The inner voice

Last night, I realized that in more recent years, I was not the best communicator to myself. This approach of course, allows for static interference with your inner voice. 

I've always known that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...that's a biblical principle and when I've been spot on with prayer in my life I've often done so while speaking out loud to God.  My mom says that back in the islands when she was growing up and circumstances were bothersome they would talk the trees or skip stones. Imagine that concept? Wow (wonder of wonders) there would be nothing to hear answer you among the trees except, your inner voice. And often, that was how they found resolution to their problems. Plenty of connection to the Divine.

In our western society we find ourselves so busy with our everyday lives -work, kids, fast, malls, bustle, cars, lights, noise - and so connected to our technology that we no longer make the time to connect to ourselves. To figure ourselves out. To connect with our higher self. Otherwise known as the Spirit of God that lives in everyone of us.  

Instead, we get stressed out when the pressure begins to grow and begin to act out in the most inappropriate ways. Usually diving into counterproductive behaviour or the big one and my favourite... the visit to the doctor thinking something is mentally wrong and we fall prey to the diagnosis and a prescription.  

So, I was reviewing the course of my life yesterday on the prompting of my inner voice and I realized that throught the course of my life....everytime I took the time to give utterance to my thoughts and speak out loud in prayer mostly or at least intention to make something happen and taken at step into believing that God was going to deliver "it" whatever "it" was...I've achieved it. I notcied that my blessings have even followed a pattern. I pray or ask, surrender, believe, receive. And this relationship to the Divine has been consistent when I've opted to use it.  

Now you may think? "Well, if you know this already why are you using Tools? The answer is simple. I came to that full understanding yesterday because I fell off the horse of practicing what I know. Having been in professional sales for almost 20 years without any real time off, during intense personal, health and professional challenges will catch up to any soldier if they don't take the time necessary to reflect and get reacquainted with the inner self.  I stopped checking in enough along the way and fell into the busy camp of the industrial slave master. And on the verge of seeking therapy when Oh my God...I just decided to talk to myself again. It's simpler, safer and better yet its free. My mom is taking a counselling certificate course now and recently learned that talking to oneself reaffirms ones place in the universe. One validates his/her existence.

I've lived that to be true. So now, I'm back in the saddle again.  And apparently, I'm ahead thinking that it just makes sense to spend sometime reconnecting with my inner voice or truest expression of the Divine flowing through me.  At the end of my self-review, I feel like I get an 'A'  to date for accomplishing many of my life goals. Yay!

I'm excited to continue on my journey with tools as this program continues to reinforce much of what I know. There IS power in prayer, conscious awareness and meditation especially if practiced consistently.  Ive already proven it to myself and with a few short days of reviewing the pearls learned in tools I'm 'RE'minding myself (which of course, means training the mind to do what it already knows) the pattern is reaping all kinds of positive benefits for me once more.  

I'm so committed to sticking with this program to the end as I feel like once I do, I'll be the well oiled fined tuned machine I know I am. 

All of course, through the grace of God.
