I’m here brainstorming, trying to determine my next steps. We’ve all found ourselves in this place at some point, often more than once in our lives. It’s not always about things going wrong; sometimes, it’s about evaluating whether we’re on the right path.
Throughout the years, I have been guided by the wisdom of numerous educational and spiritual giants. I’ve acquired a wealth of knowledge, and the most precious lesson I’ve learned is that the best advice often comes from within. Even after consulting these giants, I turn inward for guidance. This approach applies to friendships as well. I consider the counsel of trusted friends, then synthesize the information to make my own choices. This isn’t to say I distrust their advice or undervalue their opinions; rather, it signifies my ability to make informed decisions independently.
When the time comes to gather all my facts from friends and various resources, I take a moment to relax and engage in deep breathing. I always have a notebook and pen close at hand, and I invite guidance from the spirit for my highest good. Initially, this process wasn’t always straightforward. I understood the mechanics of breathing, yet quieting my mind was a challenge.
My approach is to journal everything. I write down everything that’s upsetting me, along with all the options I’ve been given. After that, I pause and take several deep breaths. I then seek guidance from the spirit for the next step towards my ultimate goal. Finally, I let the pen flow freely.
