August! Possible Spark For Personal Growth?
Hello brilliant being,
How are you?
I’m extremely excited to chat with you about this new month, August, and form a supportive view on what it holds if we know how to live it in the best possible way. Now you might say, “odd, I know how to live in August, I do it like I always do,” which was on my mind too until I channeled a deeper meaning of this marvelous month, one I had never thought of before.
So, with a bit of awe, utmost respect for this time of year, and an open mind for the wisdom nugget, I want to share with you the true meaning of August and the light it presents us with.
Here we go:
Meet August, a month with the powerful talent of offering us choices and initiating multiple meanings, holding us accountable to pick wisely!
Highlighting the truth that something - actually, make that everything - has multiple meanings, this month guides us to focus on creating a physical reality for ourselves that feels good, so we live fully and are in harmony with the universe by sharing ourselves at our best—and that it’s up to us to manage this fact.
So what are these August choices? What meanings do they hold, how does this month excel at holding us accountable, and what are the consequences of our choosing?
August is a true summer month—if this isn’t the case where you live, look at what seasonal meaning August has for you and adjust the word “summer” with your real season to make it fit.
And while July is also one of those true summer months, its quality is very different because in July what most people are thinking about is, “it’s summer,” and that is where they stop. It’s like when there is a red dot and it’s so truly red that the only way you can describe it is, “it’s red.”
But in August, even though it’s still summer, people only have one foot left in summer because the other has already stepped towards preparing for the changes laying ahead by thinking about - or acting on - how to get ready, getting it done, and what’s to come: start of school, work resuming, and so on, so forth.
The result being, people partially (a little bit in summer, a lot of it in prepping) leaving their presence in their NOW, shifting back into their autopilot-existence to get things done—turning around and placing the blame on August because stress entered the equation.
In the mean time, August stays steady in being what it is supposed to be; a month still in summer, while we humans stray away from the laser-sharp journey of our NOW—even though slowing down into the NOW, and fully living and experiencing July (for example) as a true summer month felt delicious and relaxing. Go figure!
August is brilliant in that it offers us great free training to learn to refocus, balance, and manage the experience of life that is right NOW, and to not get carried away by our oh-so human push to get things done and plan and prep everything at all times is the key to 100% success.
Yes, I know what I am talking about. I’m one of those people, and on top of that I’m Swiss—the masters of perfectionism, forgetting that letting yourself go in the NOW holds gold.
August invites us to see, taste, feel, experience, and live both - or all - meanings of what is in our NOW, but to choose wisely which to prioritize as the foundation from where we live our NOW and are getting things done right NOW.
So take this preciously insightful month and be clear about where your focus is, and through which energy you are experiencing your life right NOW:
Is it the energy of summer or the other meaning you can make it be, the stress of prepping?
Are you balancing this month of preparations without leaving the enjoyment of “it’s still summer,” or are you forgetting about this present sun-fun time, missing out on these high-for-life vibes that are freely available to you?
August is your great reminder that everything always is what you make it to be!
But how do you do that, enjoying your NOW while taking care of what needs to be prepared for? How do you ditch the stress of “the next” and forgetting to live, to instead embrace the fun of what’s right NOW, while still getting it all done in perfect fashion?
Work on your awareness and make being aware a priority.
Face where you put your attention most and consciously shift to a better focus point. For example, shift to the fact that August is still summer. Truth is, you can’t just shove your old unhelpful habits into a bag and keep going the same old way. No, you must embrace the clarity in what you become aware of and be determined to be present in a better NOW more and more.
Practice staying in the NOW. That way you become a trained experiencer of the purest life adventure. If you happen to have multiple meanings (for example: it’s summer - I have to prepare) in your NOW choose the more exciting one as your baseline to focus on, then through that energy and well-feeling do what you need to do. It will be done through joy!
Learn to enjoy freely. The things you need to do will still be there when you get to them, and besides, you will get them done from the standpoint and energy of feeling good.
Relax and allow what’s next to come in, pat yourself on the back for giving your best, and stay flexible on how this next chapter will look. You never know, the unplanned might look and feel better than what you had in mind.
Bottom line is that if you stay present in the August summer vibes - making that your priority - and you plan and prep how you want it to be when this opportunistic month nears its end through that aligned summer energy, you will create success on every level because prepping while you are enjoying yourself will be of a higher-frequency-outcome than if you prep from being stressed and missing out on the last chances of summer fun.
So accept August’s challenge as an amazing growth and practicing opportunity! It’s one that will help you calibrate to who you are on your highest frequency.
Remember, everything is always outfitted with multiple meanings, but you posses the freedom to choose your NOW over everything else and pick where your fuel is coming from; fun or stress.
And to help celebrate your new favorite month August and keep your summer feelings going, I have a gift for you, one that you can only get directly from me.
