Do you feel all mixed up?
Feeling confused and unable to process your emotions? Or not sure what to believe and from who and what to do about it? More importantly struggling to make sense out of right and wrong inside you?
At times like these it’s easy to look outside yourself for the answers. Going over everything that’s happened and who is involved and acting all Sherlock Holmes in detecting how on Earth you have ended so mixed up and all over the place.
But, it’s not on the outside where you will discover the real reason your head is spinning. It’s on the inside. And that’s why you keep bouncing around feeling you know why one minute your emotions are on a rollercoaster ride and then the very next moment you’re brought right back to Earth without a clue. The good news is there’s nothing wrong with you. Your are just so trapped in a mixture of everyone else’s views, opinions, standards, and values that you can’t see the wood for the trees to be able to get to your own.
Knowing Yourself.
When you were growing up all manner of people gave you advice and insight on how to best live life – parents, family, authority figures like teachers or coaches, peer groups, friends, even your local community and society itself. Without realising it you absorbed this like a sponge without ever asking yourself how YOU believed life should be lived. YOUR beliefs, standards, values, and principles got put on the backburner meaning knowing yourself took a back seat.
Trouble is you can’t switch off those you own even if they are deep within you. They are part of you, they are your DNA, your blueprint as a human, your emotional centre. If you don’t open them up and connect to them they sit in the background whispering and bothering you but YOU NEVER KNOW WHY.
Suddenly situations develop and you don’t know what to make of them. What you have been taught simply doesn’t fit with what’s before your eyes and as you haven’t honoured (or perhaps were allowed to in the past!) your personal ethics and moral compass, you end up all mixed up unsure of which way up or down is or where to turn for good or bad.
A Beautiful Mix.
So unmix yourself. Now is the time to get back to you. To finally accept what matters most to you from standards to behaviours, choices to actions, feelings to have and the way to treat others. Knowing yourself is the best relationship you can ever have in your life. And the one that will solve pretty much any problem you could ever have.
Prioritise the right way to live and be that feels right within you. Take onboard the well meaning input of others since you were born, but it’s firmly all about your self awareness of right and wrong as a person living THEIR life that is the key.
Because your are the perfect mix of human emotions and preferences and viewpoints that make you…well, YOU.
And that’s the only person you ever have to be!!
