The moment arises when we are ready to make bigger life changes. Sometimes change seems to happen without us and we may feel confused or frozen in our tracks. Sometimes we are unsure exactly how to respond to abrupt change, that is, which mountains to scale, which direction to turn or to how to let go of what no longer serves us. Consider 10 Tips to rebuild, rewire and recreate yourself;
1. Draw Power from Inside
Everything shifts as it dawns true power comes from inner navigation rather than from outer attractions and attachments to people, position, potential promotion, material goods and prestiege. In other words, this is key to reclaim and strengthen relationship with our truest virtues, vivid visions and untapped potential.
2. Speak Truthfully
One who speaks from the heart, does not hold back, regardless of judgement, rejection or loss of popularity, is aligned with Soul. As we shift away from ego agendas, we realize being honest with ourselves and others is the only option to be real. Journalling and reading entries to self can encourage us to take it next level.
3. Focus on a Calling
This is not the same as what we do as a job we are pushed into or we allow someone to choose for us. It emerges from intuition, a sixth or spiritual sense. Its up to each of us to take chances, join the dots of our own path, do what others tell us cannot be done.
4. Be Loyal to your Values
This implies we are aware of our ideals and live in integrity. This comes from deepening self-awareness and being willing to let go of relationships and situations that are not out of sync. Whether we call them pillars, commandments, guideposts, habits, principles or core values, they quietly guide our decisions and actions. The best are easily understood and shared in practice.
5. Live from the Heart
As we sget out of the head, (stop questioning, doubting, over-analyzing), and live more from the heart, we find effortless productivity soars, confidence and self-worth increase, and we grow into magic manifestors. This is part of the process of discovering oour gifts and offering service. I pray we all come to trust intuition over the logic and practical reasoning of the intellect.
6. Study Inspiring People
Inspiring men and women affect us based on artistic genius, being fearless warriors, prodigious scientists, businss titans, inspiring humanitarians, Nobel laureats and individuals who inspire us to love and accept ourselves and our visions. Principles they live by, behaviours, discipline and rituals stand out or draw us in to recognize qualities in ourselves that are ripe to blossom.
7. Learn to Meditate & Visualize
Notice the body. Feel your breath. Take note when your mind is wandering. Varied approaches exist. This is about becoming an astute observer of your own thoughts and feelings. Gradually expand your awareness to include body sensations, and sounds in external environments. Embrace everything that arises with non-judgmental awareness. Continue practicing mindfulness meditation for at least 10 minutes daily, gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice.
8. Invest in Self-development Events & Courses
Call it synchronicity or intuition, something mysterious guides us to commit time, and energy to events and courses. Maybe its a yoga teacher training, a children's illustrator workshop, a writer's masterclass, an artists' internship, a free offering that crosses our path, guidance from inspiriting specialists with no strings attached. Take advantage of what presents. Let your soul be your pilot.
9. Enlist experts
At different stages of life, we invite in teachers and guides that invite us to evolve and flourish into more expanded versions of our true Self. That may include; performance coaches, healers, breathworkers, spiritual counsellors, hypnotherapists, dream coaches or whatever resonates with our stage of consciousness.
10. Self-examine
To pay attention to yourself invites looking deeper into the psyche, to realize what unfolds in our external world reflects the state of our inner world. Begin to realize the subconscious mind and conscious mind are the same mind. The only reasons we see a difference is because we artificially create a division. The part of the mind we are not willing to look at is the subconscious mind. To explore this unknown, do shadow work, get up early, strengthen resolve, do dream work, and take steps to align with personal destiny.
On reflection, as a wiser woman, I realize this is a lot. At times, the process, was uncomfortable, even terrifying. Yet, is was also electrifying, fascinating, rewarding to make my own breakthroughs. It dawns that deep personal change is often painful simply because it is transformational. We cannot grow into all we are meant o be without leaving behind versions of ourselves we outgrow. Older versions of you experience a kind of death so your own new realities can emerge. We are taught change comes with suffering but the nature and duration are up to each of us.
Every morning, I see aspects of the external world continue to sleep or remain unchanged while the way I see myself, my behavior, even my very operating system are completely restructuring. The more I focus energy, time and attention on my vision, the more major fears fall away and new situations emerge to replace them. Much of my previous conditioning to please, to be liked and conform, while betraying true self, just dissolved.
