You Are Not What Your Conscious Mind Says You Are

Your conscious mind operates from a place of fear. Fear of anything new, fear of change, even if it is positive. From this place of fear your conscious mind will try to get you not to make any changes in your life (even if they are positive) by creating fear, doubt, chaos, and confusion in your mind. It will say things like "You can't do that", "How do you think you're going to do that?" "You don't know enough" "You're not talented enough", "You're not worthy", and on and on.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear. You are NOT! what your conscious mind says you are.

Your conscious mind actually has a positive intention with all of its negative talk. that intention is to keep you safe by keeping you exactly where you are so that you don't fail or make a fool of yourself trying something new. Despite its positive intent, the conscious mind has a real lousy way of going about it. If you look back over your life, I am sure you will agree it hasn't served you very well in living the life you desire.

Your Conscious Mind Only Has The Power You Give It

Even though your conscious mind has this loud and obnoxious, condescending voice, that always seems to be so powerfully against us, it has nothing to do with who we truly are, or what is possible in our lives. In fact the only power the conscious mind has to limit us in moving forward in our lives is the power we give it. You give power to your conscious mind by giving serious consideration of anything it says to you.

If your conscious mind says "You're not worthy", and you stop to consider whether or not you are worthy, you give the conscious mind the power to limit you. You begin to think, "maybe I'm not worthy of what I want in my life". "Maybe I shouldn't desire more abundance...a more fulfilling career...a better relationship..." etc. Before you know it you talk yourself out of the positive experience and changes you desire in your life.

There Is Another Voice Within You

There is another voice within you that you may not be aware of, or have forgotten about. This other voice is not loud or obnoxious, or condescending. This voice is quiet, unconditionally loving and supportive of your dreams, and speaks in whispers. It says things like "You are loved"..."You are worthy of all that you desire"...You and your life matter..." etc.

These two very different voices are like two different radio stations. Like radio stations on a radio, you have the power to tune one out and another one in. When you tune into that voice that knows who you truly are, and unconditionally loves and supports you in all that you desire, you'll find that the fear, doubt, chaos and confusion of your conscious mind dissolves away, and the path before you becomes clear.

Become Aware

So this week I encourage you to simply be aware. Be aware of when your conscious mind is speaking negatively to you (which for most people is many times throughout the day). When you become aware of this negativity simply state very strongly "Stop! That is not the truth for me".

Then take a moment to close your eyes, put one or both of your hands on your heart, take in a deep breathe, and exhale, and become aware of that loving voice within you, that voice that knows the truth about who you really are. The voice that knows you where put on this planet to fulfill a mission, and you have all that you need within in you to successfully fulfill that mission.

Shine Your Light On the World

Remember, the conscious mind only has the power you give it with your attention. If you starve it of your attention,it is powerless, and you will be free to fully express the truth of who are. The world is waiting for you to shine your unique light. So let it shine!
