Most of us aren't in a good head space when we venture into actively studying the universe. We may have been into it before but we begin to really delve deeper when we want some type of change to occur in our lives. So we reach out to a church or metaphysical text, YouTube videos and blogs. What we come upon is miles and hours long. We end up feeling even more discouraged and depleted because we feel it's going to take a lot longer to "fix it" than we thought it would. We become obsessed and depressed, feeling like we're never going to figure this thing called "life" out and that that is, somehow, a bad thing.
The secret is...there is no secret. None of us are ever going to completely figure life out. I love studying the universe, I really do. However, it really can get way too complicated. Getting so immersed in spirituality can get you stuck in your head, causing you to become your own worst enemy, like a person on trial being badgered by a prosecutor to the point where you admit to a crime you didn't even commit.
I know many spiritual teachers will tell you that it's going to feel worse for awhile while you peel back the layers, but sometimes I really do feel like we are creating a problem that wasn't even there in the first place. Which then proves the law of attraction right because even MORE bad shit starts happening then because that's our point of focus. That, my friends, is exactly what anxiety is. It's a vicious cycle. If these practices don't give you anxiety, great! There are times when therapy and peeling back layers of our deep seeded emotions is the key to our healing. But I know many people, myself sometimes included, who have felt worse at times when turning to the universal teachings and even church.
The same can be said about life in general. Everyone is obsessed with finding the hidden or deeper meaning to everything! There's still something to be said about being forthcoming, upfront, straight forward with no hidden agenda. We do and say the things we do and say because we want to. Period, end of story.
Life is really a lot simpler than we make it out to be. Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you happy and let the people who are important to you know just how much they mean to you. Think back to a time when you were at your happiest: What were you doing? What types of people were you surrounding yourself with? Go do that, even for just a few minutes a day on the phone with someone you always have a good time around.
Be natural. Let it come naturally. Anything forced will just create resistance to what's going on and more suppression to what you're feeling.
