A Guided self introspection

So my challenge to you is to take a moment now, take a few deep breathes, feel calm and relaxed, without tension. Now, honestly look at yourself and your life. Who are you?

Are you your body? Are you your mind? Are you your name? Are you your job? Are you your accomplishments? What has been the part of you that is unchanging your whole life?……Who are you?

Are you comfortable being alone in silence or do you immediately feel restless and unable to be calm and still? Why this agitation? Do you feel this need to distract yourself with work, the TV, social gatherings, food, and endless sometimes pointless conversations?

Are you truly happy? If not, what is preventing you from being happy? What is causing your suffering? Anger, Blame, Attachment, Sadness, Judgment, Resentment, Boredom, Guilt, Pride, pain, being trapped in a negative pattern, job or relationship, not following your passion, stress, desire for something but not having it, or anything else that may come to the surface….Be honest with your self introspection.

What is your no to life?

What is your no to experiencing joy in life?

Why aren’t you truly happy? Be honest and look at your life, and your negative repetitious patterns that cause your own suffering. When you find something, look at it. Make a commitment to become aware when it comes up in your life and longer fall victim to the pattern. Little by little, with awareness, you can begin to make subtle changes in your mindset and way of living that will result in a huge transformation in the overall emotional sate of your life.

“It is an idiot who keeps doing things exactly the same and expects to suddenly get a different result.”

If it is dark and you light a candle, the darkness simply disappears with the small flame of light. Shine the light of awareness onto your darkness, and the darkness will begin to disappear from your life.

Slow down so you can see what is happening and actually experience life rather than getting caught up in the drama.

Also, begin to give what you feel you need and see what suddenly happens. For example, you feel that you need to get some love, try giving someone else some love instead. You might find that you have so much love to give that you no longer need to receive it from the outside. Maybe……

Just try to see what is happening. How hard can it be to pay attention to what you are doing and experiencing?
