Inward Growth; 12 ways to reinvigorate yourself and live life anew
The doors of the heart opens inward. Letting the light in. Allow things that don’t serve your highest purpose burn into its native nothingness.

The only moment you have control over is now
Now is all that there is
This is the greatest knowledge we can learn, and learning to practice it regularly is my mission.
Everything happens in the “Eternal Now”. All your problems, pain and suffering are either remembered or anticipated. Meaning they are not really here.
War is going on ever since consciousness began, the war of who lives and who eats who. From cells to nations. This battle is life itself and we don’t have control over it. What we have control over is how we perceive and receive certain truths.
War maybe going on outside of you but where you are right now is Nirvana. If you are sitting here, reading, having coffee, can go on a walk, you can be in peace.
What brings internal war is our addiction to mental contradictions. Know the inner workings of the mind through Mindfulness and relieve yourself of unnecessary leakage of precious energy.
Let go of comparing
A simple question to ask yourself when you’re worrying: “Is this useful?”
When you apply thinking to thoughts, we begin to enter the world of duality and contradictions. Watch when our minds tend to get too analytical. You will notice this if you start to compare things. Comparing is seeing in a distorted way.
We can never really fully understand anything for what it is in comparison to another. A better habit would be to truly receive anything for what it is with no judgement attached.
Always reach for the next best feeling thought
There is always a way to get to where we want to go almost instantly.
What you choose to think decides the quality of your well being. This phrase I learned from Abraham Hicks works wonderfully. It is a very good plank to walk away from the quicksand of the ego. Try being keen and skillful in reaching for the next best feeling thought. Gratitude always works.
If you feel like your frustration is getting more intense, disrupt the pattern by thinking of your favorite moments. You can also project a calm smile. Let go, and let the intelligence higher than your thinking mind work its way for the benefit of the whole.
Always remember that the subconscious mind believes whatever the conscious mind says to be true. So when in you feel like you are in a rut, you can change the direction of your energy by being completely here and trust that everything will work out as it should as it has always been.
Affirm in the present
Change doesn’t have to take a long time, it happens the instant we decide.
You are happy and grateful now that you are ______. Even though in the present it is otherwise. We create through the future we imagine. That is how outrageous and audacious things come to be! Like rockets, epic pieces of music and literature.
Instead of being defined by your past and stuck in the present, constantly close the gap between where you wanna go and where you are by listening to your future self and acting in and out of the completeness of every moment. Every present moment becomes the past as we breathe. May we flow with this ever moving, ever shedding, ever renewing You.
Affirm as if you are “it”, the type of person you wish to become and the Sub conscious shall work its mysterious ways.
It all starts with how you feel. Your external has no power over your choice to feel. You may be in debt today but in your “feeling” you know that you are the type of person that can rise above circumstances. You might not be in tip top physical shape but you can “feel” that you are strong and you are the type of person who can decide the path of your life.
After feeling and achieving peak state, it is only natural that your body will act accordingly. This is what they call acting from inspiration rather than desperation. We act from the fullness of what we are, tapped into the unlimited source of which we are conduits of expression.
You are that you think, feel and believe that you are.
The doors of your heart opens inward, let go and forgive
“Forgive, forget. Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours.”
Anything you feel resistant to are peers of yourself you haven’t looked at. Maybe it’s time to try to ease up on yourself for it is never any fault of anybody. We are not entitled to anything. We are gifted learning tools and chisels and hammers to sculpt our selves to purity.
We are not here to seek pleasure, we are here to understand and transcend the laws of the Universe. We are here to bring heaven on earth and set some matters in order to attain our highest possibility of awakening through creativity or expression.
Once we have forgiven ourselves, it is easy to approve of others and be at peace with whatever arises. Remember that it is not freedom until it is unconditional.
Be open and receptive; the universe is abundant
Create a To-Stop list rather than a To-Do list.
One way of being open is to not control what’s going to happen next. Take a stroll with no plan and try to let the feeling take you to where it feels new and right.
In changing up the habitual we open up portals to new worlds. If we keep doing things we’ve always done, we will keep on getting the same results.
The universe is abundant, therefore I feel abundant. All we need to work on is our level of deservability, self worth, and therefore increasing our chances for receiving.
Always remember that the moment you ask, the answer is given.
When stressed; ask what I'm I afraid of?
“What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?”
We tense up when we are pulled in one too many directions. Always be cantered in your completeness that you are unbothered by external circumstances.
Unfortunate imaginary future circumstances causes our nervous system to contract closing up our channels for circulation of vital energies.
Identify what you are dreading and run it through inquiry. Challenge its truth. In living inside your divine center, you are unnattached, know that the only truth is now and all is well.
When your mind goes, “what if this happens?”. The answer is either it will or it won’t; the type of person who you will become at the time of the event will perfectly know the right thing to do or be.
Events come and go but your love for yourself remains
The greatest ability of the human brain is to imagine, to see the world as it has never been before.
Know the part of yourself that is omnipresent and non changing. The being beyond your physical body. The spark of the divine that is ever present within you.
Events outside of you and inside your body come and go. Your character may change but the “player” remains the same.
All the love we sometimes seek outside is already in us. Forgive and love yourself because nobody will be with yourself as much as you will be with yourself. You hang out with you all the time, so it is best to be kind gentle and loving with thyself before others.
Declare your deservability and let go, stay open to miracles
fall in love with yourself and naturally express yourself and the world will beat a path to your door to fall in love with you.
You’ll only receive as much as you think you deserve. You’ll only do as much as your confidence in yourself, your will and what you believe is possible.
Harmonize your will with the universal law. Our conscious mind doesn’t know and cannot see everything, it works hand in hand with the subconscious mind.
You are worth what you think you deserve. Have a conscious plan and at the same time have faith and trust in how the subconscious will manifest for you beyond your expectations.
Accept yourself for who you are not what you think you should be
You need to create a groove that is deeper than those unhappy and unhelpful grooves you’ve laid down over the years.
Who you are is infinite but you think you need to do more to be complete. We think we don’t deserve such and such but the truth is we already have it.
We know what we need to do to be in full alignment with what we really are. Beyond labels of, writer, brother, parent, child or employee is a being containing vital force capable of literally anything.
You are what you are and what you have is beauty and strength.
Instead of ”I should do this” come from a place of I’AM this so is only natural that I do so and so,
Be grateful
As you love yourself, life loves you back.
Increase the moments of gratefulness. It is a form of prayer. It increases magnetism. It switches the our whole perception of life and life ends up giving us more of what we already have. It affirms completeness therefore it makes our ground more solid and gives us more confidence.
Thank you that we have the basic human needs, thank you that we are connected by technology, thank you that everything runs on universal law that is aligned to my True Nature. Thank you that we can purify our perception to the point that everything becomes beautiful.
Dawn always come after the dark
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
Trust the cycles of nature. No storms last forever. They are a vital part for growth, nourishment and evolution.
Each day we are renewed. An opportunity for something new. To open up the storehouse of possibilities already present in the hazy wave state ready to be manifested in you, as you, by you.
