Making an excuse about why, once again, I did not sleep well the night before, prompted the “gotcha!” . . .
“No, you have the same problem I do. You have a hard time letting go of the past and not realizing your future possibilities. You can blame it on whatever it was, but that’s the issue you’re facing.”
Have you ever needed to make a decision, once and for all, and you just cannot put closure to it?
The more serious the circumstances, the more difficult the decision making process. How does your body act out while you are in the throughs of ruminating over all the details in your mind, over and over and over again?
One thing is for sure – your body does act out. Obvious symptoms may present themselves as insomnia, weight loss, weight gain, etc. However, perhaps the more serious consequences are taking place and you don’t even know it. . .such as the damaging effects to your body organs from chronically elevated cortisol levels.
What keeps you stuck? What paralyzes you, preventing you from making that final decision? Here’s a simple tool that may help. Take a look at these words from www.higherawareness.com:
Where are you not being true to yourself?
All blocks arise when we’re not being authentic, when we’re not being true to ourselves. We know we’re not being authentic when we feel discomfort of any kind.
When our thoughts, feelings and actions align with our essence, we express the qualities of soul. Always trust that your soul knows what’s best for you.
Believe in yourself and act on your ideas. Give yourself permission to do what you want with your life. Take the initiative to set meaningful goals for yourself and achieve them. Begin to tell yourself why you CAN have what you want!
Here’s the bottom line. What are you feeling? Does it feel good? Does it feel bad? How would your soul answer those questions?
Do you ever tell yourself, “Well, if I just worked at it a little harder it would be different, or it would work out,” or “If only I did (fill in the blank).”
Now think about it, why would you have to “work at” something to make it feel right? If it is the right decision, why wouldn’t it just naturally feel good?
And then there’s the thing about making a difference. It seems innate to have an inner drive to make a difference in the world or in someone’s life. However, here is an interesting twist. What is the driving force behind your desire? Is it lack of worthiness?
Again, from Higher Awareness:
Making a difference
Does the drive to make a difference arise from ego’s need to feel worthy? If my ego is not convinced that I matter, I may want visible proof that I do by making some kind of impact on life.
Soul doesn’t need proof that it’s worthy. Soul thrives in being awake and connected. Perhaps if we let go of the pressure we feel from our ego’s need to be recognized, we will be more open and able to simply live soulfully. And by doing that, we WILL make a difference!
You are worthy. You do matter. You deserve to be happy.
At any given moment, ask yourself, “How do I feel?” If you feel good, press on. If you don’t, it’s time for a course correction.
“Always trust that your soul knows what’s best for you.”
Above all else, be true to you.
