Lesson 273: Check In WEEK 39 - Knowing

I felt like this week was teaching me what to do when I didn’t know how to answer my question. It didn’t focus on intuition like I thought it would – trusting your own answers from within. I think initially it was good in telling me that if it feels right go with it and if it feels bad, then don’t, but I didn’t really think about what to do when I just didn’t have a feeling or an answer. If anything, the week clarified for me that you can definitely put questions on hold in order to get the right answer. Sometimes just putting it out in the Universe is all you need. I think it was good in learning that you don’t need to have the answer straight away and stepping aside might just be the trick to figuring it out.

Lesson 270: Turn Your Dilemma Into a Question

When we get overwhelmed because we don’t know the exact answer we need for our question, can we just ask another question? That is today’s lesson – asking another question that may lead to your outcome through some other way. Let’s say you got stuck on an activity for the weekend and you just can’t decide, could you ask yourself “what would make me feel nourished in my core?” to possibly answer that question? Or maybe “what’s something I haven’t done before?” because you might be wanting to try something new. Just because you get stuck, doesn’t mean you can’t get unstuck by thinking of another method to getting an answer. Whether you ask this of your higher self or you’re just asking the question to your conscious mind, there is always a way to find your answer.

My week has been challenging and filled with worry about what to do in one aspect of my life. Instead of pondering over it too much and not really knowing what I want to do, I decided that I needed to fill my weekend with something to do rather than think about this situation. I mean, my situation was talked about with my friends, but it gave me clarity on it also. I was going to do something good for myself and that was be around friends, and by talking about it with them, it gave me stronger answers on how to approach my situation. I felt like I didn’t need to think about it, as it ended up being my friends that helped answered the question for me.

I think this is a lesson of if you can just let something go for the moment, you can gain clarity by revisiting it in another way. I think it’s good in those moments you overwhelm your mind and taking a step back can make all the difference. Do you agree?

Day 268 - A Year to Clear - Follow Your Knows

Lesson 268: Follow Your Knows

Today’s lesson is about following what you know. I feel like it’s following your intuition or gut feeling. Basically, Stephanie Bennett Vogt lives by an easy tool:

• If it feels right, I do it.

• If it doesn't feel right, I don't do it.

• If I don't know, I wait until I know.

Personally, I sometimes forget to trust my instincts. Usually when I don’t follow that feeling, I get mad at myself for not following my own knowing. It usually ends with me getting into a messy situation or having to back track and re-do a task.

I think the lesson is simple and a reminder of just following what feels right. When people try to talk you out of something, keep following your own feelings. I think it can be a trap when people are coercing you or trying to convince you to do something that you don’t necessarily want to do.

I needed this reminder today. It’s so simple but effective.

Lesson 267: Your Inner Knowing

“Because these occurrences seem to arrive unbidden and don’t fit into our rationalist view of the world, we usually discount them or forget about them. But we’re missing a big opportunity. Because with or without our conscious agreement, just below the surface of our lives, this boundless abiding intelligence quietly sits and waits for us to recognize it.”

— Belleruth Naparstek

New week equals a new theme of “Knowing”. I think this week will be about intuition and trusting it. I think it’s about recognising your inner truth and allowing it to unfold. I think we miss opportunities when we don’t trust instincts or that voice in your head. Based on the quite, I believe this is what the week will bring. Thoughts?
