"Learning to be present"

​

From a young age, I was always interested in how our feelings influence our thoughts and behaviour. This made me curious about how our thoughts control our emotions, therefore, how we react. The more present I became, the more I could observe and listen to my thoughts.

​

"Learning to listen to my intuition"

 

The voice of the observer, I realized, was my intuition, some call it gut, others a feeling, the higher self, or the soul. This understanding has no religious connotations; it is something deeper that we need to listen to and tap into so we can find our authentic selves.

​

"Trusting my intuition"

​

The more I practiced being present and listening to my intuition, the more I was able to understand how our mind gets cluttered by past or future thoughts. When we live in the present, we become less controlled by our thoughts; we start to understand those unhelpful behaviours. This is a practice like any other as it is about re-training our behavioural patterns, creating that space of connection within ourselves, and learning to listen and trust our intuition.
