When You Don't Know What You Want

When you are going through a time of change or something in your life has caused a lot of suffering, you can quickly fall into self-doubt and uncertainty. Confidence can wane and there can be a big “oh my gawd, I have no idea where I’m going or what I’m basing it all on.”

During these times, I would say it is uber-important to stop, be still and sit with yourself. You need to tune into your heart, instead of the mind, and ask yourself: “what does my heart want?” Let whatever arises in your awareness to just be there. You can even write it down and see what your heart wants to express. Even if it seems simple like “take a nap” or “cry” or “go to the gym”, you will be surprised at how much it energizes, fulfills and directs you in ways you may never have realized if you just followed your mind’s strategies.

You see, the mind is full of fears, ego hopes, planning and needs for approval. It has its place in your life, but after you are in tune with your heart’s needs.

A common spiritual teaching is to let the mind be the servant of the heart, rather than the other way around.  This is what will lead to the greatest peace, magic and sense of purpose in your life. Otherwise you risk ending up with empty goals that can constantly disappoint you and cause you frustration.

See if you can try this checking in with the heart practice every day. The more you do it, the more natural it becomes.
