5 Tips to be Happier
Thursday, July 6, 2023 at 7:02AM The most important relationship we have is with ourselves. Yet, how often do we consciously sit alone with ourselves, that is, recall what it is to be fully present? This is tuning into what is really going on for us mentally, emotionally and otherwise, and actually acting on that. Restlessness is not what we think, not what we are taught to believe or consume. Consider probing 10 questions to begin to work out what is really going on for you:
1. Are you happy?
2. Who am I?
3. Why am I here?
4. Who is bored?
4. Why am I repeatedly uncomfortable?
If discomfort just won't go away, then its time to wake up and evolve. This is about finding the courage to make different choices. At a pivotal moment, it dawns we are using the external to create and reinforce an identity that is not real. As it dawns we set ourselves up to be a certain person, dress and look a certain way to meet expectations, this is a stage in awakening to who we are not. Only with awareness are we empowered to change, and only if it resonates with soul.
The moment arises when it dawns how we live our life is the example we set for our children, pets, peers, loved ones, students, clients. If we feel disturbed about our own behaviour, we are not doing the right thing in that moment. We are not listening close enough to what truly matters to our sacred heart. This is a wake-up call to go deeper, really listen to be the best course.
In essence, the contemplation processs is the way we neurologically rewire the brain. Different wake up calls present like stepping stones to behave differently, shift perception of what is possible and more aligned with our core vibration. The key is to get back on track.
Sometimes we hit our hand on the doorknob while passing through. Sometimes external examples of people who awaken in their own ways can inspire and motivate us to make different choices. Come what may, ultimately, we are the creators, orchestrators and destroyers (g.o.d.) of each stage of our own initiatic path. We decide when to awaken to levels of truth and at what pace we let go of the unreal. We decide when to be fully authentic and reveal our true colours.
