Following our instincts

Many times in our lives we are put in situations where we need to make tough choices. Such moments can bring a sense of confusion, stress and vulnerability especially when we allow the people in our lives to manipulate us into making a decision.

It is human nature to always analyze things from the more logical point of view, however, it is of extreme importance to measure all the pros and cons of any particular circumstance and then take time to quiet the mind and allow the heart to guide us.

There will always be a battle between the logical mind and the gut instincts we feel deep in our heart; therefore, it is imperative to learn to discern from what our ego wants us to do versus the truth coming from our inner wisdom.

Our mind will always want to protect us from past painful experiences, which is why it is common to feel a sense of resistance towards any insight coming from within our hearts. The mind only remembers selective information about the internal issues we maybe wanting to overcome; subsequently our instincts are usually overshadowed by the strong stubbornness of our logic.

The truth is, that no matter how convincing our logical point of view may seem, there is always another part of our body that we need to pay attention to; our inner guidance. Our inner guidance is that voice within that is always whispering in our ear letting us know which path to take in life; nonetheless, we tend not to listen to this voice because it usually tells us the opposite of what our ego wants us to do.

Life could be so much easier if we allowed this inner guidance to flourish from within and direct us in the right direction. But we get in our own way, placing unnecessary obstacles that impede our happiness and ability to live a life free of suffering. Understanding that life is not meant to be difficult and that we have all the answers within to make the choices that best suits our personal growth is paramount to leading a life full of grace, peace, perfection, love and happiness.

The best way to connect with this inner wisdom is to allow time for self discovery. By this I refer to the concept of creating a sacred time and space in our lives, a place where we can be quiet and deeply unite with our higher self on a daily basis. Looking within is the only way to find a truthful answer to all of our life’s trials & tribulations.

Learn to listen to your inner guidance, for it will never steer you in the wrong direction and it will always make sure the choices you make are the best ones that will allow you to fulfill your soul’s divine purpose.
