Let’s talk about compromise
The energy of compromise has been unraveling within me for over a year now, showing up clearer and clearer as I see all the aspects of compromise and how it shows up in our lives to reflect it within us. As I have cleared and continue to clear this energetic imprint within me I am learning so much about it and now see it in others and the way it is showing up in their lives.
In the Gene Keys 🧬 if you are formiliar with them. Compromise is the Shadow of Bounteousness. Meaning as long as we are compromising we cannot be bountesousness. We are literally compromising the very thing we want/deserve or the very truth of who we are.
Let’s break this down. Everything is just energetic imprint in our field that we have the power to clear. Whatever is within you will play out in your external world to reflect to you what lives within you. Compromise is one of those imprints.
Heres some ways it can show up in our lives:
Compromise can show up in many different ways in our lives to reflect back to us that energy within so that we can see it in order to clear it. (If we are willing).
Here’s one example: You know what you want in a relationship and someone comes along that is an 80% but not 100% but you’re wanting to be in a relationship and you’re tired of waiting or you’re afraid to let this one pass you by “in case” the 100% doesn’t exist or never comes. So you compromise and settle for the 80%.
But here’s the thing about compromise. As long as you are willing to compromise you will never get the 100% because the 80% is filling that space where the 100% could show up. This works in all things, jobs, friendships, money etc. it is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves, what we feel we are worth and how willing and devoted we are to holding our values and our worth. Not compromising what we truly want or what feels good! Like truly good in our body.
Here’s other examples of compromise, some small, some big.
You continue to hangout with that friend that still makes jabs at you, doesn’t support you, feels threatened by you, or just doesn’t live in a way that resonates with you, not honest etc etc. but you continue to hangout with them because you feel bad stepping out of their lives or you are afraid a more aligned friendship won’t come in etc ( whatever the story is that creates this holding onto a friendship that doesn’t feel good). So you compromise and thus holding onto a friend that is filling the space that a new beautiful nurturing friendship could be filling.
Another example:
You know what food is good for you and what your body needs to feel it’s best and you really want to feel your best but you continue to eat food that doesn’t feel good. You cannot FEEL good if you continue to feed yourself what does not FEEL good. This goes for everything, not just food. This again is another form of compromise.
There’s endless ways this shows up including, ignoring your body and intuition with things like the following: eating food that doesn’t nurture or feel good for your body, doing things that you know in your body (intuitively) aren’t good for you but you do it anyway.
They can show us as “small” as not speaking up when someone makes you uncomfortable because you don’t want to make them uncomfortable. So you keep it to yourself, compromising your own comfort and truth: I could go on and on about the endless ways compromise shows up.
As long as you are compromising, you will never get the 100%. If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no. This is a good gauge to use in your life to see where you could be compromising. Trust your gut and follow it and know that the 100% doesn’t come unless you are clear and uncompromising.
Compromise plays into us falling “asleep” Falling back into unconscious patterns. It’s a slippery slope. You make one tiny compromise here and convince yourself it’s small and not a big deal and another little one over there and before you know it you have fallen down the very slippery slope of self abandonment and disempowerment. Losing sight of your truth and your values by feeding compromise.
You have the power to make choices, to shift the trajectory of your life. What you are NOT changing you are choosing.
I’ll say that again, WHAT YOU ARE NOT CHANGING, YOU ARE CHOOSING. So what are you choosing? What are you values and where are you not holding them up? Where are you compromising who you are and what you truly want, what you value and what your worth?
What is the story ( reason) behind the compromise? Fear? Addiction? Wounds?
What is the story that the fear is telling you? “You’re gonna be alone”
Where does this addiction come from? What is the emotion in creates? We don’t get addicted to thing/substances, we get addicted to the emotion it evokes. (Shame being a common major one).
What is the wound saying? “What if I don’t deserve better?” Etc etc.
Compromise is an energetic imprint but what is the story beneath it that created and can you unravel it and clear it.
Is compromise showing up in your life?
What is it reflecting back to you?
As I have been clearing this imprint within myself and clearing the compromise in even the smallest form that it shows up in I am getting clearer in what I am wanting to experiencing and that clarity within in me is drawing into my life the 100% experiences because compromise is no longer in my field, therefore no longer is being reflected back to me in my outer world. As we get clearer inside, our other world also gets clearer.
Everything you need to know about yourself will be reflected outside of you and when you are ready to work through something, release something. In this example compromise, people will show up in your life at the perfect moment as teachers to reflect that back to you so you can clear it and free yourself and rise into a higher expression of self. Everyone is your teacher if you are open and willing to look within.
How other may show up as teacher can be as people that test your boundaries, people that you have to step away from that are not good for you, people that are compromising in big ways in their own life, people that don’t treat you well etc. again your teachers can show up in many ways as well to be the perfect reflection you need for your particular comprises. Once you start to recognize it and unravel it you will see it in all its forms and be able to clear it quickly.
I am clear in my experience that I no longer am willing to compromise. I want the 100% so I hold that vision and do not entertain compromise in any of its forms. When it shows up, I bless and thank it for its lesson and say “no thank you, I am complete with this cycle” I bless and release it. I no longer feed it.
What you feed expands. Starve it and it dies.
No long feed any form of compromise in your reality and it ceases to exist.
You choose.
