job to own my own feelings and care for me in my choices.

I am the adult here .

When I am present and peaceful in my body, his antics flow around me and I can easily govern my space and direct him to his.

When I have disassociated from my feeling world, then Milo’s antics serve to wake me up, get back in my body, and tend to my feelings with compassion and care.

I am reminded when I feel irritated by the beings or circumstances in my environment, it’s likely I have disassociated feelings looking for an opportunity to be seen and heard by me and reintegrated into me.

Irritation, frustration, and anger become signals for me I have given my power away in some area, squelched me into a box somewhere, and left my body to the whims of an outside influence.

Once I become aware I can make my new choice, pause and really listen to what is happening within my inner world, reclaim my power to love and care for me, and then teach my world how to honor and support me.

This is my path to living in my sovereignty and consciously choosing consciousness and conscious creation moment to moment to moment.
