Solutions Based on Self Knowledge Keeps Your Energy Strong and Vital
Prolonged stress leads to anger, depression and illness. Developing a personal approach to deep self care helps you to be in touch with who you are and what you need so you can remove the tap roots of stress and have the inner resources to navigate change and uncertainty with ease.
What is deep self care and how can you practice it?
Self care requires truly understanding yourself from the inside out and balancing the needs of your body, mind and spirit. It involves taking time to nourish yourself every day and knowing your trigger points. Once you are aware of your trigger points, what they are really about and how they specifically impact you, you can implement the approriate methods to target their effects thereby restoring and keeping your energy strong and vital.
Unfortunately adaptation to stress has become so commonplace that it is often a major obstacle to the self awareness necessary for skilled self care. It is easy to become so used to “the way things are’ that you believe you are not being affected by stress. This mind set is one that will allow stress to silently but steadily erode health over time.
An important first step to changing this is to pay attention to the feeling of overwhelm€¦.a sense that there is too much to do in too short a time€¦..feelings of overload. These are feelings that are so widespread that they are often dismissed or accepted as par for the course. However, it is at this stage that there is a prime opportunity to change the way your body and mind are affected by stress.
More often than not you are aware of the conscious thoughts that flow through your mind. Beneath them is another stream of thought that has a lot more to do with your real feelings, beliefs and views about yourself, others and life itself that relentlessly erode your energy! Because of the nature of the €˜conversation’ at this level, no amount of intellectual planning or strategizing will be effective in counteracting the drain on your inner resources or in helping you move toward the solutions needed to maintain optimal and balanced health.
What is the answer? To give yourself time on a regular basis to let the conscious mind quiet down so you may hear the deeper river of thought and feeling that moves through you. It is here that the all important self knowledge resides. Once you understand what is happening there, you can release old worn out beliefs that no longer serve you, erase negative thoughts and feelings and create fertile ground for inner ease and peace. Through such a process you can discover a deep well spring that naturally provides a foundation for self nourishment, satisfaction and fulfillment.
It is in deep inner space that you come to really know yourself and be able to not only understand your triggers, but also have a
clearer knowledge regarding what your solutions are. As brilliant as your everyday mind is, it is your quieter inner self that holds the wisdom that will bring you to a rich, satisfying healthy way of being. In this quieter space questions can be asked that guide you toward your own strategic plan for inner world peace!
Questions that can help you on the journey:
Where am I too attached to outcomes?
Where and why do I care too much?
Where are my personal boundaries and responsibilities?
Are my expectations of self and other realistic?
If I change my way of approaching this situation, what is my worst fear? Is it realistic? What are healthy alternatives?
Times of change and uncertainty provide ripe ground for our fears and personal myths to emerge. Instead of allowing them to remain out of awareness where they are free to create chaos or employing ineffective means to manage and control them, we can choose methods that provide us a way out€¦ a way to personal emotional freedom and inner balance. Willingness to try a different approach, patience for the learning curve and a commitment to be gentle and kind to your self will benefit you personally and
professionally.
