be more honest with myself

really not working…

To be true to myself and honestly answer what I want and feel.

I found that when i made myself be still, beyond the uncomfortable stage, that i started to connect with my heart more and what it is saying. There is a lot of truth and answers lying there! Try and climb out of your mind a little!
I know that i love a song when my heart beats a little faster when i hear the song.It isn’t my head going “wow, that chord progression sounds really good!” (even though i may appreciate that afterwards). What makes it sound better to me than a friend of mine isn’t an intellectual thing, it is a heartfelt , soulful thing. Sometimes my heart just knows and I don’t feel the need to know the “why?”s or the “how?”s.
I think when I am more in tune with my heart , it is easier to be honest with myself and not betray my true feelings. Now i am just trying to hear it more clearly through the day! I’ve discovered that it also helps to just do things that i know i love to do when i feel as though i am using my head too much. For me it can be a swim at the beach, a huge hug , a huge laugh ,having a ginger beer spider(float), being silent… there are so many things! Sending my love to all of you! XO Narelle

I like your comment, Alexis. I’m working on this myself and I do think that it’s really important to not stress or over-analyze too much! Trying to understand what’s getting in the way of the honesty is helpful, too.

I would like to say that it is, but that would be going against the goal. I don’t think I am doing very well with this one but I guess maybe I am realizing my own lies faster. I don’t know. This needs a lot of work!

I’m really counting on this goal to be a step in the right direction in finding happiness.
