Is Your GPS Broken? |
Posted: December 25, 2012 |
Is Your GPS Broken? I swear my GPS is broken. Who IS that lady talking and why does she insist on giving me such bad directions? Sheesh… Human beings have a guidance system, too. You have an inner voice that tells you what is and is not right. If we pay attention, that is. See, I don’t think our GPS is broken, I think we don’t listen to it. We spend our life trying to figure out how to “get through the day”. We ask others, we consult books and experts, we stumble along, when all the while we ignore the messages of our internal GPS. Crazy, huh? Suppose someone said to you that a particular watch was the best one for you to buy. You check the reviews and ask other friends to see what they say. “Buy it! It’s a great watch!” So you bought the watch, but found that it was too small for your wrist and the numbers were impossible to read. Still feel like it was the right watch for you? Some people discount their own feelings and say, "well, all those reviews said it was a good watch, so it must be true". There will however be the occasional person who will trust themselves and say "the information that I got from the reviews is not right for me. I choose to trust my own feelings about this." Now forget the watch…consider all the many choices we face each day and see how often (or how little) you actually tune into your internal GPS for them Why is it that so few of us listen? Lots of reasons - expectations, approval, learned helplessness, fear, programming- it all causes us to ignore our inner voice of truth. After years of being ignored, that truth goes into hiding only to resurface later in unhealthy dysfunctions and behavior. It doesn’t need to be that way. Awaken, accept, reframe and release. As this is done, the person learns to listen again and to trust their own GPS. This creates empowering, enlightening, and healthy choices. Back in the driver’s seat, Peaches! Lost sight of your direction? Let’s get that GPS working again. http://zippy9991.wix.com/fezzik#!home/mainPage
