Every Tuesday, I share snippets of thoughts that I call ‘My Thinking Corner.’
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple. You can check this link for more details.
Most times, finding out who we are beneath the physical attributes which encase our being is the most difficult and profound journey that we can ever embark on, yet self-discovery is the most rewarding journey of all.
The difficulty experienced by most while on this path is the ability to turn off all the outside noise and to search within. To shut their eyes to all the external fluff and see through the eyes’ of their soul.
Sometimes, we’ve got to cut off a lot of the mindless activities that we crowd our mind with because they tend to drown out our inner voice and leave us with nothing.
Sometimes, we’ve got to simply breathe and learn to live.

My dear sister, I’m trying to learn how to keep quiet in my mind and take the journey as often as is required.

Lovely thoughts, Jackie. I find this very hard to do because of all the emotions that come up. I feel like I want to run away from my body and feelings. I have recently tried sitting with my feelings and as uncomfortable as that was for me, I did find that by accepting all emotions -good /bad – I felt a sense of relief and that emotion eventually passed.

Daisy, I can relate well with that desire to run away from your body. There are many times I’ve wished I could outrun my uncomfortable feelings, but I realized that they simply ran alongside so I have to stop now and again, brace myself and face them and I usually come out bruised but the winner 🙂
