Overwhelm

When we’re continually bombarded with external information, is it any surprise that our inner voice gets drowned out? You may thrive on the stimulus of a full social and working life, but struggle to get the balance right. It can be hard to say no to opportunities when you are naturally motivated by personal growth and being your best self – but the balance between external influences and your internal voice is a delicate one and, when your life is focused outward, you can lose touch with your inner wisdom. It’s time to bring more calm and clarity into your daily life so you can think beyond what needs doing to what you want to do. When you’re stuck in doing mode, you can see life as a series of tasks to be completed, with how you feel about what you’re doing becoming irrelevant. Until you reduce the mental noise, you will never be able to hear that small voice of calm. Start by creating your personal prescription for peace. Making time for a daily mindfulness practice is the first step – carving out time every day to tune into your inner experience.
