“Inside Self” Blog #122
What choices can give me a better life right now?
Where, when and how - Do my actions connect to my wants?
How much do I put off until tomorrow, knowing today is calling?
I am all alone in this house I live in. No one but me and house exists at this moment. If I
pick up something and move it, this validates my presence in the room. This shows me I
am right here, capable of so much more. So let’s go on…
I clear, rearrange and throw things away. Looking at the way in which I live, it makes sense
to have much less clutter now. Less mess to clean out. Less of a build up of “old stuff”
around me. All the things that have no more use, I must now discard. This is my way of
living my life with more peace. I don’t need to juggle thousands of balls inside of my mind.
I don’t need to find answers to every part of my life that has passed. There is a simpler
way now to live my life with crystal clear clarity. However, it does take a different sensibility
to make use of a bit more common sense.
I begin to reason carefully with my “self” now. I can say confidently, “today is the perfect
day to start looking deep inside self”. It is primetime now for this new awareness. Why?
Because I matter. I matter so much to HIM. HE wants me to see the only purpose of my
life is to be with HIM. To find comfort inside of me. This is truly where my “Higher Self”
resides and waits for me.
Every day I must live with myself. I go to sleep, I wake up and I am always with my same
needs and wants and ideas about my life. Yet there are always problems that creep in.
There are people who say hurtful words. There are situations that happen, with no clue
how to “fix”. There is stress all around me. So now I take a very deep breath. I see now
how important balance is to my life.
Therefore I desire to bring peace into my life regardless of all other conditions.
No special coming of age today, just an inner understanding that it is time. It is time to
find the most peace-filled, safest, loving way to live from this day forward.
Remember this, “When the student is ready, the teacher does appear!”
Therefore, if you and I are reading this, it is indeed our time for inner change. Very often
the easiest way to handle any situation inside “self” that is troubling, bothersome or
constantly repetitively worrisome, is this: Take a piece of paper and write down the
specific situation that is “plaguing the mind the most”.
Give self options of how to deal with it:
Ignore it completely. (hoping it will just fade away)
Leave it for tomorrow. (think of ways to solve it tomorrow)
Resolve it Here and Now. (always the best approach)
IF I choose “Here and Now” and the problem has to do with other people, as so often it does - I must remember this important. Rule of Life: every person is given free will -No one can interfere with another persons free will.
So I WRITE IT DOWN - I CAN SEND A LETTER - I can pray for a peaceful solution.
Then as alarming as it may sound, I see I have no control over any person. So, as I work “my plan” for inside self, I leave Jesus Christ to do the inner work of cleansing and clearing and healing. My job is to apply what I have learned.
Let Go. Learning a most important Fact of Life: Let Go of what I can’t fix.
Hearing all this, I see my own weakness and fear and fragility. HE is my help. Jesus is here, waiting for me to accept him and I do that. All prayers when prayed for our “highest good and the highest good of those concerned”.
THESE PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS ANSWERED. Taking a deep breath, this is inner self sense of mine now takes on a VERY free feeling. I am calm.
I once knew a man who stated, “I keep three books going at all times”. I read a true story,
a book of fiction and a book of faith”. He also constantly carried a small note pad and
pen with him every place he went. Even when he went to bed at night, he kept a little
tablet of paper and a pen right by his bed. Why do you think he did this? Because he
didn’t want to forget something important that may cross his mind!
Legacybox.com states, “Between 50,000 - 70,000 thoughts go through the average brain
on a daily basis! On an average day, we humans have from 45-50 thoughts racing
through our mind every single minute.” What possibly can make me calm myself down
now? One way to do this is just by focus. Focus on just the current moment and this is
called “Mindfulness”.
When I “Let Go” and allow self to not worry and trust all is right around me. My best friend
is Jesus Christ. HE is with me now. By understanding all of the above, my worry, concern
and stress are at bay. I just gave it to HIM. Inside me now, HE feeds me, frees me and
shows me instant faith. I am calm. Isn’t it time for an “inside Self” cleansing?
