In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, our minds often resemble a restless monkey, swinging from one thought branch to another with seemingly no end in sight. This phenomenon, often referred to as the “monkey mind,” can wreak havoc on our mental well-being if left unchecked. However, what if I told you that you possess the power to tame this wild beast and reclaim control over your thoughts? It all begins with awareness.
Self-awareness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental aspect of personal development and success. Understanding oneself becomes increasingly crucial in a world filled with distractions and noise. Self-awareness is recognizing and understanding one’s thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. It involves introspection, reflection, and an honest assessment of oneself. It’s like holding up a mirror to our inner selves, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly and objectively.
Envision this…Waking up each morning loving your life. Eager to jump out of bed and into your morning magic routine of meditation, workout, self-care, journaling, and, coffee:) Your schedule is full of love and freedom. Why? Because you know EXACTLY what you need. You know yourself well — your likes, dislikes, what you need to feed your body, mind, and soul. And, because you know yourself SO WELL, it’s easy to make choices for an EXCEPTIONAL LIFE.
This higher path may only be formed though, like a diamond, by being squeezed from all angles. We are ALL being called to a higher purpose. The question isn’t IF we are being called, the question is, do we choose to RECEIVE our higher purpose? And, even if we do say YES, YES, YES, I’m IN…. Now comes the fun of realignment in all areas of our lives and businesses to that higher purpose!
Ever wonder why you struggle with something over and over? You thought ‘it’ was gone. That addiction. The illness. The craving. The desire for more.
I hear you. Sometimes it can make you looney tunes when you pray, and ‘it’ goes away for a bit but then returns with a vengeance. You begin to doubt and question all that is. Instead of fighting, I’d like to invite you to DIVE in. DIVE into whatever ‘it’ is for you. What does it want to teach you? How can you LOVE this part of you that you may not LIKE?
Perhaps you could always feel the emotions and physical symptoms of others as if they were your own. If this rings true, you may be an “empath.” Only a small percentage of the population experience this type of sensitivity, having the ability to feel and absorb the emotions surrounding them. There are hundreds of books and movies on the subject.
