Do you often find yourself worried, fearful, unclear, stuck, and unable to make choices?

Wouldn't it be great to be guided every step of the way? Just think of the confidence you would have!

Good news! We ARE being guided every step of the way! We simply have to learn to listen to and trust our inner knowing. Trust opens the doors inside us to peace, happiness, abundance, power, love and meaning.

How do we develop trust?

Before we can connect with higher guidance, we must be present and conscious within ourselves. We need to become aware of how answers and insights come to us.

That process begins when we STOP and PAY ATTENTION. We must get in the habit of taking ourselves off of autopilot to reflect on what we are thinking, feeling and doing.

When we pay attention, we begin to notice how our thinking colours our perceptions. We begin to notice subtle emotional responses we’d missed before. We begin to pick up the deeper messages and meanings of what's happening. The inner voice gets louder and clearer.

Here are some steps to notch up your awareness and sensitivity:

• Watch your thoughts. Are they constructive or destructive? Do they focus on what you want or on what you don't want?
• Honour your feelings and experiences and then let them go.
• Become aware of when you resist your experience. Practice releasing resistance to allow your energy to move freely.
• Let go of judgments. Things, events and people are neither good nor bad, they just ARE. Experience the peace that comes with acceptance.
• Watch your motivations. Explore why you do what you do. Are you seeking attention, manipulating, following a 'should', pretending, avoiding...?

As we become more aware, we begin to see how life supports our learning and growth. We begin to spot the silver lining with every black cloud. When we see this happen repeatedly in our lives, we begin to trust we are safe. We also begin to trust in our own ability to know the way.

At Higher Awareness we offer 2 important programs to develop self trust. The Creative Thinking program helps you develop your ability to find your inner voice. You’ll discover how thoughts and ideas come to you and how to fine-tune your quick, connective thinking and generate lots of ideas.

The second program fosters developing intuition. Learn to discriminate linear, self-centered ideas from holistic, universal ideas. Experience knowing without knowing how you know - the answer just appears.

A few days ago I posed a question and immediately a word I have never used before came to me - 'governance.' I had to look it up in the dictionary and its meanings gave me direction and insights.

So STOP and PAY ATTENTION! Become a master of asking good questions and receiving quality answers immediately and clearly. Your self confidence will soar!
