When our mind hijacks the awakening process

08 September 2021

What are you currently believing about who you should be or what you should be feeling? The mind is constantly trying to fit us into different boxes. The boxes might be changing through your life, but the underlying dynamic of needing to fit one, and beating down on you if you don’t, is the same.

When going through the self mastery process, or other awareness work, the box might have changed to needing to be the hunter, the warrior, of getting results, of feeling gratitude, of accepting, of staying calm and present. This is again the mind wanting to apply ideas to live by. The actual process of changing beliefs and stepping into personal freedom is about meeting and feeling what is alive in you.

In this episode of the Uncover YOU podcast, I talk about the boxes our mind is trying to fit us into, the idea of success and the antidote to all of it.

Listen to episode 26 here:

A summary of what I talk about in this episode:

  • The idea of what we should be and feel
  • The different boxes – and the underlying dynamic of trying to fit us into them
  • Listen for the shoulds – in the mind and in the body
  • The way out: Being present with what’s here
