If you’re overwhelmed, unclear, or not getting things done…. BE a SQUARE

September 9, 2020

Creative, spiritually-oriented folks have absolutely no problem coming up with new visions and wildly wonderful creative ideas. But manifesting those ideas, or simply losing that frickin’ 10 pounds….

Not so easy.

As a creative person, I don’t need more ideas. I need discipline, definition and clarity.

I need square energy.

Let’s take a moment and tap into it. Close your eyes and imagine a square… it has clear, defined lines and sharp corners. It knows exactly how long its edges are, exactly where it will turn to make its four precise, 90-degree turns.

There is no fuzziness here. The square is not wobbly, it’s not unsure, it’s not meandering, it’s not in “flow.” The square can’t be pushed around, it’s not at risk of losing its shape. It’s solid.

Unfortunately, many of my clients tell me they dislike squares. Squares feel too masculine, to linear, and too regimented. They like circles and spirals, not squares.

But if you’re having trouble getting things done or making decisions, if you’re in overwhelm or simply need to set some boundaries with yourself or others, you need square energy.

This isn’t about imposing rigid structure on yourself. Most of us have tried that and failed. It’s about working with an inner Source energy. It’s energy you can actually feel that’s coming from Something greater than you. 

Spirit can provide you with good form… sturdy inner form.

How do you experience this Source energy?  Don’t simply “think” square or visualize the square… BE the square.

You ARE a clearly defined square. You are sturdy, you can’t be pushed around, you are well defined and solid.

You are a square.

 

To build anything, we need clarity, definition and good form. To overcome health issues, we need discipline. To have healthy and happy relationships, we need clear boundaries. Square energy is absolutely essential in this world.

It’s time to embrace your inner square.
