If your life, relationships, job or body seemingly aren't working, what message is there for you?
No matter what, there is always a message or lesson in what is happening (or not happening) in our lives.
If you are doing what you love and getting what you want out of life, the message might be that you are clear in your purpose and to continue in the direction you are moving. Likewise, it may be that by doing what you love, you will get what you need and want.
What is the message your life, mind, body or spirit is trying to share with you if things aren't amazing or if you aren't getting what you want? For me, whenever I recognize that I'm dissatisfied with something, I also recognize it is an opportunity for greater understanding and awareness, an opportunity to change what I'm thinking or how I'm behaving in order to create something that better matches what I want to experience.
Our mind, body and spirit all have one goal - of living a happy, healthy life. If this isn't happening for you, your mind, body or spirit will let you know through a variety of unpleasant mental, emotional or physical cues. These cues may come in all kinds of forms ranging from frustration to anger, sadness to depression, a headache to a broken leg, or even events and situations in our lives. Whatever the signal, you will likely experience it as some sort of dissatisfaction or discomfort.
If you are experiencing dissatisfaction, the presence of this dissatisfaction is your mind, body or spirit's way of telling you its time for you to make adjustments to how you are thinking, how you are living, what you are doing, and/or who you are being.
There are two important elements to what I just said...
The first is that
something needs to change. If nothing changes, the dissatisfaction will stay, too.
The second part is that
you are responsible for making the necessary changes. It isn't the outside world that needs to change to make you happy (even though we often want it to) -
you need to change something in what you are believing, thinking, doing, or being. This doesn't mean you are wrong, bad or messed up. It merely means that
you get to honor of being one person capable of and responsible for creating the experience you want. Wow, you hold incredible power!
What messages are your life, mind, body and/or spirit currently giving you?
How are you listening to these messages? With criticism, guilt, and anger or with love, compassion and forgiveness?
What are you willing to do in order to experience more satisfaction?
