You might want to consider whether you are placing unrealistic expectations on yourself or expecting results too soon. A review of your goals might allow you to see how hard you have been working. If you can then engage in positive self-talk, you will infuse yourself with a dose of confidence in your abilities.
Rather than trying to accomplish everything at once and draining your energy in the process, you might want to put a new plan into effect that allows you to see steady, consistent progress over a longer period of time. Split your goals into baby steps.
Our willingness to release our expectations and focus on enjoying each step of our journey will allow us to make steady, consistent progress toward our goals. We often get attached to a certain outcome and feel the need to control every aspect of our process. If we can release our expectations about how things need to go and approach our goals with optimism and an open mind, we can be focused and relaxed. Though our results may not be as dramatic or immediate as we initially expected, we can feel good about our gradual progress. Before long, we will have accomplished our goals without draining our energy.
Releasing your unrealistic expectations and adopting a more realistic, steady plan will allow you to accomplish all your desires with ease.
Exploring the Self
A craving for a deeper knowledge of the self can lead you to engage in exploratory activities. Even if you seldom pursue introspective activities, you may feel driven to learn more about who you are and who you wish to become. This can be a wonderful time to delve beneath the surface aspects of your personality and character in order to discover what is motivating your inner- and outer-world choices. You may find that you have trouble moving beyond the first few layers of your conscious mind. By proceeding slowly, you can assuage any fears you might have about what you will discover when your knowledge of self becomes increasingly complete.
When we understand the importance of both our surface-level selves and the aspects of the self that lie buried deeply beneath that surface, we are equipped to embark upon a journey of self-discovery that encompasses the whole being rather than just a single element of it. Upon coming face-to-face with a blockage-emotional or otherwise-we can either continue to probe in the knowledge that there are layers beneath we have yet to access, or we can move on to some new part of ourselves with the intention of delving deeper in order to approach the issue from an alternate angle. What we discover will fascinate as well as enlighten us, as we come to see how complex and intriguing we truly are. As you dig below the surface, you will find much to occupy your curious mind.
Beliefs and Values
Our intense dedication to the beliefs and values important to us can often undermine our efforts to expand ourselves through education.
As intrigued as we are by the philosophical ideals embraced by other cultures, we sometimes cannot help but compare them unfavorably to our own. We can avoid this pitfall by committing ourselves to a path of non-judgmental observation in which we endeavor only to take in information.
Though we may choose not to integrate our discoveries into our individual ideologies, we can nonetheless appreciate how profoundly important certain concepts and ideas are to the people who have taken them to heart and adopted them as elements of their value systems. We learn so much about the world around us when we put aside our personal feelings and observe without passing a verdict on that which we survey.
Reconnect with your Inner Self
If you begin to feel disconnected from your inner self today, you may need to spend time away from the world to get centered and grounded.
Look for opportunities to be alone so you can reflect on your life. The uncertainty that may have been plaguing you will be replaced by feelings of security and serenity.
Meditating or journaling can also be effective ways to reconnect with yourself and remember your worth.
Taking the time to periodically reconnect with your inner self can help you stay firm about your values and affirm your self-worth. The world can be a very distracting place, and our interactions with others can cause us to forget ourselves or temper the traits and ideals that make us unique. Make time for quiet reflection so you can remember that you are a beautiful soul with one-of-a-kind gifts to offer the world. When you acknowledge your value, your uniqueness will emerge, and events that had caused you to doubt yourself will no longer have an effect on you. A short period of introspection may be all you need to remember your worth.
Conscientiousness in breathing
This can be done by setting the intention to do your work mindfully and with attention to detail by using breath awareness as a tool to help you. Notice your breath and how you are breathing. If it is shallow, it may be an indication that you need to focus on slowing down and becoming more careful.
Breath is a powerful tool that we can use to become more cognizant of what we are doing. When we are caught up in moment, it is easy for our minds to become scattered and preoccupied. Adjusting our breathing to become slower and steadier lets our minds also slow down and more readily perceive what we are doing in the moment, which in turn allows us to work with greater awareness.
Decisions
A dull veil of uncertainty can cloud your eyes, causing you to feel distresses each time you are faced with a decision. Because you likely cannot envision the path leading toward your eventual fulfillment, you may have no idea as to how to achieve your objectives in the present. Remedying this confusion will likely be a matter of your adopting a more proactive attitude toward the many choices before you.
Confusion and uncertainty vanish in the face of decisiveness, even if the choices being made are relatively unimportant. When we are unsure as to how best to proceed as we deal with complex and challenging matters, we may begin to believe that we are incapable of making any sort of decision at all. In such a situation, we can overcome the self-doubt paralyzing us by making minor choices decisively until our confidence has returned. The success of these small decisions serves to remind us that we are indeed capable of acting as captains of our own ship.
We eventually learn to view large, potentially life-changing choices as being well within the realm of our understanding and abilities. The decisions you must make to achieve your objectives will become clear to you when you are decisive in other areas of your existence.
Consciousness of Abundance
One good way to overcome feelings of lack is to turn your thoughts around and focus on abundance.
You may wish to engage in a period of powerful visualization in order to get your thoughts flowing in the right direction.
Simply find a private place to be alone and get into a meditative state of mind. As you feel peace and relaxation flowing throughout your body, begin to think about the blessings and wealth you have in your life. Think about the additional wealth and security you wish to attract, affirm that it already exists in some form, and invite it into your life.
By affirming that we already have a life full of abundance, we automatically begin attracting more of it into our lives. Our first reaction when experiencing lack is to focus on what we do not have, which only attracts more of the same experiences into our lives. If we instead choose to consciously turn our thoughts around and focus on abundance with a sense of confidence and surety that it is on its way to us, we put forth energy that will attract similar energy in the form of wealth and blessings. By consistently keeping a mind-set of abundance today and beyond, you will affirm to the universe that you are ready to embrace the blessings you attract.
