Signs Your Soul Is Speaking To You

The soul is the truth of who we are-

Marianne Williamson

If we believe that our souls are the truth of who we are, it’s not surprising that so many people are having a hard time.

Everything in our society takes us away from the depth of ourselves. Our souls need to be fed in order to flourish and thrive but, the problem is too often we don’t fed it.

Many of us feel the urge of our soul. But ignore that urge. We need to listen to it and shed outdated ideas on what it means to feel whole inside. And we need to feel whole in order to be happy.

It is a challenging time when people are experiencing a darkness in their soul and the confusion that goes along with it.

Their some people that say our body needs to align with your soul. I think it’s the opposite-that your body should align with your soul. If we did everything that makes our soul happy we would be better off.

Awakening to your soul is not only normal but necessary for the evolution of your soul. Awakening should be a deep urge to discover the truth that lies behind your soul.

Our bodies do have a lot to do with our soul. To if feels like I’m being pulled between who I should be and who I’m meant to be. I’ve talked to others that say it feels like they’ve lost themselves in their roles to the point they don’t know who they are anymore.

If we would listen to the call of our soul. Then and only then can we move in the direction of thriving. If we don’t listen our emotional and physical health suffer.

Our soul is relentless and with go to exceedingly long lengths to get our attention.

Stuck In Survival Mode

When worry takes over your life.

When you can’t stop feeling worried or obsessed with what is threatening your stability in life, a stress response based on past traumas or recent ones.

With the world in its state it very hard to not let it take over our lives.

Survival mode is the term we are giving a pervasive sense of fear, stress and anxiety over issues that are not a real threat, though they are experienced on a daily basis in the form of vivid mental hypotheticals. If we listen to most media channels or even social media we can be frightened and have very vivid thoughts.

Survival mode is an overactive stress response that drives people to obsessively think about painful things: things past and things to come, endlessly analyzing and solving for “would if.” In the worst version of brain overdrive you can imagine. all the time . It’s a anxiety so powerful that it takes over your life.

This state can come in varying degrees Forming and horrible sense of panic to manageable but overwhelming worry. Regardless it’s always something that keep you outside of your life unable to truly engage in enjoy it as you see others doing. Space I want to do itRegardless it’s always something that keep you outside of your life unable to truly engage in enjoy it as you see others doing. Living in survival mode, you want to run but don’t know where. Nothing feel safe except checking out at your body so most in survival mode we end up drowning themselves in busyness or live and problems of other people. This is never healthy what’s the stainable for many reasons, the most dangerous of which being the lack of connection to self, and with that, a lack of self-care. This is a powerful issue that causes Many people a whole lot of pain.

The more long-term trauma happens to be, the more this behavior loops will be engrained into you mental memory. No matter how bad your trauma. You can absolutely help yourself, soothe yourself and move through this issue steadily but surely.

There are three parts to every what, why. Here are some ideas to make your own rules:

The What

Survival mode is like a cousin of PTSD in that it results from trauma (likely long term trauma) sometimes trauma that happen consistently for a short amount of time. It can also be from traumas that happened in a pattern so they created a sense of a new confirmed reality in you. Traumatic experiences change the way you define your world.

What do I mean about trauma? They’re experiences that evolve terror, extreme stress or an overwhelming panic that causes you adrenaline to spike far past what it might during a really exciting movie. They’re usually fear-inducing situations that don’t match the average of you life experiences in their level of severity. What’s most relevant level of your experiences reset your “normal” because your brain can’t make them make sense with the rest of your life, so it raises the range of expected events to include terror and evil and “run for your life.” Your brain with hurt for other comparable information so that you can put this to some order, if you’ve been through trauma, you might find yourself putting yourself in more dangerous situations. That’s a way that you feel “in control” of the intense fear- a way to create “normal” between all your emotions that accounts for the vast extremes. When you go through a trauma, your brain wants you to rearrange everything else to feel, comfortable with these truths- because otherwise, it’s intolerable. It cannot predict or protect you if you cannot make sense of the logic behind something. You cannot anticipate it-or align it with anything else.

Abuse Related Trauma

I posting about this topic because I just talked to a teacher who said she things children in her class were being abused in someway. And wanted to know the signs. This broke my heart. All teachers and principals should have to take a class on recognizing abuse.

Abuse related trauma can develop after a person has been hurt, neglected in childhood. These people may have been:

  • Sexually or physically abused
  • Emotionally abused or neglected.

As a result these people may have overwhelming feeling of distress, fear and helplessness.

Traumatic childhood events can change how the person’s brain and body work. Trauma can affect the person’s emotions, memory, thinking and sense of self. Trauma can affect relationships.

People most often develop the effects of trauma if, as children, they felt helpless and trapped by the abuse. Often the abuser is a family member or a friend.

One in five people have been sexually abused in their childhood. One in two has experienced attempted sexual abuse. Sexual abuse affect people from all backgrounds.

How Do The Effects Of Trauma Develop?

Trauma is a normal response to being abused. Many children survive abuse by developing ways of coping that last Into adulthood.

As a child the symptoms are:

  • Infants excessive crying or developmental delay
  • Fear, anxiety, clinging
  • Phobias
  • Nightmares, sleeping problems
  • Bed wetting
  • Social withdrawal
  • Hyperactivity
  • Poor concentration
  • Detracted easily

Children who are abused may not be able to understand that what is happening to them is wrong. Yet their bodies still hold the memories of abuse.

Many people who have been abused are easily triggered by things that remind them of their abuse. Their bodies may feel as if they are reliving the trauma and they may have flashbacks, sudden vivid and unpleasant memories of the event.

Women cope with painful feelings in different ways. For example they may develop a eating disorder, misuse alcohol or other drugs, or even harm themselves. These behaviors may help women cope for a while. But they often make them feel more isolated and depressed, and can increase anxiety and sleeping problems

I used to go for days without sleeping so I wouldn’t have flashbacks backs in my sleep or have nightmares that my mother was standing by my bed ready to choke me.

Trauma effects can make women feel out of control, or like she’s going crazy. She may feel, either emotionally numb or suddenly alert and panicky. Women may not realize that they are reacting to things that remind her of her abuse. Many people don’t know that abuse can affect their lives for many years and do not connect the common effects of trauma to experiences of the childhood abuse.

Many people in society judge people who have mental illness or child abuse stories. It is devastating to the person that has been abused to live in a world the has stigma towards them because their living out their childhood traumas. I often use the quote “Don’t Judge Me If You Don’t Know My Story.”

Recognizing Abuse Related Trauma

The effects of trauma caused by abused and other common effects of trauma include:

  • Trouble Sleeping
  • Having panic attacks and anxiety
  • Drinking or taking other drugs
  • Binge eating, throwing up or starving
  • Feeling like you don’t can’t go on with your life
  • Repeated experiences of sexual or physical violence
  • The feeling of self-hate and low self esteem
  • Fearing people and relationships

Sometimes when a woman seeks help, the care provider may not link her reactions with abuse-related trauma. Women can e wrongly diagnosed and given unhelpful treatments, including some types of medicines. Often, the care provider sees the effects of the trauma as substance use, depression, or even mood disorders as the problem, rather than as a result of childhood trauma.

Many situations can make a woman’s child worse.

Silencing

A woman may try to talk to friends and family members about the abuse. If a woman is told to just forget it and get on with their life. She can feel isolated and silenced.

Children can feel the same way. When I was in 1st grade. I tried to talk to a teacher about my abuse. My teacher spoke to my mother, who said I just had an active imagination. The teacher left it at that. She stopped trying to help me in class and always put me in the very back of the classroom.

Abusive Relationships

If a woman is in a relationship with someone who is emotionally, sexual, or physically abusive. It worsens the effects of the original trauma. It doesn’t allow woman the safety she needs for healing.

When I was suffering with from the effects my childhood trauma. A doctor diagnosed me with bi-polar disorder. That diagnosed label followed me most of my life. Causing my husband to emotionally abuse me which in turn made me have more trauma.

Like a vicious circle it can go on and on. Causing stress, for the woman who is already traumatized.

Blame And Shame

Without support and understanding, women may continue to feel guilty and ashamed. This can make them become isolated, depressed or harm themselves. Feelings of guilt and shame occur when the person is:

  • Blamed for the abuse
  • Were pressured to keep the abuse a secret
  • Wrongly believed that she wanted the abuse
  • Told others about her abuse and was not believed.

Strength And Healing

If you have experienced childhood abuse, it can be overwhelming and upsetting to learn how it effected your life. Remind yourself that you are a survivor. No matter how hard your life has been, you have found the strength to go on.

It is also important to respect the way of coping that has allowed you to protect yourself, and to survive emotionally and physically. This same strength can be used in your work toward healing from the abuse. Healing starts with learning to identify and understand what has happened to you, and how it affects your life today. That way you can find the kind of help you need to recover.

You can recover and begin to heal when you understand why your life turned out the way it did.

Never ever abuse a child in anyway. You could ruin them and their entire life.

Who Are You Really?

At eighteen we think we all know what’s best for us. Just out of high school and ready to take on the world.

Thinking we all have a plan for our lives. But sometimes we really don’t have a clue who we are, or even where we want to start.

At nineteen I was a drug addict, knowing that no-one else cared about me, why should I attitude. I worked a small job to help pay for my habit as I got into a bigger habit. I learned that beauty took me a long way.

I didn’t know how far this life would take me. But I knew I didn’t have to feel anything and I was happy. The two things I didn’t have growing up.

Four years later, I had met the love of my life and was getting married. While I slowed down on the drugs. It was still a part of my life. With a week to go to the wedding. I was in shock my life had taken me this far.

A month later I was having a baby. While I thought things were going way to fast. I had someone that actually loved me for who I was.

The first ten months were great.

After having my baby with an emergency c-section because I had developed pre-eclampsia. Waking up in the critical care center was not. I was in the most extreme pain I ever felt.

Getting home two weeks later I finally was able to see my daughter. I was an exciting time.

Moving into a normal life as a homemaker. Was the only life I ever wanted so I thought.

We bought a house, and the bills came rolling in. I was not ready to have all the responsibility that came with being happy.

Another child came fifteen months later and more responsibilities.

I had everything I thought I ever wanted. A great family, I husband to take care of me. Children to raise.

That’s when it all came crashing down like a ton of bricks. I began to get really sick. I was having severe depression and panic attacks. I couldn’t function at anything anymore. I couldn’t give my children the kind of life they deserved or my husband the love he needed.

The doctor’s had me on so much medication. I was barely am to take care of myself. As they kept giving me pills I kept getting larger and larger. I was a fat useless mother and wife.

With my husband beginning to cheat on me.

After twenty year’s had passed. I had decided something had to change. The kids being adults. I finally realized what a horrible life they had been through as well as my husband.

I found a doctor out of town. And things began to finally look up.realizing I didn’t know myself at all.

Who was I? What do I believe in? What was my purpose? What fills me with Joy.

The hardest part was knowing where to begin. While I knew I didn’t have to be on all the pills. I didn’t know where to start.

I had finally begun the process of truly understanding who I was meant to be.

If your starting the process of truly understanding who you are. Start here:

What or who would you be if you knew you could never fail?

The risk of failure terrifies most people. How many times have you wanted to change your life, or your job, or your environment. Think about it no risk of failure.

If you are 💯 percent sure that you be or do anything you wanted and not fail. Do you know the Answer?

If you were in a job interview, or meeting someone for the first time. How would you describe yourself so that person would truly understand who you are, and what is important to you?

What are your core personal values?

Personal values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live. They give you a reference for what is good, beneficial, important, useful, desirable, and constructive. Once you are able to determine exactly what values are most important to you, you can better determine your priorities.

In fact, having this information about yourself is the key to making sure your daily life is aligned with those values.

What makes you genuinely happy?

This is closely related to your core values, Will a job that involves tons of travel make you happy? Take it a step further and really condemn yours dreams you had when you were younger or currently have about what will truly make you happy.

If money were no object, how would you live your life differently?

Some people equate happinesses d success directly to the amount of money they have. How many times have to heard someone say, “If I won the lottery, I’d…”

But remember, this question isn’t really about money at all. It’s about thinking outside the box we tend to put on our aspirations and actions because things seem out of reach financially.

You may not be able to do those exact things, but once you know what you’re true desires are, you can expand your thinking and begin to develop a plan to work towards goals you never thought possible.

These are some tough questions and don’t come easy and you might find yourself rethinking them. And it is necessary in order to really understand yourself at a deeper level.

Allow yourself a quiet place and have plenty of time to think about each question and then go for it.

Choose direction, create new dreams or rediscover the dreams you have left behind.

The Power Of Your Mind

The Mind Of Power

Mind power is one of the strongest and must useful powers you possess.

This power along with your imagination can create success or failure, happiness or unhappiness, opportunities or obstacles. It all depends on your mind set.

Your thoughts are the main ingredient of this power, when you add to them focus and emotions, your thoughts are powerful and can affect your reality.

The thoughts that pass through your mind are responsible for almost everything that happens in your life.

But all thoughts are not equal. The stray ones make you think once or twice cannot do much, but your principal thoughts are the ones you repeat often influence your actions and reaction, and shape your reality.

As your thoughts are so is life. Weak thoughts hardly have any effect, but power thoughts can create great changes.

It all begins in your mind. What you give power to has power over you. If you focus on negative things your life will be. If you focus on positive things your life will be positive. It’s as simple as that.

Thoughts are energy. They are subtle and invisible but they can affect your reality.

Our thoughts are like a movie that plays on the screen in our minds. What you play there determines the kind of life you will live and the experiences you have.

We can train and strengthen this power. We can use it to make changes in your life and you can also influence other people’s mind.

There is a sudden change in people when you see the positive instead of the negative.

Have you ever heard the saying You reap what you sow. Planting seeds, watering them, and give them fertilizer and they will grow into stronger healthy plants.

Our thoughts are like seeds. They have a natural tendency to grow, get powerful and manifest in our lives. We feed them with our attention and allow them to grow.

You attention, interest and enthusiasm is what makes them powerful. If you show lack of interest in your thoughts, will not gain strength and will not be powerful.

Your thoughts affect your subconscious mind, this in turn influences your actions in accordance with these thoughts.

When you focus on your dreams and goals, you will attract people in your life who are in the position to help you achieve your dreams.

Powerful thoughts affect your life and can affect the life of others.

If you analyzed your thoughts you think and the kind of life you are living, you will discover interesting things. There is correlation between your thoughts and your life conditions.

Your mind is a manifestation of the Universal mind. The power of your mind is the creative power of the universe, which means that your thoughts work together with it.

The best proof you can have that this works by using mental methods to make changes in your life.

Wake up tomorrow and start thinking positive. The easiest way this can work.

Is every time you have a negative thought tell yourself stop “I’m not thinking that and change your thought to a positive one: example if your thought is today is going to be terrible “I am mad because I cannot exercise today because the gym is closed. Change that thought- I am going to exercise at home today I have a workout video.

The Mountains Of Life

Sometimes the immensity of what stands before us takes our breath away as we often question our ability.

I’m not doing anything fantastic or extraordinary, I’m simply taking on a different and unknown path. This path can seem foreshadowing when I am unprepared and yet I know it’s part of life. The challenge and the allure keeps me going.

The fascination of the somewhat outlined idea of how life should be and still I know tomorrow I will wake up, put my feet on the ground, and start the day of expectation. Our life has a way of shifting gears so I have to hold that shift and the vigil and say thank you. It keeps me humble, grounded and rooted.

The pull of the other side seems intriguing. It may be dangerous but it is very much alive in me, and all of us I’m sure.

To be honest I let it all pour out of me. I don’t really care what others think and the mountain of massive proportions. It’s all about climbing my mountain. The transforming of my thoughts to purpose and strengthening the raw emotion.

I have climbed so many mountains in my life time. I’m good at just pushing through it and learning as I go.

We have become a society of drama queens and kings all fighting for the spotlight. All the world has become a stage and for what? We need to pay more attention to our core that is bigger that the theatrics we impose in our life.

There is always another mountain when we get to the other side of the one we’re climbing. We will always get better when we acquaint ourselves with it. But, we must be mindful because in acquaintance there is comfort and comfort can be scary.

To chase the highs and the lows is part of the life climb.

Struggling, stretching and reaching for something better is my scourgeand yet when I fall, it’s hard and I always forget that is part of the grand design. And down is just as important as up. The low only has one way to go and every step we take to better ourselves has its own time and place.

I repeat in my head, don’t forget what happened last time. But it’s always in the back of my mind “would if I make it to the top and too the other side. I try not to forget the blessings that stand on the other side. We must conquer the mundane and make it magnificent, purposeful and end up being another goal I wanted to achieve. It is a life of long pursuit gratitude and inner peace if we make it to the other side.

We all have to climb mountains in this life and fall. It’s all about passing the test of life.
