Focus on Your Intuition Rather Than Your Story

by

Woman meditating, listening to her deeper truth, with autumn trees behind herMany of us have a story that we tell ourselves from time to time that is outdated, misleading and negative. Some stories are rooted in a core wound or traumatic experience. Our stories our painful traps that we fall into, until we wise up. Focus on your intuition rather than your story, and trust your deeper knowing.

I used to have a pattern of suddenly feeling stuck. Things are going well, I feel good, confident and then bam — I hit an inner or outer obstacle. I feel stuck, temporarily hopeless and helpless. I think “Here I am again. Stuck.” I imagine never getting anywhere. Dreams not coming true.

Energetically, I sink, tighten, close down. I see myself as less than. A failure, with defects.

How long do I stay this way?

Until I feel a nudge from my deeper knowing that something is off. Then my wise self takes over. It’s like my intuition nudges me to wake up from my slumber. “I can help you get back on track,” it whispers (my interpretation) as if I was a derailed train.

Suddenly feeling powerless is a common experience, especially for women, even if you know that you are powerful.

Not Feeling Joy in Life: Find Your Truth and Live The Full You

Sunlit Path in Redwoods - when not feeling joy in life, find your truth

Have you noticed that you are not feeling joy in life? If you yearn for a sense of completeness and a richer, fuller life, choose to honor your truth. Discover how to find your real truth, the truth that makes you feel alive, rather than the false truth that flattens you.

Many years ago, unhappy in my marriage and not feeling joy in life, I attended a personal growth workshop where I burst into tears, sobbing that I was “living half a life.” My words seem to land in every woman’s heart that day. One of them approached me later to say that she realized that she too was living half a life. She promptly announced that she was leaving her job and moving. She drove off to live in another city. I faced the truth of how I really felt about my marriage and ended it. This was the right choice for me at the time, and in retrospect.

Since then, I have had billions of opportunities to face my truth. Each day, I have to find what is true for me. Sometimes my truth is obvious; my truth moves me into action that feels good and right. Other times I can wrestle with my truth, trying to convince myself that it’s really something else. I don’t know quite why I’m sometimes unwilling to face my truth, because I suffer the consequences. I feel small, incapable, confused, anxious, tired and don’t enjoy life. However, when I find, face and follow my truth, I feel alive, vibrant and joyful. I am courageous and free inside, which results in me feeling enriched by who I am and by the richness of life.

If you are not feeling joy in life, take some time to reflect on what is going on in your heart.

Most importantly, find and honor your truth. Follow the career that calls you deep in your heart, make your business joyful, or launch yourself into the special project that makes your heart sing. Life is too short to settle for second best.

Here are three steps you can take to find your truth: [Read more…] about Not Feeling Joy in Life: Find Your Truth and Live The Full You

Losing Heart? Five Ways to Find Your Heart Again

by

Feeling sad, overwhelmed or discouraged? Or, maybe just not as bright as you know you could be? Sometimes we can feel worn down by a situation and lose all sense of perspective.

Here are five simple ways to start opening up your heart again so you can benefit from its wisdom and love. The wisdom of the heart is always available to you, though hard to hear when your heart feels closed. Spending time with someone you love and can communicate deeply with is also wonderful, but there are times when this may not be an option.

  1. Take some time out – go for a walk, look for beauty, things to appreciate, breathe, enjoy exerting your body and notice the difference between before your walk and after. If you prefer to run, make sure you observe and appreciate your surroundings so your attention is outside of yourself and your preoccupations.
  2. Lie down and have a rest. Your breath will find its own rhythms again and you’ll find your mind will let go of cycling around the same themes and leave space for a more balanced state of being. [Read more…] about Losing Heart? Five Ways to Find Your Heart Again
