Mistake #3 You rely on Your Mind too Much

I am looking forward about this particular Lifestyle Development coaching where we are going to take care of ourselves before we can gain full confidence, energy and passion to make our BIG projects and lifetime dreams happen.

Most people, prior to starting out any Lifestyle Development coaching, are people who think that “doing” is the only thing that matters and that the sense of being and feeling is just a challenging aspect in their lives.

Do you always let your thoughts and mind control you without considering what your body has to say?

Are you too dependent on your human nature to think and rely on logic that you somehow forget that your body and your intuition are still vital parts of who you really are?

It is time to recognize the subtle patterns in your life and realize that when you rely too much in your mind, you will be in the anxious state and you will forget how to take good care of yourself, your spirit and your flesh.

Let’s dig deeper into the real meaning of this by reassessing what line of thoughts you had yesterday and what you have had today and take note of the details especially thoughts that make you feel down and low. Examples would include: “I am never good enough.” “If I will not figure out a way to go through with this, I will lose all.” “I wonder if he really cares. He didn’t sound too enthusiastic at all.” What you need to do is simply recognize where your thoughts are leading you, how much energy you are spending just to find the answers to these uncertainties and how your body will react with the stress you are putting into it.

I want you to recognize one of the vital pieces in your life:

No matter who you are, it is your responsibility and right to preserve the harmony of your mind and body. You need to take things slow by taking the steps one by one – never embracing more than you can handle and connect more to your intuition. It is time to trust your wisdom that is integrated into your being. By doing so, you are giving yourself the power to be creative and achieve your full potential.

If you rely on your mind too much that you fail to reconnect to your body, you are putting so much stress on yourself that it entertains many negative energies such as fear, anxiety and exhaustion. But, if you take advantage of your innate wisdom and let your creativity and potential to take over, your mind can relax and make logical decisions that can make your BIG LEAPS successful therefore your life will be in total harmony, which can take you to a place of joy and success.

There are many things that will prevent you from reconnecting to your body such as illnesses, poor self-image, societal restrictions, miscarriage, idiopathic weight gain, hormonal changes and overflowing intellectual arguments. All of these things could disintegrate us from our bodies and fail to recognize the wisdom sown within.

There may be some part of you, somewhere deep down inside, that is afraid of losing control. That if you loosen your grip a little, you would feel that everything else will be compromised such as your finances, missing wonderful opportunities and fail your reasoning abilities. The fact is that when you let your wisdom guide you, you are actually treading the path of becoming your genuine self and achieve full confidence to make the things you desire in your life happen.

Reconnecting to your innate wisdom can be a challenge and it does not happen right away especially when you have been busy in entertaining logic and reasoning too much. The only way you can tap into your wisdom is to start practicing to use it so that you can be comfortable with its presence again. I will guide you through the process of practicing the use of your wisdom so that your focus can shift from thinking to centering your body with wisdom and intuition. As a result, you will be able to make vital decisions that will make things work for you:

Stop and take some time off: Your life is a vicious cycle where you can get caught up in one of the webs. You become too busy running errands, make lists, socializing and working that your brain could not handle the strain. If you learn how to stop and take some time off your busy life – without mails, calls or household chores – you are actually creating a breathing room so that positive energy will start flowing in again. Your brain can relax and rest while your body follows. It is not necessary to make prolonged break time. Even a few minutes off from your day while you enjoy silence and tea or be soothed with music is enough. If your work requires you to work long time, you might want to take 5-minute breaks in between. You will never know what it feels like to take a break unless you try one!

Stay physically fit: Take the time to nurture your body to stay physically fit by engaging in activities that you consider fun and relaxing. It might range from taking yoga class and dancing class to brisk walking or biking. Any physical activity that will get you moving while becoming well-aware of your body will do.

Breathe: Learning the correct way of breathing is a way to get your mind and body relaxed and in complete harmony with each other. Breathing can shift your attention from thinking too much to becoming aware of yourself. It is not necessary for you to be a yogi or maintain the state of Zen in order for breathing to work. A simple combination of deep and shallow breathing while sitting in a comfortable chare will actually give you the same benefits.

Make use of your Five Senses: Have you ever been too busy about your life that you forget what it was like to fully immerse yourself into your surroundings and feelings? Can you recall the exact time and location when you started noticing the intricate details of your furniture and the way the sun shine into your room? Can you remember how great it is to listen to the way birds sing and the sense of peace while your cat purrs on your lap? The more you face life by using your five senses, the more you will become aware of your body and reawaken the person within you that you have put to sleep because of your busy life.

Pamper yourself: Getting a full body massage is not only a means to pamper yourself but it is also a way for you to allow positive energy flowing into your mind and into your body. If you add drinking lots of water in the equation, it will complete the formula.

I know how valuable these practices are basing on my own experience! At some point, when I was just fresh and starting, I often feel like I am constantly agitated, stuck, exhausted and overwhelmed. I could hardly remember if I did something worthwhile despite convincing myself of my constant efforts. After a while, I realized that I was just relying too much on my thinking abilities that I completely missed the things that really matter! I stopped making decisions basing from my intuition and wisdom and I have not taken care of myself ever since!

Therefore, I made a radical change in my life and that is to prioritize my overall well-being over what lies ahead. I decided to stop and take time even a few hours of my daily schedule devoted solely for myself. I started spending time relaxing in yoga classes, taking peaceful walks, pampering myself, meditating and anything and everything that makes my soul and body reunite again. These little things made big changes in my life and everyday I felt more and more becoming my genuine self that make me regain back my passion and energy. The results of these little shifts are also radical! I have been more productive and I could spend a few extra hours for myself as well because I developed a system that made me function more efficiently without compromising any aspect of my being. I know that this amazing thing resulted from giving me the time and space to fully immerse my mind to my body while filtering out unproductive and negative thoughts aside.

Today, I am here working for Lifestyle Development Coaching to fully help people find reconnection to their purpose and heart, recognize their fears and to reunite the mind, body and spirit for the sole purpose of achieving success and fulfillment in life. This way you can enjoy tons of passion, vigor and confidence into your BIG projects and your life.
