What is the best way to act regarding my self-absorption?

Connecting with your body is one of the most important challenges you have ahead. You could spend so much time on your bodily needs that you need to start paying attention to what you are feeling and how it feels. Take note! It may seem bothersome but it’s a great practice to study yourself, your feelings. Don’t run from them or try to distract yourself with something else. Stay. Just as someone you love would do, staying with you when you feel bad. 

When the connection is done, the intuition will take over. This will give you more confidence to deal with real stuff, developing your leadership. Suddenly, you’ll be turning everything you create in your fruitful private land into reality. We spend most of our lives in airplane mode, leaving our personality guide ourselves. When we are aligned and connected to who we are, we stop chasing rainbows and shadows, we stop running.

How will I know if I’m tuned with my intuition?

The intuition is like activating our already installed how-to that was never used before because we were too busy trying to write our own instructions. When that happens, you won’t take things personally. As you understand that everyone is reflecting their own inner fiction just as you used to do before your awakening. Compassion is your new language and you know how to face your fears in a functional way. You know that every time you feel the need to withdraw it just means that something is trespassing your limits, so you learn how to communicate that and take care of your sensitivity. 

Why am I that tenacious to achieve that bigger something?

The insatiable thirst of knowledge you have, comes from an old memory of abundance and greatness. That’s why you are that determined to track the universe’s wealth hidden in some blind point of our minds. There is some tragic beauty in your determination to find it as you usually search at remote places, far from the natural source of your essence. Monumental efforts to fit into this world will drain your energy if you don’t embrace the joys of being who you are. 

How can I build my own lighthouses to save me from being adrift in my personal terrors?

Everyone will tell you to get some sleep, or to take a walk. But you know that anxiety, when turned on, is an unstoppable radio that keeps on narrating even when you are dying inside. The walls shrink and the roof falls onto your chest. The height and size of the world is upon your lungs and the best thing to do is running away. Fear is contagious and disortive, so it’s easy to get lost in their elusive labyrinths. Anchors, lighthouses, and rituals are some of the keys that open the gate that will bring you back home. But, which of them will work for you? How can you build them? With the help of memories, smells, photos, specific textures, readings, whatever evokes in you the same feeling every time and warms up your heart. Come back to your senses, sing a song or play it, and the most important part: don’t be scared of your fear. It’s telling you something that needs to be heard. And will come back if you don’t embrace it and ask it what it needs. Slowly, with the patience of a flower you will blossom on your own spring. It might sound cliché, but the darkest time of dawn is right before the sunrise.
