Words With Myself

What do you want? Why do you want it? Are you willing to pay the price required? If so, take action. If not, you need to work out if it is something you truly want and have a solid reason for why you want it. The universe is always listening. If you are giving it mixed messages, the universe will return by providing mixed opportunities. Alignment is key.

Control is largely, an illusion. We believe we can control our lives because we control a few variables. Despite our desperate attempts, fighting with ourselves and trying to impose our will onto the world is futile, even if it happens, it will leave us in ruins.

Onions have layers, Humans have layers. So does the ego it seems.
 
We can get really wrapped up in our sense of self sometimes, but when digging beneath the surface it can be hard to truly decipher where we begin and where we end, where the conditioning starts and finishes. Who are you? Are you happy with who you are? What made you the person you are today?

Stress affects different people in different ways. However, if you are not dealing with and managing your stress correctly, it can quickly metastasise into all sorts of issues. Illness, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue and a constant feeling of burnout are just some of the ways that stress can choose to manifest itself in your life if not properly managed.
 
Stress isn't so much an obvious feeling like anger, nor is it as easy to identify as many of us have become accustomed to our stress. It is important that we are aware of our stressors and our coping mechanisms so that we can identify and properly manage our stress to be healthy individuals.

Who Are You Really?

We identify with this perception of ourselves, this character curated for our consciousness to inhabit. But is that truly all you are, if you sit back and meditate it won't be long before you notice you are not the thinker of your thoughts, so who are you really?
