The struggle for dominance of the mind is fought between the shadow and higher self on a daily basis. Whenever you choose to do something that you don’t want to do, you are reprogramming your consciousness. Small incremental changes of even 1% more effort, repeated daily, can lead to monumental growth in our lives. Be the kind of person who does the dishes after they cook, completes a project the day it’s assigned, hits the gym even on the hard days, or even just being generous without expectation. When you act from a place of power, you are raising your vibration and giving more life to the light within. The more you push yourself past the hard stuff, the easier everything else becomes. The longer I live the more I realize how difficult but rewarding life is. Life is always going to throw anxiety and doubt your way, only by healing your inner wounds can you overcome them on a daily basis. When you choose to forgive yourself, or those who have hurt you, you are expressing gratitude to the universe and delivering a message of positivity. Whatever you focus your intent on, is what your reality is. Our daily choice to exercise, to work, to be kind, are the things that define who we are. Who you are when everything is going smoothly is important, because that is your character. However, who you are when life is beating you down, is the crux of your soul’s aptitude to evolve. When we do the stuff we love, we are filled with all sorts of chemicals that elevate our moods. When times are tough, the mind can become the enemy and do the opposite! Our mind during anxiety and depression is really “our inner bitch” that is holding us back. This is the part of you that skips the gym, just this one time, then the next. If you want to see your life catapult into abundance, conquer your inner bitch.
