When you are satisfied with where you are, you will find peace. I am an inherently impatient person. When I want something, I want it now. I have improved over the years with changing my perspective and it has brought me relief during my times of frustration and impatience.
It is important to remember that life is a journey. You travel down different paths of life and even if you plan everything out to the finest detail, it NEVER evolves the way you expect it to. You think you have control, but in the end, you realize that you don’t. Life will ALWAYS throw you a curveball and a lot of the times you end up where you never thought you would be.
When you are feeling like your life is stuck in neutral, take a few moments to imagine your life as a river and you are travelling down it in a boat. You need to move your focus from feeling frustration for sitting there just floating to recognizing the beauty of just sitting there floating. Change the way you look at your life. Envision what it feels like to be in a boat with the sun upon your skin. Feel the warmth. Feel the gentle sway of the boat. Take a deep breath and sigh it out. Relax. Go with the flow. Let the thoughts gently come to you. Hold on to the ones that inspire you and let go of the ones that overwhelm you. Come from a place of peace and a place of excitement and satisfaction.
When you are feeling stuck or like your life isn’t progressing, it makes you want action. You want movement. Ask yourself: Do you really think that you will find peace in a hectic and chaotic environment? Sometimes the progression of life is subtle. Don’t try to look too hard at it. Gaze at it with soft eyes. Don’t make too much about it. Go with the flow. Keep doing what you are doing. CREATE! You are a creator.
Follow your intuition when you get a thought or you have a feeling about something and don’t be afraid to follow it. Don’t be afraid to go with it. This is where you will find your treasure. Today, follow your intuition all day. When you hear that voice inside of you tell you something, follow it. Do not deny or ignore it. Take notice of how your day goes when you follow the lead of your intuition.
Don’t let your ego get in the way and keep you from following your intuition. Your ego is going to talk you down off the ledge. Your ego is the voice that tells you “I can’t do it. I am not worthy. I might fail.” It keeps you from your dreams. The process of life is to grow, learn, evolve, manifest, and transform. Conscious evolution allows you to be conscious of your growth and evolution and allows you the opportunity to create the life you want to live, but you have to allow your intuition to lead you and ignore the voice of your ego.
Let go of any regrets you hold on to from the past. Do not live a present life of regret. Everything happened for a reason to get you to the point where you are today. Whether your life experiences were negative or positive, every experience in the past has shaped who you are today. The negative experiences helped you to learn and grow and the positive experiences reinforced your pattern of behavior. Like a butterfly, you are here to manifest through transformation into something greater than you started out to be.
Make peace with yourself. If there is anything that you are holding on to from the past that is affecting your present then you need to let go of it. Forgive. Forgive yourself and forgive others for things that happened in the past. The past is over. It was once lived as the present moment, but now it is the past. It cannot be changed. All you can do is forgive and release the events of the past that shaped you. It is ok to forgive yourself.
The present time is your reality. The NOW is your reality. The past is gone and the future is before you. All that you live is here and now. Make a pact with yourself to be mindful and act accordingly. Make a pact with yourself to Consciously Evolve every moment of the day. Choose your reactions to situations wisely. Don’t live on automatic mode. Be mindful and aware. Take every opportunity to improve. Change the way you look at your life and watch your life change.
