Moving Beyond Fear & Into Your Heart – Part 2

Begin to Practice Following Your Heart

Ask yourself when you wake up,  “What do I feel like doing first today?” and then do it.  And once you have completed that, ask again “Now what do want to do next?” and then do that.

OK!!  Hold on, this has great purpose, especially for those who work!  Read on…

As you go along in this manner you are following your heart. This may be challenging at first, because you are used to being committed and adhering to schedules, but consider this approach and see where it takes you. 

Let go of planning so much of your life in small ways.  Start doing this on a weekend when you don’t have as many obligations. Choose not to make any plans one Saturday and see where the weekend takes you. Once you get the hang of that, try it on a Monday and see where the week takes you.
 
While you begin to practice following your heart, there may be times that you recognize that what you are committed to is not what you truly want to be doing. That’s okay, honor your agreements and at the same time be aware of the choices that you are making, and then gradually, begin to make fewer commitments, leave more empty time on your calendar, and begin to become comfortable with living moment to moment.

 
Following Your Heart Brings You What is Most Valuable

 Learning to follow your heart is not the same thing as giving yourself permission to be irresponsible. For instance, if you do not go to work one day or do not honor a commitment that you have made and then experience regret due to the consequences that result, that is not following your heart. That is a matter of not taking responsibility for making life choices in alignment with you are.
 
If you find that going to work or honoring your commitments are not in alignment with following your heart, then you might want to consider finding a new job and re-evaluate who and what you are currently making commitments to. 
 
You will find that following your heart inevitably brings you to what is most important for you to do, and you will find that  aspects of your life that do not serve your highest expression will become uninteresting, and fall away.  When you follow your heart you will inevitably find yourself exactly where you are meant to be. It can be no other way. Making a conscious shift into expansion and heart-harmony  will alleviate much of the pressure that so many of us are feeling right now, and will allow you to flow smoothly from this version of reality into the next.
