Essay: "Why am I feeling like this"
"Why am I feeling like this?"
The reason you are feeling "down" is that you are not following your
inner truth.
When you don't feel like doing something, it is much better for you to do what you really feel like doing. This will serve you much better and keep your energy at a high peak, instead of letting it drain because you are going against the flow. I know you understand this.
When you do something with a negative attitude or in a negative
(resentful) frame of mind, you will get the same kind of results on a energy level. As you sow, so shall you reap.
Learn to listen to and heed the small voice within. When you sense that you really don't feel like doing something... stop and ask yourself what you really would like to do at this time. Then if at all possible... do that which your heart truly desires. Don't let your mind or reason dictate what you are to do.
Follow the quiet promptings of your heart. The heart knows best. Have you not been told this before?
Remember to fulfill your heart's desires. Usually these are not such big things that are impossible to do. Sometimes it is simply to go outside and smell the roses... The saying does go "Don't go through life so fast you forget to smell the roses..."
Did you take time to smell the roses today?
Did you stop to chat with a friend?... Or were you too busy...
Did you take time to admire the beautiful perfection of the blue sky, or the shape of the clouds?
And how about admiring the beauty that you are?
Another reason you do not feel at your utmost level of energy is the
food you eat... You need to keep "alive energy" in your cells and to do so must put in food which is also alive.
You need to slow down and take the time to prepare your food lovingly, or have someone else prepare it lovingly, and then stop and feed your body lovingly.
Take the time to sit down and eat instead of standing and eating "on the go". Your body carries you around throughout the day. It deserves to be treated with respect and love. It deserves some gratefulness for the work it is doing.
You sometimes only look at the dark side of your being... yes there is a pimple on your forehead... so what! Did you notice the healthy glow to your cheeks... or the beautiful smile, or the vibrant and healthy mane of hair?
Please! Stop and take time to love yourself.
Take time to do things for yourself.
Take time to listen to your heart and follow its guidance.
Don't override the voice that speaks within. It is there to serve you, to provide you with happiness at all times. When you override its feelings, it's like hanging up the phone on a friend. You would never do that would you? Well don't hang up on your inner voice. Its only desire is to help you attain that state of perfect happiness that you so desire.
Stop and pay attention.
Look around you.
And listen to the messages that come to you.
