Stop Borrowing Other People's Eyes

 Think about a situation, maybe it’s a job, a purchase, or even a social media post. Or maybe it’s about starting a new hobby, or routine. Now think about who is seeing your choices. Who is seeing what’s in front of you. Is it you? Is it really you? Or is it all the people that may have an opinion on “how it looks” or other people that have opinions on “what you should do”. We borrow other people’s eyes to see what’s in front of us.

Now, stop and think about what you really want. Turn all the other perspectives off. Quiet all of that. Ask yourself what you really want. That resistance you feel? That twinge you get when you give yourself permission to think about it ONLY as what YOU want? That’s just the layers of conditioning you are pushing against, it’s the resistance of all the other peoples’ voices telling you to listen to them instead of trusting yourself, instead of trusting your own voice. We’ve been trained to listen to everything outside of us. We’ve been trained to borrow everyone else’s eyes to look at it for us.

You know what you want. No one else has your perspective. No one else has your emotions from the source. No one else feels what you feel. Your feelings are guiding you, whether you know it or not. When you are really connected, you can feel it in everything you do. We’ve been taught to ignore it. We’ve been taught to listen to others and to be disconnected. But you know. Everything you do, if it is aligned, it feels good. If it is not aligned, it feels bad.

And the more in tune you get with your own perspective, with your own feelings on your choices, the more you are using your own eyes to see the situation, using your own voice to tell you if something is a fit or not, the more you do that, the easier it gets to hear your own voice and the harder it gets to ignore it.

In other words, the more you tune in to yourself and ignore, tune out all the rest, the easier it gets, and the better you get at it. Meaning, you can cut through all the rest, and you don’t have to listen to all the outside voices telling you what you “should: want. The louder your own voice gets, the quieter all the others get. And you know the difference. You know when you are doing things only because society, parents, teachers, church, whomever it is, you know when you are doing what THEY want, even when your inner voice is screaming to do something different. You know when you are listening to them, vs. when you are really listening to yourself. Trust that. Trust yourself. Trust that what you want is what YOU want. And that is right! Trust that you know better than all the outside people. Trust that they can’t see what you can. They can’t feel what you can feel.

So stop borrowing their eyes to see your own situation. Stop borrowing other people’s eyes. Use your own eyes. Trust your own eyes. And trust that you are seeing things more clearly than anyone else possibly could. Listen to your own voice. Trust your own voice. And trust that you are doing what YOU want to do.

Momentum

  Sometimes we can get stuck because we aren’t already doing something. It is hard to start things. If something is new, it is difficult to start it and even more difficult to be doing it regularly right away. I’ve talked about not being afraid to start something. I’ve talked about not being afraid to be bad at something. Anything you do for the first time, you will not be an expert. Period. That’s just how it works. But something else that can keep us from taking that first step, or trying to take another step after we’ve been off for a while. It’s momentum. We’ve heard the law of physics: an object in motion stays in motion. That is literally true. It can also help us get going. More importantly, it can help us not beat ourselves up about it. You can tell yourself that you want to be doing something. It can be any habit. More water, less screen time, more movement. Whatever it is, there is our desired place and there is where we are now. Even if that gap is small, it ca...

Listen to your body.

  Your body has a way of telling you something is off. Whatever it is, we really should listen. The best way I’ve heard it put as: "Powering through what’s draining you won’t make you stronger." We’ve always been told to push through, or "no pain, no gain", all the cliches, but think about life and all the situations where something just didn’t fit. I can think of many experiences like that myself. No matter how hard you are on yourself, it isn’t going to work. And that’s ok. We just have to do it differently. Or do something else.   I am thinking about that a lot today. I am thinking about what it means when something isn’t working. When something is harder than it should be. As I step into my new role…well it’s not new, but I had to listen to my body telling me to come back to this. I really feel like I’m coming back to myself. No matter what path we are on, we need to listen. We need to be able to look at ourselves and our goals. We need to be able to name wh...

Do you know what you want?

  Do you know what you want? I’m not used to deciding what I want. I’m an easy-going, go with the flow type of person, so if you put something in front of me and ask me if I can do it, the answer is yes. If you ask me if I will do it, I will. If you ask me if I enjoyed it after the fact, I will likely have done it with a smile and so yes, it wasn’t too bad. But if you ask me beforehand, what do I want to do. I often don’t know what I want to do. I’m working on that. My wife asked me the other day, what do you want to do. On a good day that is met with a question mark. But on a bad day, that can be met with genuine anxiety. I can handle a lot. I know I can do a lot of hard things. I have had some difficult tasks put in front of me and I take pride in my ability to get it done. But I have realized that just because I can do something, even well, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s what I want to do, or even what I should do. In school, in our careers, many of us have been doing thi...
