But sometimes that means that you have to suppress what you know is the real person inside.
And yet, your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you'll ever have. Without a healthy relationship with yourself, it's practically impossible to have healthy relationships with anyone else.
If you're ready to get re-acquainted with someone you haven't seen in a while ? yourself ? start with these 5 ideas to help you rediscover the real you.
Quiet the noise in your head.
You know those voices well, the ones that are constantly nagging you to pick up the dry cleaning, talk to the school teacher, juggle the bills, schedule the vet, keep the boss happy. With all that noise going on, it will be impossible for you to hear anything above the din. This MUST be the first step. How do you do that? By setting up systems, simplifying, and establishing enough extras in your life to allow you to operate from a position of abundance, instead of lack.
Practice thinking about yourself in healthy ways.
In order to do that, you must first believe that you are valuable, and your Real Self has something to offer the world. Since you talk to yourself more than everyone else in your life combined --that's a lot of talk!?it's up to YOU to establish the healthy communication in your thinking. Consciously listen to how you talk to yourself; write down the unhealthy things you say; challenge them; and replace them with facts. Self-Talk: ?You never do anything right.? Challenge: ?Of course I do things right. I did (example) right. I did (example) right. This time, I just made a mistake. I'll learn from it and have better success next time.?
Listen to your heart.
Sounds easy enough, but by the time we're adults, most of us have stopped listening to our hearts and go only with our heads. Those two must reconnect in order to find your real self. It's easy to become accustomed to thinking about your feelings instead of really feeling them. Instead of asking yourself what you think about something, ask why it's important.
Be careful not to get hung-up on a specific goal.
What you're really after is a feeling -- respect, love, appreciation - as opposed to the company car, or a great guy/girl. Keep an open mind to the feelings, and be willing to adjust the methods you use to achieve them. Determine not just your goals, but how it satisfies who you really are. The mask will come off and your real self will come shining through.
A person you can know and love - you! - is waiting for you to take the time to listen and understand and accept. When you accept your Real Self again, you'll make smarter choices, and those choices will stick because they actually fit who you are. Now, that's what you're really looking for, isn't it?
Find Your Real Age
One of the first things that she mentions is her own search for meaning. Although she states she was an atheist, and her idea that the human body was worth only $2.94 before inflation, I think she was searching. That is my own opinion'no one elses. I really think it takes an incredible amount of faith to be an atheist.
Anyway, back to the original. She said she 'was dragged' to a lecture where she heard "You are a special enterprise on the part of God" and she knew in her spirit and soul that that statement was correct. That began a search for the truth. As can be expected, she found that she really and truly is 'a special enterprise on the part of God.'
God created us in His image and after His likeness and supplied us with everything we need to stand on our own feet. He even gave us 'free will' which the vast majority of us misuse horribly. The results of our misuse of our free will is evident all around us. We accept what others say and do and then blame them when our life doesn't work. We act like we are not respond-sible for what has happened to us. Or some of us just say "It is God's will" when we are the ones who did what we wanted, when we wanted, how we wanted and to whom we wanted. She reinterates that both ideas are wrong.
God gave each of us a Self-consciousness. Most of us don't use it the way He intended. We are. It isn't what we do'we just are. We are supposed to live as a child of God - not a child of fear. We are given the power to create a life of abundance and most of us do not do that.
The thing that really impressed me about this article was that she was able to define to the detail what we need to do to live an abundant, healthy life. She discussed in detail the parts of the mind-conscious, subconscious, and super-conscious. She describes how each functions and how to become an integrated human being.
I think the one thing that I really liked about her article was how much she stressed that our resentments have such a major control over our life. She talked about how to get to the bottom of them and get rid of them. Once we have eliminated the resentments, we can teach ourselves to think properly which is NOT with negative garbage. We need to learn to live in a state of NOW because, in actuality, now is all we have.
She talks about relaxation and meditation and where to find the good stuff to meditate on. She reaffirms to me that most of us really do attract what we don't want because we focus on what we don't want and what we focus on becomes reality. It cannot be otherwise. If I want garbage I focus on garbage. If I don't want it I don't focus on it. If I focus on how much I owe others it gets bigger and bigger. If I focus on what I can give to others, that gets bigger and bigger.
Her last paragraph is powerful I think: "Always remember one thing. You need no intermediary between you and your God. Your God knows you, but you have not as yet known your God. Go find Him, and you will then discover that you really are 'a special enterprise on the part of God.'"
