Being You
Did you know what a great day it is to be you! In fact
there has never been a better day to be you, to be fully
who you are.
What
do I mean when I say be you, I am sure you have heard or
read it many times that there is nothing to do, just be who
you are. Sounds easy but what does is really mean?
Some people say to me that it sounds like they will have to
be lazy if they stop doing things and just be who they are,
and it is easy to see how it could be interpreted that way.
What it really means is that we should drop into being our
self no matter what that is. You see we have been
programmed to believe that we are not good enough the way
we are, just look at advertising and how it works. We are
shown pictures of perfect bodies, perfect hair, nails,
skin, stomachs, feet, noses, lips etc etc. We are told if
we buy this product we will end up with features like that
of the picture. We see these images all the time, day in
day out.
The interesting thing is this, the advertising exists that
way because of what we as the collective unconscious
believe about our selves not the other way around. The
advertising companies are not creating this belief, it has
always been there.
For generations upon generations we have not believed we
are good enough, and so obviously we pass this onto our
children and the cycle continues. One of the reasons for
this is of course to propel us forward to find our talents,
abilities and skills. The problem is that we believe it so
strongly that it runs our entire life and no matter what we
do, we still hanker for more, believing that if we could
just get this that or the other, then it will be better.
The amazing thing is that when we stop trying to be
something other than who we are, our naturalness falls
forward. We become our greatness, simply by relaxing into
who we are. You see if there is peace inside, you can’t
help but be your self, and you are amazing just the way you
are.
Can you feel the stress drop as you realize that, let me
say it again, you are amazing and perfect just the way you
are. Life is continuously changing, and we are a very valid
part of life, so there is no need to worry that you will
miss out on something if you don’t keep trying to be
better. As you drop into being your natural self, relaxed
and at ease, you will naturally be creative and expansive
because this is what life is. Nothing to do, just continue
to be you.
The mind will protest and argue that you need to plan and
create schedules to get things done etc. I am not saying
that you stop doing it, I am talking about how you are as
you do these things.
The feeling part of you, sometimes referred to as your
emotional body, is talking to you all the time. As you
start relaxing and being the more natural you, you will
become aware of those feelings and how they are
communicating with you. Some of the emotions will be
stemming from the way you are thinking. For example if you
have negative thoughts your emotional body will follow
suit.
So being who you are means, allowing you to be everything
that happens within you in every given moment. Especially
regarding your emotional body. So if you are feeling sad,
be sad, if you are feeling angry then be angry. Important
point: This last sentence does not give you permission to
be sad or angry or upset all the time. It doesn’t mean you
can go and throw your anger on someone either. What is
means is that you take away the self judgement so that you
accept your current state of consciousness and in that
acceptance it has a chance of moving through you. If you
judge your emotion, you are basically fighting what is, the
emotion is there and you are trying to get rid of it. This
is what creates pain. Pain is a resistance to feeling, and
the quickest way to freedom is to feel your feelings, so
start to learn to stop judging the way you feel about
anything. Let the emotion come and then go, it’s that
simple.
