Mind Matters

Make friends with the pesky little voice that jumps in at the most random times to remind you of how you were guilty of this or that or how you don’t measure up to what you want to do!! The little voice that becomes louder as we move on with our path or when we reach crossroads where decisions loom! They stand there waiting to give their opinion which is mostly negative it has to be said lol. It brings you down a peg or two and leaves you deflated especially if you are excited by new prospects or have a drive to try something completely new!

As we move through a Grand cross in the heavens and towards a new moon at the weekend in Taurus we feel so many emotions rising to be let go of but also the baggage of old is still coming to mind perhaps and we are not yet in the rhythm of a new way we are merely trying to find our feet and learn to dance again! A battle weary self stands at the crossroads and looks back and then ahead and while nostalgia hits like an intoxicating mix now and again the drive to move on is stronger for us now.

But then comes the little voice …a quiet little whisper that says ‘really’. Are you sure? Are you cut out for this? Who do you think you are! But remember you said you would never do this? Or even..you are lousy lol!!! So many put downs that you manage to talk yourself out of not even trying.

Now we are being asked to make friends with a part of us we try to push down or even drown out for fear of hearing our worst fears!!! We judge ourselves from it. We judge others even. But most of all it keeps us playing small. It keeps us playing out that we have to be seen or be something big to be happy and if we aren’t we have failed!! Now is the time to take hold of this concept of acceptance of ourselves first and without judgment we make friends with this noisy and nosy little friend who thinks people are out to get you or who is so biased there is no room for thinking outside the box!

It will take time as this little friend is like part of the undeveloped brain…a little cauliflower that never got cooked lol…See it with sympathy for never looking on the bright side of life and how it has no friend only you!!!

Dress it up as a little character and even put a little red hat and neckerchief on it! See it walking beside you in any image you can imagine – even a cartoon character you liked as a child!

And of course the next time you are driven by passion or empathy to make decisions for yourself and you hear their voice of ‘oh but remember you have never done that before what if you no good..’take their little hand and walk with them a while. Leave them somewhere you see from your past especially if childhood image come up for you! And say to them look stay here and I will listen to you later!!! And feel yourself shedding the heaviness in your mind just let it go and do what you need!

Later on when decisions have been made or exciting experiences have happened for you think of that little character and smile at them and see their sad little face brighten. That part of you is just fear that has been programmed to walk you through gateways but a part of you that you didn’t acknowledge as you. Once you do they become the gatekeeper but will need to be acknowledged as representing old paths learned by you to fear moving forward but they hold the key to opening every door once you see them as a small memory of childhood growing you may need to embrace as You – and suddenly their voice is not so loud or negative.
