Trying to keep your mind free while holding on to a dream is how you achieve the most but it can be a bit tricky. Trusting yourself when moving forward is important because it is very hard to stay true to a thought, dream or belief when we are constantly bombarded with a hundred different things to believe in that can make us change course. There is an ocean full of opportunities out there and getting clear about what we want is the first step to actually living our dream life.

Getting stuck in between two thoughts and having to decide what you want to believe in is hard sometimes. All the decisions that are out there for us to make it hard to follow through with our original plans because there is always something coming up on the horizon that can change the whole game. It could be everything from easy everyday topics to life-changing decisions that make us freeze and rethink what we want.

How do I know what I want?

We all have that instinct that makes us feel either peaceful or a bit weird and which we really can’t put our finger on. It is rooted deep down in our own nature to be able to feel when something is right and when something is wrong. That gut instinct is always trying to speak to us but sometimes it is hard to hear it through all the noise that is going on in our lives.

Flipping a coin over a decision is a great way to get in touch with your inner self. You might have felt that energy that is trying to speak to you when you get the heads instead of the tails. That feeling of excitement when the coin is up in the air and you find yourself wishing for the coin to land on the side you have on your mind. It’s a great way to learn to trust the voice within you. You will get better at it and in time you won’t need that coin because you will learn to listen to your inner emotions.

I would love to hear how you make decisions. Do you trust your gut? Leave a comment in the section below.

Time.

We long, we look back, we mourn it, we enjoy it.
It’s the little moments.
It moves us, keeps us going.
We forget, we grow.
It’s all around us but we can never grab it.
Seize the moment they say.
From a kid to a boy to a man.
It creates, it destroys.
The only thing keeping us alive, we take it for granted.
It is our friend, our ally, our enemy, our biggest fear.
We think we have control, it’s everything.
We focus, try to learn but it moves us away from the truth.
It’s all we really have but yet we can´t touch it.
From a little girl to a woman to a lady.
From the cradle to the grave.
Time.

After all the lessons life has taught me I still find myself feeling lost in this world looking for some kind of truth to save me. I found that time is the answer to all my prayers. When I am happy I want it to pass slow, when I am sad I just want it to pass by fast. I feel stuck in it when I am trying to figure out where to go. I feel like it is teasing me when I am all alone. Sometimes I am chasing it and all I want is a bit more time to feel everything and sometimes I need it to vanish into thin air and take me and my thoughts with it.

All I know for sure is that we will never truly know anything until we lose it all. We will never find ourselves if we don’t lose ourselves and we will never appreciate our time here on earth if we never waste it on trying to find a little piece of heaven.

Isn’t it scary how memories can paralyze us so much in certain moments? I have been feeling stuck lately and I think it is because I have been thinking too much of the past. I have been worried about the future and feeling a bit scared that it will be just like the past which is exactly what I have been wanting to avoid.

The real scary part is that if we don’t learn to live with peace in our thoughts they can try to destroy us. I believe we all at some point in our lives are going to ask ourselves what we did wrong and how we ended up where we are. Maybe we try to heal through shopping, therapy or food, we want to fill up the empty holes and forget our bad memories. Oftentimes that is the fear who is taking us out of our present to try to do some damage to our lives. Whenever you find yourself trying to escape a feeling remember that it could be the fear that is trying to take control of your mind.

Breaking that cycle of negative thinking and stepping away from the fearful state is how you get back to your own self again. It is a simple step to take but it can feel impossible to do when fear has you paralyzed.

You have to be able to feel the fear, let it be and accept it in order to find peace. Only when you acknowledge the things that scare you will it go away. Feeling the fear in a moment is like ripping off a band-aid and usually, the thought of it is scarier than the actual act. For the fear to go away you have to be able to be honest about what scares you. So that you can face it and move on.

Do you allow yourself to feel what is actually scaring you in your life? Have you been going through something similar lately where you felt stuck? I would love to hear how you face your fears and hopefully how you overcome them. Leave a comment in the section below.

I try my hardest to control my thoughts so that I won’t get upset but sometimes everything just needs to get out. I can endure a lot of pain and like most women, I hold everything in and try to hide my true emotions when I get sad. Sometimes I don’t know what I am feeling, I just walk around with a tense feeling in my chest, my mind goes blank and my body feels numb. When that happens I know I have a problem that needs fixing.

Crying is how the healing starts, it releases so many blocks and everything you have been denying gets clear and you can’t hide behind your smile anymore. The release can feel intense sometimes but the rewards afterward is clarity and a serene feeling of peace that lets you know that everything will be alright again.

I always forget to remember that nothing lasts forever and it can seem like it is only going to get worse but the changes we need to go through in life are led to us by our emotions. Whenever I am feeling scared or when I feel like I am on the wrong path that is often when I am learning and growing the most.

So, don’t be afraid to cry a little or a lot…

Have you been through something similar lately? What do you do when you feel sad? I would love to hear what your tips are for moving through the pain. Leave a comment in the section below.
