The
Importance of your Inner Life
What is your inner
life?
Most of us have gotten
really good at accomplishing our to do lists and are focused on doing things
every day – this is our outer life.
This is important… and
yet you will get burned out if you don’t create time to focus on your inner life.
I know this to be true since it happened to me. I was a full time massage
therapist for 9 years and realized that one day I just couldn’t continue any
more and be true to myself and my wellbeing. I was exhausted. I needed to learn
how to really make myself a priority and focus more on my inner life which I
did and feel much better today and can now be there for others in a whole new
way.
Your inner life is the
place where you go when you put your focus on you. Some questions to ponder.
When you close your
eyes what is your attention focusing on?
How Self Aware are
you?
What are your
thinking?
What are you telling
yourself?
How are you feeling?
what are you feeling? where in your body are you feeling it?
Are you stressed? what
about?
Are you relaxed?
How much time are you
making to decompress from your day?
Are you meditating?
Are you allowing
yourself time to just be?
Do you spend time
outside in nature regularly to recharge?
What are you doing to
feed your inner life and recharge your energy naturally?
You inner life
reflects your outer life. Our inner life is really indicative on how much time
we take for self care.
How do we shift our
consciousness to responding with compassion and non-judgment when we are in
constant conflict with ourselves.
How can we learn to
honor ourselves and each other simultaneously and live on behave of the whole?
If you don’t look
inside and shift what isn’t aligned with your truth, your integrity your
personal values, than who will it be? Who will do it for you?
What will it look like
to be true to yourself? what does this even mean?
Are you willing to
change – and focus on your inner world to change your outer world?
As Gandhi so well put,
“Be the change you want to see in the world”.
We are evolving and
growing all the time.
The human race is at a
paradigm shift right now in our evolution. It is really up to each one of us to
make the choice to change the rules so they align with our own truth… where we
create the internal stamina to see things through to the end with peace and
sled-liberation and love for ourselves and each other.
How do we deal with
the violence and injustice of the world?
We turn inward and
learn how to respond with compassion and love, verses judgment and fear by
practicing self compassion and love.
Is it possible to
respect all sides… the ones fighting against each other. What are people really
fighting for? to get their way? What doesn’t make any sense is that they are
really fighting themselves… when we all get this… then we will learn to respect
each other more… because we will learn to respect ourselves by turning inward
and resolving the conflicts inside to effect the outside world.
What power do you
listen to? is it inside or outside of you? By making time feed your inner world
your outer world becomes richer and more fulfilling.
Dear Hearts, to enrich
your inner life…. start meditating and sitting quietly for 30 minutes every
day. Let go of anything you don’t need any more… breathe deeply and allow your
exhale to take all the things you don’t want any more with it… just let go and
start to forgive those around you for any harm they have done.
To become more
congruent with your inner life, make a list of all the things you know you need
to do and haven’t done that is aligned with what you know intuitively, but you
keep putting it off. Find out what is holding you back from doing these
things…..get support…. set goals and deadlines for yourself or find an
accountability friend to motivate you and hold you accountable to finish what
you start.
Ask yourself – How can
I become more empathetic to the needs of the people and the world? What can I
do TODAY to support me feeling empowered on how I live my life that is
authentic and grounded? It may just be how to manage your thoughts better and
be more present to those around you with an open heart.
I take a stand for
Peace, Harmony and Compassion… where we can learned to feel balanced in our
inner life and thus have a balanced outer life. Seek to understand others
first.. and this brings a deeper connection and rapport to one another.. where
we can become more authentic with one another.
I am here with you to
serve you and guide you through this crisis that we are in right now… to
remember the importance of the inner life when things get overwhelmed is of
great importance to our survival.
