Gratitude is Who You Truly Are

by

We all feel grateful when something wonderful happens, or when what we were dreading doesn’t happen after all. Gratitude is usually the last thing on our mind when the shit hits the fan. Our mental preoccupations and thought spinning brains lure us in and keep us  glued just like endless TV. Gratitude becomes a forgotten practice tucked away with pretty journals, crystals and aromatherapy oils.

I used to be that way, but I have become increasingly grateful for the power of gratitude. Gratitude can often be like a magic wand, transforming my energetic state and wiping the windows of my eyes, so I see beauty and notice what is good in my life.

When Negative Emotions Keep Coming Back

by

Our emotions keep resurfacing whenever we think about it, even when we try to think differently. When negative emotions keep coming back, it’s a sign to take some time to communicate with the part of you who’s in pain.

You can be with the part of you that is hurting in such a way that makes it easier to feel and release the pent up emotions.

It’s about feeling the emotion and feeling heard and held at the same time. We can do this for each other, but sometimes you don’t have someone you can turn to and you need to do it for yourself.

So how do you be with the part of you that is hurting?

Finding Purpose is About More Than Just Your Work

by

Woman sitting on front of wooden boat sailing towards sunsetI often hear people say that they want to find their purpose. Their job doesn’t fulfill them anymore, if it ever did. They are at a turning point, adrift in a world filled with a dizzying array of choices. There is something their heart longs for, or wants more of. Their key is to discover that finding purpose is about more than just your work.

They start to see their job as an albatross around their neck. The pull of financial needs makes them think that they are trapped, as if they’re in a boat with an oar stuck in the mud, held back from the richness of life’s experiences and their own potential.

On a human level, this is a painful place to be. We all want to make the most of our lives, find happiness and give our dreams a chance, if we know what they are. It’s tempting to interpret the gap between where we are and where we want to be as a yawning pit of failure and bemoan how hard life can be.

Finding purpose is about more than just your work. Once you get the influence your thoughts have on your reality, you discover a purpose that becomes your key to the life you want.

Navigating Fears and Doubts

by

Sailing out to blue sea with wind in sailsImagine you’re on an unfamiliar beach, gazing out at the waves gently rolling in onto the shore. You’re wondering whether it’s safe to swim. What if there are undercurrents that could sweep you out to sea or drag you under? Navigating fears and doubts are like those unseen undercurrents, lurking beneath the surface of your dreams and goals.

You can ignore them and swim anyway, but your unconscious mind has the power to drag you down or hold you back.

You have to develop the mind awareness and intuitive discernment to spot that you have undercurrents rippling through you like waves of resistance.

How can you have fears and doubts when you are following your heart?

It’s an all too human paradox.

The fears you are experiencing are not usually the kind that make you break out in a sweat and shake. You might not even realize you are experiencing fears and doubts. You just find it hard to act on your intentions. Often, you  waver and distract yourself, spinning your wheels as you face the same view of yourself and your life each day.

Sound familiar?

What your deepest desires and goals want is simple — you.

Drop Deeper to Find Your Truth

by

Meditative lake scene with small pile of flat stones at sunsetEnthusiasm can wane. What once excited you, may not necessarily continue to do so. Your big yes can suddenly feel like a strain. What to make of this sudden change that goes against all plans and expectations? It’s time to drop deeper to find your truth.

I sometimes feel deeply humbled by life’s waves of change. Which way now? Do I still go ahead with my plan because that’s what I planned?

Whenever I have made myself stick with the program, despite nagging concerns, I just prolonged the inevitable. In the end, whether it was a job, a client, a creative idea or relationship, my misgivings turned out to be well-founded.

It turned out it would have been better to acknowledge that something wasn’t feeling right and listen deeper to the messages I was getting from my intuitive guidance.

All the same, just because you are suddenly feeling weary or tense about what once felt so compelling, doesn’t mean to say that it’s the wrong choice. You just want to check in with yourself.

In some cases, it can be that our fears are masquerading as intuition. Feeling jittery, focusing on situations that didn’t turn out well in the past or your own perceived inadequacies show that you are listening to your mind, rather than your wise self.   

The first thing to do is hit the pause button.
