Reason 4: You’re Trying Too Hard
If up to this point you’ve felt like “yeah yeah I know all this”. If you’re super self-aware and you have practices, and you’re consistent about it, and you still feel frustrated because you’re not seeing results, then it’s very likely your issue is that you’re simply trying too hard.
This is my current issue. I learn about things and then I go full force. I meditate everyday, I focus intently, I journal, I do the processes, and at some point I’m just struggling again.
Remember, it’s not about the action or the words, it’s about the vibration. At some point you must realize that you do not have to figure it all out, you don’t have to control everything, you don’t have to be perfect, you don’t have to know when, you don’t have to help the universe keep the planet orbiting in perfect proximity to other planets. That’s not your job.
You are a human being not a human doing. You don’t have to prove your worthiness. You don’t have to show results or outcomes. You just have to let yourself be.
Trying hard is the absence of what for you? What is it that you’re looking for? Ease? Fun? Peace? Self-love?
What does the opposite of struggle and hard-work feel like for you?
I wasn’t sure recently, so I just took a day and didn’t take the to-do list, and didn’t take the books and the journals, and just sat in a steam room, a sauna, and a hot tub in silence. You don’t need to do a spa day, but give yourself moments when you let go of the need to accomplish anything!
Recently, I realized that my meditation was a checklist item, a thing to accomplish and track on the app. Although there’s nothing wrong with the apps, for me, it was taking away the purpose of letting go and just being because I was focused on my doingness instead of the nothingness.
Recognize when your own practices are counterintuitive to your allowing state.
For us overachievers this is hard, but necessary. You must separate yourself from your need to take action.
Can you be happy, proud, and fully in love with yourself even if you don’t accomplish anything on your to-do list or your bucket list?
If an activity is a means to an end, you’re not in the allowing state.
That’s tough because unless you’re consciously following your bliss, you’re likely doing something for some outcome. I would simply ask yourself if that outcome would not be, would you still do this?
The Abraham fanatics who have really understood the teachings are living blissful lives.What we can do is find ways to go with the flow, plan less, listen intently, pause more, daydream, take naps, and play just a little more each day.
