3 Acts of Self-Betrayal Notorious for Stealing Joy
All of our experiences here on earth are purposeful and planned.
Updated on Decemeber 27th, 2021
Throughout your day, we are continually manifesting the reactions of past actions. If one is in tune with one's intuition, it may be easier to quickly discern what actions will cause the outcomes that reflect what you want to cultivate in your life.
Others who may not be in tune with their intuition may have a harder time discerning what actions to take. Our inner voice has the messages needed to send our soul onward and upward, but as humans with free will, it is natural to make choices that undermine our journey, which can be a form of self-betrayal.
We may have several detours before we recognize that a new choice needs to be made to produce a unique pattern of behavior to keep moving forward in our soul's journey.
3 Acts of Self-Betrayal Notorious for Stealing Joy
Glossing Over The Details or "Sweeping Things Under The Rug"
Not questioning a situation compartmentalizes a part of our life that we deem needs to "stay in a corner." We don't want to unpack it or ask too many questions because we don't know what we will find. You may decide that you will let things play out how they may or decide that you will deal with something at a later time. Newsflash! You will never get back the time you spent being hesitant to take action.
Additionally, consider who else or what else may be involved in your situation. These outside influences may investigate the details and move toward a decision whilst you are hesitant to move. Remain in your power by not providing anyone with the potential to dictate the outcome of a situation.
Overthinking
Overthinking involves rehashing the details of events in a myriad of ways, which can lead to confusion. In this state, one is giving more mental energy to individualized perceptions of events, which only reflect your current level of understanding. Recognize what you can and can not control and make a choice. Overthinking reflects indecision and mistrust in one's ability to make a choice that serves him or her. Trust that you know what is best for yourself at that present moment, remember that you have nothing to prove, and let the rest go.
Living From The Past
Our past experiences infuse us with insight to continue on our journeys. The lessons learned during traumatic events of the past can help us recognize similar situations in the future. However, if we do not heal from our history, our past selves can begin to run the show and convince us of things out of fear, desperation, insecurity, or perceived lack. Healing rough events of our pasts involves self-acceptance and an unyielding sense of compassion for all parts of yourself in that past moment. If anything still feels hard to accept or you feel you have to "make up" for a particular perceived transgression, it may show up in a repeated pattern in your external world.
