Listen To Your Inner Thoughts

We all have feelings about things that happen in life, they might be discouraging thoughts and feelings or they could be positive ones, an easy example of listening to your inner thoughts is trying on a dress for a special night out.

You put the dress on and look in the mirror, you automatically think wow, I look great or shake your head and choose another outfit. This is the simplest form of listening to your inner thoughts or intuition when it comes to making the best decision.

However we can put our inner thoughts to many good uses in our day-to-day living if we open up and tune into them. Our inner thoughts can help us to succeed in life, become more confident and live a happier, more productive and fulfilling life.

You are the most valuable resource that you have in life when it comes to making the right choices and the right decisions. You automatically know if something’s right or wrong and how to achieve the best results simply by going along with your own intuition, and it very rarely lets us down.

Channeling into your intuition is easy and here are some simple ways you can start using it:

• Start off the easiest way developing your intuition by using it to make choices for less important decisions, examples could be, choosing what you want for dinner or which movie or restaurant to go to.

• You will find it easier to tune into yourself and your inner thoughts when it is quiet, so choose a room where you know you won’t be disturbed when it comes to making important choices and decisions. A good technique to use is to close your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths, focus entirely on the question or task at hand and see what immediately comes to mind.

• Be willing to admit that you might make mistakes when listening to your intuition, while your intuition is usually right, you might misinterpret your inner thoughts that can lead to making a mistake. However you should learn by the mistakes you make and continue developing and strengthening your inner guidance.

• When letting your inner guidance come through don’t confuse matters by trying too hard or swaying the answer one way or another, chances are if you are leaning towards going in one direction then you already have the answer.

Following the above is the easiest way to get your inner guidance to start surfacing when you need it, the more you turn to it and use it, the easier it will become.

As the cartoon character “Jiminy cricket” sang to his friend Pinocchio “always let you conscience be your guide”, the same applies in real life, follow your heart, your inner thoughts and feelings and you will never go far wrong. It is only when we begin to lose faith and doubt ourselves that we become unstuck and indecisive and this leads us in the wrong direction or at a standstill.

MIND SET

Mirror your soul

I really tend to believe that people are creating their own reality. I'm sure that it's what they do when they make their dreams come true. It's not about bringing your whims to do the action, but to express yourself through your surrounding world, so it mirrors who you are, and the way you choose to be.

It's not new that different people have different beliefs. Some people think they can direct their fate, and some believe that fate directs them. Some people receive inner guidance, feeling that it was given from above, and some are sure that it's their own soul guiding them. So how do you think, is there anyone who's in control of your life, or are you the only one who claims the right to be its master?

I really tend to believe that people are creating their own reality. I'm sure that it's what they do when they make their dreams come true.

I still believe though that the Creator does the creating as well, but i just can't see God and us as being something separate. I think if God was observing us, then the only thing s/he'd see would be the reflection of oneself.

But if you're trying to see yourself being as great and loving as if you were no longer just a body and emotions, and to look at everything from the soul's point of view, or from your Higher-Self's perspective, you suddenly understand that you feel so tied up in your old and comfy perception of the world, that you can't break free from your fears and worries whispered by your ego day by day. Your whole life you were doing things by the force of habit, and now, you woke up, but it's not like you can change yourself in a wisp of light. Now it will be hard.

I, myself, as if i've never checked what's going on in my head, once just realised that all my worries are about money, health, family problems, about who might die in my family and what pages of my life could be torn away. I felt that i don't even understand who i truly am. I was just unable to realise myself, and that could make a person feel desperate, because if there's no hint of self-realisation, there is no grasp for the life itself.

You know, it's like there's just no personal freedom. Like you've lost your right to be yourself. As if you suddenly realise that most of your thoughts are limited and not of your true nature at all; as if you're thinking and speaking from your ego all the time, but don't even comprehend where your soul is hiding.

If you're trying to find the way back to your soul, and finally do something good, or start helping someone, you still don't, because all your inner strives are devoted to fight away your ego, or to stop hurting others and not be driven by the anger if somebody plays with your emotions. I think that, if any sense of wisdom is present, nobody actually wants to hurt anyone, or feel guilty afterward. And nobody wants to be what people say or think about them. How could anyone know your soul so well, and tell you everything about it?

How could anyone steal your freedom of being yourself, and how could it be good to bring up the whole show of being such a remarkable personality, about which people will gossip, if the thing that makes you mad and broken is that you don't really understand who you are, and that the things like burden of guilt, age, illness, or other pains may swipe away everything that you've ever been, and there would be nothing left; nothing remarkable.

So mostly all my struggles have been turned into a dream to be free and forget the limitations. Like when you see a plane in the sky, and your longing and desire for liberty is so strong, that you not just desperately want to be in there, but you wish to be the very moment of self-determination, the moment of choice. But dreams are dreams, and you don't gain anything but sadness if they stay unfulfilled. The weird thing is that even if they don't come true, you still can't stop yourself from hoping that they will. As if the hope is a secret knowledge that everything is going to be all right.

And if your life is similar to lives of many, you might not even realise that there is something that is keeping you from giving up, even if your entire reality is based on irritation and frustration.

You know, many people actually hate their lives, because they do not see what they want to see around, and do not feel the way they might, if only everything was different. But if the only thing you see around is the kingdom of depression, it is not about the world, and not about the life, definitely. When somebody dies, life doesn't stop.

It must be realised that if you have devoted your life to lies or pretence, if you're choosing to stay bound when you are free, this is not about the life. You might think that you hate it, or that nothing good will ever happen to you because it's just not worth happening, but it is you choosing what to feel at this moment of your life, and if it's worth of being felt at all.

You can choose to fill your day with such things like necktie colour picking, considering the size of staples you need for your work, or just spending all the time in the kitchen. But you also may choose to wake up once in the morning with strong intention to start everything anew, as if there were no regrets in your life, as if nobody ever broke you before... You are choosing your words; you're choosing your thoughts and moods. You're choosing the life through which you will express yourself, and your entire reality is your own reflection. If your reality is unsuitable, maybe what you feel and do is not suitable for your soul, and to change it you got to see the world as if it was the part of your entire being.

You know, there is a mantrum that was said to be one of the most powerful, which is probably not surprising because it puts you facing the truth about yourself. The one that many choose not to recognise. The mantrum is: "i love"

Strange, but even if you feel that you don't love anything about your life, the world, or the people around you, you instantly understand what is it exactly that you love.

The places where you've never been, the things you always dreamed to do, the feelings you so wished to experience, the people you could've love, or the children you didn't have. Even if you never had such things in your life, you still can't keep yourself from loving th em, because they're your dreams.

Un-acceptable moments

The day when I pick the phone, I was not able to talk few minute because the news was not favourable to me. The call was from my sister who stays with my mom and dada. It was about half past noon and the word was first it is that to told me that take care and please listen carefully. It was the news that my dad was no more with us, it was too bad to hear the same and unexpected but expected as he was in bed quite some time and suffering with illness…

Never though second, and got arranged to get a flight ticket. We both, my self and Gowri rushed to airport. Un-fortunately the flight got delayed. While waiting for the final flight announcement at airport, we again received a call that they are preparing for the final way to his home town where he born and brought up. It was again too emotional but there is no other way as it was our custom that we need to do the cremation by before sun set. I hope that the flight will take off and can see his face once again, but it was too late when we landed at Coimbatore airport that they are waiting for our confirmation as it was round 6.00 pm and we has to agree to do so. Finally I reached at Trichur around 11.00 pm, by the time they are return back after the cremation. It was too emotional with all by then.
