Why ‘doing what you think is right’ comes with a big caution!
The problem with ‘do what you think is right’ is that what you think is right comes from what you know AKA your past experiences and conditioned responses
That’s awesome if you had a healthy secure upbringing or you’ve cultivated a deep sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on anything external and the ability to recognise what you need and give it to yourself
But if you didn’t, then you have to be very careful with ‘what you think is right’ as it may just be more of what you know and what has been keeping you stuck for the longest time
It’s literally the minds job to keep us in what is known and familiar even if it’s excruciatingly painful
Growth and creating a different reality for yourself is often very uncomfortable whether that be in dating a different kind of person, choosing to be supported through coaching or starting a new exercise regime
Often the mind comes up with a million compelling reasons why not
Years ago when I started working on my relationship to money and surrounding myself with people who had cultivated a healthy attitude to it, I was astounded to see how faulty my thinking was when I talked to them and they reflected back to me
There was a comfort in knowing that I couldn’t trust myself there and so I had to involve other healthier people in my decision-making processes
A serenity and a surrender if you like. I started to become clear that if I wanted to keep something that I was doing a secret, it was a sure-fire way of knowing that I shouldn’t be doing it
The more I opened up to people with a healthy attitude to finances, the more I started to be able to rebuild my internal money template and learn to trust myself
Your job is to investigate the ‘doing what thinks right’ thoughts with a lot of love and compassion for yourself
Is it really right or is it just safe? Is it really right or does it mean you don’t have to put yourself out there and be visible? Is it really right or does it not fit with the fantasy you’ve created?
Sometimes you can’t make the healthy, different choice, it’s just too scary, too much and that’s ok – but don’t fool yourself into thinking that it’s right because it feels right
Acknowledge the truth that you just can’t make a different choice right now and be compassionate with yourself
The more you do that the more you’ll come out of the delusion that your thinking is right and the more you’ll be able to see what is truly blocking you and then ask for others to support you in making the changes you need to manifest what you want
The more honest we get with ourselves the faster we can dissolve the blocks to, healing, wholeness and love
You are always loved
