“If you agreed with the first two statements, you may not be able to view the world with an open perspective and need to overcome a negative and fixed mindset. If you agreed with the second two, you’re ready to step out from the crowd by doing whatever it takes to become the whole of who you are.” Let’s take a look at where we can start….
How to love who you are and have compassion for others
The news and state of circumstances in the world today through heightened emotions and awareness from traumatic events is grim. We take in traumatic events visually and perceptually internalizing it through the perspective we have come to know by our individual life experience, and the history of our family lineage. Even if the trauma is not directly affecting us or our loved ones. The feelings, thoughts and emotions escalate in times like this from the life experience of our grandparents and a society before we were born, triggering and changing our present day state of mind. Beliefs and racial divide have been driven even escalating in present day and can be stopped by each individual person realizing that the energy we put out in the world is what we are going to get back. And this includes where you are in your personal life.
These present day circumstances must give us pause to take individual responsibilty to look at our lives and realize the answer to change lies within each of us, in our actions and desire to change by seeking to live in our highest and greatest self. By taking responsibility for your own thoughts and actions, we can step into our full human potential and bare our unique gifts and traits, that propel the greatness of who you were born to be. Children are born fully in their true nature and it isn’t until society, friends and family impart their believes, prejudice and “their experience” that includes adversity, that causes a “separation from the heart and mind of that child.” Whether black, white or any other race. The truth of that separation is not really yours, it is a separation in all circumstances of you from your inner being and who you were uniquely born to be.
The history and degree of adversity you have from your life experience, does not have to determine or continue to quiet your inner voice, keeping you stuck or living from the fullness of who you truly are. Do you recognize a calling but something inside stops you from grabbing it? Have you given up on your hopes and dreams?
Here are 7 tips to empower your true voice to come forward and live the life you know is inside of you, the life that you dreamt was possible and all you have to do is reach for it!
Here are 7 tips to get you started:
- Listen to what you say. Begin to dismiss words like, should, try, can’t, and statements like “always and never.”
- Realize, “What ifs…” keep you in anxiety and stress. Turn your thoughts or your internal conversation into best case scenario.
- Think about what you want and not on what you don’t want, in all things.
- Visualize the outcome through your senses of taste, smell, touch and most of all the feelings you will have when you achieve it.
- Let go of negative influences and people. You control what you let in!
- Take 10 minutes and quiet your mind, breath and BE everyday.
- When you pray, pray from a place of appreciation.
Once we discover who we truly are, as God sees and created us and what we are here for, love for yourself and others, will become greater than fear, opening us to see the world through a new lens that is love and understanding.
