The conversation that keeps playing in my head of what to do, what the best way to go will be, what’s the best decision for my future and what’s the best decision for my family has many voices. Most are very loud and one day I listen to one going east and the next day I’m listening to the one going west and within a few days, my head is pounding, my emotions are a mess and I’m ready to go back to bed but I’ve only been up for 10 minutes.
I made the same mistake I have for many years and I know oh so many people have done the same. I got stuck in my head. I got stuck in my thoughts and I got stuck in the motion of what will society say. What is expected of me became more important than what do I want for myself. It took me a long while to ponder over this and move past this and this morning in my meditation the answer came to me.
“Many people say to follow your heart when you need to make a decision, but that’s just adding to voices already playing in your head. I say follow your Soul. Your Soul knows where you are going and where you need to end up.”
And logically we are thinking “But how does that make any sense? How do we listen to our Soul? Rather dumb don’t you think?” And if you are not thinking that, GOOD FOR YOU! You passed the first test because my brain was definitely thinking that afterward. And emotionally I’m wondering what’s going on, when I feel good that’s when I know that it’s the right way to go in my decision. Unfortunately that’s also wrong, as I have learned by eating way too many gummy bears and going on one too many rides.
But to allow your Soul to do the guiding, all you need to do is take a moment, breathe and allow yourself to be swept into the next small step on your journey, like a leaf being taken down stream on a current. Don’t think about it too hard, don’t allow fear to take over because you don’t know what’s going on. Allow yourself to be free to follow your instinct, follow your Soul. When it is time for you take a break, you will know. We are not taking big leaps forward. We are taking small steps on our journey and enjoying the now moment along the way.
I know, I know. Easier said than done. But just allow yourself to sit in the knowledge of this piece. Take 30 minutes to just be and allow yourself to be guided into your next step each day, then you will see it is just as easily done as said.
Allow your Head to think and your Heart to feel. Most importantly, allow your Soul to guide and lead the way.
Lot’s of Love,
Charissa
Get out of my head, into my heart, lead me soul.
