With your mind or your heart?
Happily and honestly, I can say that I’ve come a LONG ways
from where I started.
The story I told myself was that I was always “thinking”
through everything. --Think through this, think that over, think, think, and
think. Even when I didn’t want to think, my mind would be thinking of
something. My mind seemed as if it never stopped, and became even worse when I laid
down to go to sleep. But, somewhere over time, I know that I’ve blogged about my
monkey mind fuck and how it seemed as if it was in control. AND at that time, for
me… it was. Past tense… celebrate that!!!!!! Wahoo!!!!!!!
For all of those years, and even now, I still catch myself “thinking”
things through from time to time. BUT I have a grip on the mind chatter. With
some help from the gate and conscience awareness and effort, I am awesome at keeping
it in check. However, just recently at the last gate, Donny shared “let you mind
and heart switch places” How would that change your life? -Whoa did that
resonate with me.
First of all, in my triad, my drain is perception.
Perception
Sensations, emotions, feelings and the
reason why you or someone else is feeling these things are a source of pain,
stress or at least uncertainty. You obsess over the worst possible outcome and
meanings. You beat yourself up by focusing on the things that make you feel
crappy and you are overly concerned with either what others think of you or how
you make others feel. Focusing on your perceptions of what you or someone else
is feeling and why often causes fear, confusion, anger, frustration, guilt,
worry and/or doubt.
Meaning that whenever I “think” about something, I’m automatically
draining my energy.
So, the concept of leading with my heart created questions
for me.
What does that mean?
What does that feel like?
How do you lead with your heart?
Leading with my heart. What?
So I reached out to others; gather their perspectives. I
wanted to become clearer on the meaning of what that truly meant. I questioned
how that was possible for me.
In talking to others and becoming more aware, I realized
that I was already living with my heart. I may have placed it in a different
context, but the bottom line is that I was already doing it. AGAIN…
Celebrate!!!! Wahoo!!!!!
To shift the consciousness and be vitally aware of something
that I was already doing was huge for me. A relief, and release of doubt that
was making me question myself; my moral compass of how I was living my life.
Thank you Donny for giving me the gifts of new awareness’s.
Understanding that I am the change, and life is truly love.
Love and Light!
