I find that when my clients are most confused about their direction in life and think they can’t figure out what they should do next, the biggest problem is fear. Aren’t we all at least a little bit afraid right now? So many changes going on in the world, in our lives. Time feels like it is speeding up. ” Yikes, how will I be able to make it? How can I do what I really want to do and still make a living? WHAT do I really want to do anyway?”
If you resonate with any of this, what are you doing to help yourself? Lots of people will have answers for you — but are they YOUR answers? What do you think the real problem is? Remember President Roosevelt during World War II, which was a pretty scary time for a few years, even though most of you weren’t born yet. He said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” How true is that! What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Do you even recognize in what way you are afraid? There is guidance for all of us. Why are we afraid to listen? You could say “spiritual guidance” — or not. I don’t like particularly the word “spiritual” because it can associate to vagueness, ungroundedness, or is just a catch-all like the “spiritual but not religious” category on the dating sites. What does that mean to you, really? Maybe there is no right word– but there is a force and a connection in you that will lead you home, to a solid “yes, that’s it!” For me, it is best accessed by first sitting in silence and following my breath, not my thoughts. Just to give a little break in the endless thoughtstream so I’m more open. Then I may ask a question.
I doubt anyone has the total answer for anyone else today. We all must find out how to get to guidance and truth ourselves, whether it is asking Jesus, talking to the Goddess, being in Nature, journaling, sitting in silence, or being with a supportive friend who does NOT give us advice. It is wonderful if we can support each other to find our own answers. What works for you?
