Signs of Guidance

Yesterday for me was a day of subliminal noticing. How well was I matching up with what was around me: people, events, environment. When was it ‘easy’ and when did it feel like I was ‘working at it’ or feeling tight? Since I was ‘running around’ getting ready to leave town, it didn’t hit me until this morning. And it’s not that it’s different information than what I’ve been aware of, it’s that it fell into place in a much larger way, more of an overview.

My goal is to be different each day, to have a new ‘aha’ each day. For me, that comes with paying attention and recognizing what’s being given to me each day, be it ‘material’ that I can touch, or insights.

If we’re listening (without paying attention) to a negative chatter in our minds, we begin to believe that what it’s saying is true. That we really don’t know what to do, or how to be…that we are lacking something. And it seems true because those thoughts create those feelings, and the feelings are real…they do feel bad, and so seem to be reflecting the truth of who we are and what we can have or accomplish. But that’s not who we are.

So my invitation today is to notice something differently…even if you have to make it up or pretend. If we’re pretending anyway, why not have some fun with it?
