“I keep trying but wellness doesn’t come. What’s wrong with me? What am I doing wrong? What else can I do to get well?”
These are all questions that I receive from clients and have at some point in my life asked myself. First, there is nothing wrong with you at all. Next, “trying” and “doing” are sure ways to keep you from wellness!
Wellness is located in the same place that you will find peace, joy and unconditional love. OK…so where is that place? It’s called awareness, stillness or be-ing-ness. It’s always there and has always been there. The problem is that your mind, which is not You but a tool, points you outside of yourself to look for the elusive wellness. Wellness is within you, but outside of your mind! What?? Confused yet?
When you go outside your mind, which is awareness, then You can observe your thoughts from a very different perspective. This allows for different possibilities, which have always been there, to show up in your life. Wellness is always there….we just have to allow it to blossom. There is nothing to do, try or control! Sorry mind! Your mind doesn’t want to hear this because it thinks it needs to control everything. That’s why you may find your mind trying to fight you on this.
