Stop, Sit, Listen: What a Cat in My Dream Taught Me About Receiving

Last night, a cat came to me in my dream — soft, unhurried, staring at me with a knowing I couldn’t ignore. When I woke up, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this cat had something to teach me.

A Moment of Reflection

I’ve been feeling the urge to run lately — not just physically, but emotionally. I’ve been tempted to escape my current reality because of frustration, exhaustion, and the instability of someone I love. My first instinct is always to fix, respond, to do something.

But the cat in my dream didn’t run, didn’t chase, didn’t fix.
It simply sat.
It watched.
It waited for me to settle.

I realized I’ve been hustling emotionally — reacting to the “sky is falling” energy around me. This cat reminded me that I don’t have to light myself on fire to prove I care. I can sit. I can breathe. I can trust that answers will come if I stop chasing them.

The Lesson

Sometimes, life is calling us to stop and receive rather than chase.
Sometimes, the medicine is in sitting still and letting wisdom find you.

This season, I’m choosing to:

• Pause before reacting
• Journal daily, even just one line
• Trust that God/the Universe is still orchestrating good for me
• Create space for guidance instead of filling every moment with worry
