Maybe you see an ugly reflection in the real mirror of self-awareness.
But don’t worry… That’s a good indication you are turning inward.
Because when you address your shortcomings while self-aware, you dissolve them in the solution of consciousness.
Yes while self-awareness guides you to the right path, consciousness offers strength to glide on it.
Consciousness is the state wherein your thoughts and emotions go together, space where your responses become a choice.
A beautiful quote by Lao Tzu says it all…
“The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.”
Unconscious Mind
Mind is the most powerful tool of body.
It is the initiator of your response to people and situations.
With the principal responsibility of thinking, your mind is accountable for everything.
But in the world full of cynical materialism, the mind is losing control on:
- Quality of thoughts
- Frequency of thoughts
Wondering why?
Most of your thoughts and actions are compulsive and unconscious.
The process of turning negative
Unconscious thinking leads to over-thinking.
It generates negative emotions demanding reciprocation from feelings.
The soul-driven feelings respond, and the resultant feelings are negative.
It’s a vicious circle because of a simple reason:
Thoughts are pop-ups while feelings are deep-rooted!
And once your feelings turn negative, it obstructs the mind to generate a positive thought.
This discrepancy between thought and feeling makes you feel like a lost wanderer, no clarity, no direction, just blindly crashing into everything.
Why feeling is important?
You cannot think of happiness, you can only feel it.
This reason is enough to state the importance to feel.
But like happiness which is a positive emotion, negative emotions also seek reciprocation from feelings.
Now here’s where consciousness creates magic:
A conscious mind not only feeds positive emotions but also denies feelings to negative emotions.
Thoughts and Feelings are in balance.
Beware:
While thinking more and feeling less kills your happiness, feeling more and thinking less makes you useless and complacent as you don’t test the boundaries of your comfort zone.
But when you consciously think, not only you monitor the quality of thoughts but also its frequency.
Neither there is a deficiency of thinking restricting you in a shell nor there is overwhelm leading to depression.
Therefore balance is important where both thoughts and emotions are faithful to each other.
The bottom line:
Revive the state where you are mindful and soulful at the same time. Be aware of your unconscious phenomenon, the most fundamental being bringing awareness to your breaths which is the foundation of consciousness.
A conscious mind is ready to take responsibility for your happiness.
