I know we can't always just decide to stay home from work and we don't want to disappoint people by not celebrating with them but there other ways to heed the advise of our bodies without checking out for an entire day.
One way to get in touch with our bodies messages is through meditation. Everyone is different but I find that first thing in the morning when my thoughts are clear and it is the start of a brand new day that I am the most susceptive to the inner communications of my body, mind and soul.
I read once that if you get out of the house within the first fifteen minutes of waking up, you will have more clarity and energy throughout your day. So this is another version of the early morning meditation. When your alarm goes off jump out of bed and take yourself for a walk. Honor yourself with a slow pace and an open mind and take in all of the city, beauty or nature that surrounds you. There can be messages in our surroundings too if we are open to hearing and seeing them.
Sometimes when I need inner advise I pick up my favorite book, I ask a simple question and then I open it up to whatever page my eyes fall upon and I start reading. It's funny, it's far-fetched and somewhat implausible but nine out of ten times therein lies the answer. It may not be the answer we want but chances are it's the advise that could be in our best interest.
Another experiment to try is to lay quietly at night before you go to sleep and get in your place of intention. Think about what it is you need an answer to. Don't stress over it just let the thoughts flow through your mind and then think of the question you need answered. Once you have asked your question, graciously ask yourself to present you the answer. Politely and quietly to ask yourself that you wake up with the answer. That you remember what you need to know and that you remember what you dream so you can find the message in it when you wake up.
As we all know, the Universe will always give us what we ask of it. So we should always be careful what we ask for. We don't always get what we think we want but chances are the reply will be exactly what we need. The lessons are always the hardest when we are in the moment but the freedom that comes from this kind of acceptance is invigorating. Follow through. Chances are you won't be disappointed.
Maybe it's time to get rid of all the wanting. If we are too busy always wanting and needing all these other things then we are cluttering up our mind and making it impossible to hear. If we are going to be courageous enough to take the step into listening to our life then we must be daring enough to hear what is being said and trust in our intuition.
Being the W Chaser that I am, I guess it was inevitable to learn that the real answers, my truth would come from within. I have so much to be thankful for.
And in all honesty, if we are not happy with what we have, what makes us think we will be happy with more?
