What is your social programming?
Are you aware of what your truth is and what is nothing more than your social programming?
It is important to start practicing true self awareness to free yourself from social programming and find your inner truth. Most people are operating on auto-pilot based on their subconscious programming, and don't even realize that they are living an unconscious life.
I encourage you to start checking in with yourself throughout your day, everyday:
- How are you feeling?
- What is your inner guidance guiding you towards?
- Are you speaking your truth, or saying what you think people want to hear?
- Are you honoring yourself in your actions or trying to please other people?
- Do you dress how you feel, or what you think will impress others?
- Do you spend time with people you really don't want to just so you don't hurt their feelings?
- Do you live a spiritually guided path or an ego driven path?
- Do you make decisions in your life consciously or do you just unconsciously react to the circumstances in front of you?
- Do you take time for self reflection or do you stay in constant 'doing' mode at the mercy of people, circumstances and your 'mind chatter'?
When you begin to practice this self awareness and complete honesty you will find your life transforming. You will be tempted to act in old ways because to change can be uncomfortable. Recognize that changing and acting in a way that is in complete alignment with your Higher Self is a process and may not happen over night. You must be patient with the process and with yourself. It may be extremely uncomfortable and sometimes lonely at times.
As you transform, things that are not in alignment with your Higher Self will begin to fall away. It can sometimes take time for the new people, places and things that are in alignment to show up. This can leave you in a state of uncomfortableness and even loneliness during this transition.
During this transition time you may be tempted to go back to old ways. Do your best not to. However, if you do, do so consciously. When you are conscious that you are making these decisions, rather than unconsciously reacting, you are still coming from a place of empowerment. The more you consciously make these decisions, the more you will consciously realize that they do not serve your Higher Good and it will be that much easier to make new decisions that do benefit your Highest Good.
