Tag: Follow Your Gut

For the last week my sister Nicole and I have been driving around the lower part of the UK. We’ve been down to the Southwest of England and up to the top of Wales to the mountains of Snowdonia, and over to the East Midlands where I am staying until October. During these drives, the scenery, the people, the spontaneous ‘squirrel’ moments that we share… there is a common bond. We both enjoy life as much as we can. I’ve noticed these aspects in her and it has helped me feel like I am on the right track, that I’m really not a bad person and that I do have something to contribute to this world,

I have been cruel to myself for so many years that it is sometimes hard to pull myself out of this emotional gutter. As soon as anything goes wrong in my life I ask myself what I’ve done wrong? I’ve worked hard throughout the years to conquer this feeling by balancing it, by helping others whenever and however I can. As a writer, a singer, I do my best to bring out words that will help others think, that will make others feel like they matter.

The thoughts of ‘I don’t matter’ have been painstakingly replaced with ‘I do matter’. I say painstakingly because when you grow up in an environment of believing that you aren’t good enough, trying to turn that around seems like you are being selfish. Even though I don’t go down this deep dark hole that I used to go down, I do still feel that stabbing pain, as dull as it might feel now, it is still there.

Like attracts Like.

It’s imperative for us to look at our relationships. They are mirrors of ourselves. If we expect that somebody is going to take us away from all of our buried bullshit, think again. There is an old saying that I repeat to myself over and over again when encountering new relationships, or people in my life… You cannot attract what you are not.

Whatever vibration that we hold within ourselves is what will come into our lives. If we have a spiteful, hateful, and cruel vibration then that same vibration will enter our lives. [go to my webpage davidreedwatson.com to read the full transcript]

You cannot attract what you are not.

Whatever vibration that we hold within ourselves is what will come into our lives. If we have a spiteful, hateful, and cruel vibration then that same vibration will enter our lives. We have many different kind of relationships; friends, lovers, business partners, co-workers, family… all of which are different. Start gravitating towards the relationships that make you feel like you are on the right path. That is a good start.

Peace!

Today’s card is the Princess of Cups.

The dreamer!

There is something to be said about being spontaneous. You’re usually not thinking, you are just acting. It’s a realm I live in as much as I can. The romantic in me sees each new adventure as something magical, and because I have this child-like wonderment built into me there isn’t a whole lot that really bothers me… usually when something does bother me it is pretty short lived.

What I am learning to do is take these dreams inside of me and really feel them, I’m doing my best not to brush them off as pipe-dreams or silly childish aloofness. By feeling these feelings I am manifesting them into reality. Meditation helps this. I do this best when on a bicycle, or hiking. My heart is beating, my breath is heavy, but I’m smiling and manifesting my dreams into reality.

There are people in our life that will tell us this is a ridiculous way to live. That our aloofness will get nothing really done in society. I’m learning this to be a false idea. Believe me, I’ve played the roll of ‘responsible’ and it has only made me miserable.

Does this mean to fuck off and shirk whatever responsibilities you might have in the ‘real world’? No, not at all. It’s saying just not to ‘adult’ all the time. Find that inner child and make sure you nurture it with love and kindness. You will have a much fuller life, you will be happy, the people around you will be happy, it will be a win-win for everybody.

Today, make some free-time in your ‘adulting’ and let your imagination roam. Feel it. Cry if you need to. Even if it’s only for a 5min break in your work day. No need to tell anybody about it, just do it.

Peace!

Speak only if it improves upon the Silence – Mahatma Gandhi

As spiritual beings we are always seeking further enlightenment. We take in a lot of information and make sure that we don’t get too invested in one idea or another. Being open to new concepts and ideas is imperative to growth.

Where a lot of us fall short is when we find an idea that works we don’t trust our own instincts, thinking that someone else has a better idea than you. It’s ok to be the student but at some point we also have to be the teacher. If we are not then people are going to start walking away. They are going to tire of your obsessive questioning of everything and of yourself.

This is telling us to trust what we have learned and to use these tools AND at the same time, stay open and fluid to know ideas and concepts.

Here is something that I’m learning the I Hope might help you as well. I have a tendency to talk everything through as I’m developing an idea or concept. Not all that listen are going to understand this. They might become afraid that you’re a scatterbrain or that you don’t trust your own self and they are going to naturally give you advice or run like hell. It’s ok to be inquisitive. It’s ok to be unsure. But make sure you are doing it with people that are aware that they are in the confines of this developmental debate.

What I’m saying is this… as Gandhi mentioned above. Give an idea time to develop inside of your head before blabbing it all over the world, and once you’ve developed it be confident in what you say.

Peace!
