Do You Desire to Follow Your Heart and Trust Your Instincts?

Do You Desire to Follow Your Heart and Trust Your Instincts?

Giving a talk last week, somebody in the audience asked what steps I took to reach the point where my life is awesome.

Good question on his part… First step was taking responsibility for my life. Not easy and very scary.

Secondly was learning to trust my instincts and follow my heart.

Do you struggle with being able to follow your heart and trusting your instincts?

I started reflecting back on circumstances where I didn’t follow my instincts. That little tiny voice in my gut. (Guiding Universal Thought™) Guess what? My instincts were right. How about you? How often are your instincts usually right?

Learning To Trusting Your Instincts

There are several good techniques that can help you better grasp the process of trusting your instincts. Some of these common solutions might work for you.

These strategies can help you trust your instincts:

Stick with your gut feeling. Following your heart and instincts are very similar things. It’s important to go with your initial thoughts. This is because it’s likely a thought that’s coming from within and not something you’ve had time to think endlessly about. You’d be amazed with how many times you just end up going with your initial feeling anyway.
Write down your thoughts. It might help to engage in a free writing session. Pick up a pen and just write your thoughts down as they come. Try not to put the pen down. It doesn’t matter if you start writing some things that don’t pertain to the subject. After reading your notes, you’ll probably get a better idea about your base instincts.
Keep yourself in a relaxed state. It’s always best to do your thinking while you’re relaxed. That way you know you’re not making any strained decisions. Do what you can to relax yourself, whether it’s deep breathing, a warm bath, or meditation techniques.
Avoid changing your mind unless there’s a valid reason. Occasionally, you’ll know that your initial instinct was wrong. In this case, if you have a valid reason to change your mind, you should do so. However, if you don’t have a good reason, just follow through with your initial thoughts.

Now Start Following Your Heart

Sometimes following your heart instead of your mind can seem like the "weak" thing to do. This is not the case; following your heart is following the core of your beliefs… your Magical Essence… and is usually the best thing you can do.

When you follow your heart, you’re usually happy. Happy people enjoy their lives and are usually healthier in the long run. If you want to be happy, you must learn how to follow your heart.

You can begin following your heart by keeping these tips in mind:

Trust your subconscious thoughts. It can be tough to stay in touch with your subconscious thoughts, but they make up your initial instincts and they’re close to your heart. You know that the truth will be revealed to you if you give yourself enough time. Learn to trust yourself.
Go with what feels right. Don’t be afraid to take action towards the things that feel right. If something feels off to you, you can stop and explore the reasons why. It always starts with a feeling. Go in the direction of your positive feelings.
Avoid over thinking. Sometimes your mind can get away from you and start cycling through negative thoughts. Take deep breaths and get back into a positive mindset so that you can see your true path more clearly.

You’ll find that most of the time your instincts and heart are correct in the end. Even when they’re not, banish discouragement and keep practicing. Maintain a positive attitude and keep trying and soon your heart and instincts will be your guiding lights.

Top Six Limited Beliefs that Repel Wealth Attraction

by Ann Rusnak

Do you notice when negative, self-destructive thoughts creep into your mind? If you’re like most of us, you likely even discourage yourself with negative self-talk. Beware of these negative processes! You can get overwhelmed with the negativity of your self-destructive thoughts.

Are you sending yourself these troubled messages? Each example below is followed by suggestions about how to banish the thought for good:

No one understands me. If you feel this way, then examine how it is that you have many people around you – friends, family members, and co-workers – and still you believe not a one "gets" you.

Strive to ensure they know how you feel. Share your thoughts appropriately with the people involved. This action will help you gain confidence in your self-expression and quell the negative thought.

I don’t have enough time to "___________" (go after my dreams, get healthy, indulge in my beloved hobbies, or fill in your own other ideas). If the only things you have time to do are things you have to do, it sure doesn’t make life much fun.

Begin working to achieve a healthy balance in your life. Allow time each day to take part in things that make your heart sing. Fit your favorite activities into your very busy day.
Start small, if you need to, by scheduling just 15 minutes for yourself.
When you proactively take control of your schedule, you’ll be assured that you complete every activity you want to do.

I don’t deserve to have a happy life. Perhaps choices you’ve made in the past have caused you considerable psychological pain. You’ve been beating yourself up emotionally over those decisions. However, if you’ve identified them as poor choices, you’ve learned not to repeat them.

Congratulate yourself for learning from your mistakes. You’ve gained new knowledge to use from this day forward.
Confront this type of thinking by saying, "No, this thought isn’t right. I do deserve to have a happy life. After all, I learn well from my mistakes."

Things never seem to work out for me. This is a general statement that colors how you feel about yourself. It sends a subtle self-message: "I must not be doing anything right."

In reality, you likely do many things well. Spend some time identifying what those things are. Also, you may be focusing too much on what doesn’t work out well and barely noticing what’s going right in your life. Take time now to write down what you do well.

If I can’t do it perfectly, then I’m not doing it at all. It’s positive that you want to do your best in all that you do. But how will you try anything new if it has to be done perfectly? Thinking this way will prevent you from ever venturing outside your comfort zone.

Try adopting a new mantra: "If at first I don’t succeed, I’ll keep trying until I do."
Allow yourself the opportunity to make mistakes. Remind yourself that making a mistake is a real learning experience you can benefit from. Optimistically embrace your errors.

I’m afraid to do the things I really want to do. What are you specifically of? The source of your fears could likely be embarrassment, failure, or what others will think. In reality, it’s healthy to have a certain amount of fear when embarking upon something new or unknown.

The key is that, even though you feel the fear, you must do the thing you want to do anyway. Otherwise, you’ll never know what positive things could happen as a result of your following through with your hopes and dreams.

Stay Unstoppable,

The Power Of Gratitude Toward Emotional Healing

by Ann Rusnak

Power of Gratitude

Emotional Healing begins with Gratitude and Thanksgiving.

I know when you hurt inside, it’s hard to feel grateful… but it’s even harder to maintain negative thoughts with genuine gratitude in your heart.

My closest and dearest friend shared some advice while our family seemed plunged into chaos a few years ago. One thing kept happening after another.

She said to give thanks not just when thing go great but to give thanks for the problems in your life too.

I thought she was nuts and said "Are you crazy? won’t that attract more problems?"

I took her advice with skepticism. Actually, the opposite happened. Instead of more problems, solutions for the current ones showed up.

Giving thanks not only produces new ideas and solutions and increased your personal power to solve problems, it also provides the means that personal desires and dream can be fulfilled.

Gratitude Attracts Good To You

The results got me hooked on the power of gratitude and thanks.

In Robert Russell’s book, God Works Through You*, he writes "Gratitude becomes a magnet for Good by establishing a positive state of mind within yourself, nothing can keep your Good from finding you. Help comes to you through your positive state of mind and through your attitude of praise and thanksgiving."

15 Things to Be Remembered About Gratitude

excerpt from God Works Through You*

1. The ultimate goal of all spiritual practice is to be so fully conscious of God’s Presence that you are unconscious of anything unlike God.

2. Since God is the Source of all supply and the giver of every good and perfect gift, the closer you live to God the more spiritual benefits you will share.

3. The best method living close to God is the practice of whole-soul gratitude. The mind that is always grateful never knows need.

4. If you are grateful for the good things you have now, you keep your mind open to receive Good. When you are truly grateful for everything, you constantly receive more of everything.

5. A consistent attitude of thanksgiving brings the mind of man and the Mind of God into perfect reciprocal action

6. The grateful mind is a powerful mind. It always accomplishes everything it sets out to do. It is tireless, buoyant, joyous, alive.

7. The thankful mind is always positive to the good. It looks for the best and so brings the best out of everything. Seeing only the good, it causes everything to produce good.

8. The grateful soul is cumulative. The practice of thanksgiving keeps the mind in the ascending tendency. The higher the mind goes, the greater is its possessions. The more grateful it is, the more power it has.

9. The thankful soul lives in the NOW and expects everything in the present. It doesn’t live in the future.

10. In love is love reflected. The grateful person sees the best in everything, expects the best of everyone, finds something good in every situation, and consequently draws friends, opportunities and supply toward him.

11. The grateful soul is always a satisfied soul. Drawing it Substance and Life from within, it is always complete.

12. The thankful soul is a productive soul. Living close the Source, it not only attracts more but produces more in every sphere of activity.

13. The grateful soul is a regenerative soul. In the consciousness of real gratitude, a healing force is always at work counteracting negative conditions.

14. The grateful soul is a balanced soul. In whole-soul gratitude, supply and demand are always equal.

15. The grateful soul is joyous.

The moment the emotion of gratitude touches you, your spirit lightens, your burden grows less and your smile comes more readily.

Stay Unstoppable,
