The answer to just about any question you have can be found within.
Ask out loud.
Yes, even if you’re alone. Say the question out loud. That jump-starts the subconscious, which is always running in the background. Mostly on your behalf.
Trust.
Trust that you already know the answer and all you have to do is access it. It’s there. Maybe in your subconscious. In fact, that’s probably where it is.
Trust the hard answers. Maybe you don’t want to know. Maybe that’s why you’ve still got the question. Even if you don’t like the answer, trust that it’s the right answer for the situation.
Feel.
You have to be willing to feel. Sometimes the emotions bring out the answer. Sometimes you need to get the emotions out to get to the answer. Feeling is a necessary step. So let those feelings come. Welcome them.
Filters.
Identify the filter by which you view the world. Notice it. Is the filter in the way? Does it need to shift? Slide it out of the way.
Logic.
There’s a time and place for it. Recognize when that is.
Know it all.
Maybe you stopped looking because you think you already know. I’ve done that. Maybe you’ve got a backpack full of justifications. All the reasons for bad decisions. But if you’ve still got the question, you really don’t know. Maybe you’re afraid to find out.
Meditate.
Like me, maybe you don’t think you’re patient enough to meditate. But it’s often through stilling the mind that we open up a channel to the answers. Meditation can do that. Guided imagery can do that.
Open.
Be open and receptive to what comes up. Don’t be afraid.
So try it. Look within for the answers you’ve been seeking. Trust that your inner self, your higher self, your intuition, your subconscious knows the answers. Knows the way. And see what happens.
I do look within (and above) when I have a problem. As a Christian, I know that God is always with me.

That’s a great way to be–open!
You know that old saying about trust your gut. Well I am a totally believer in this feeling. My inner self is usually never off by much.

Me, too. The gut is a good judge more times than not.
I do all of this when feeling down or need that inspiration. I also ask God and will get my answers when I least expect it.
Oh, this is so true! Be still.
There’s a scripture I love that this brings to mind: Be still. And know that I am God.

My mantra. It is actually a great mantra!
I have post coming with that Psalm.
Sometimes I just need to learn to be still and listen. I don’t always know how to do that and I think that this is a good reminder of to take a pause and listen to what God or whoever it is you listen to has to say to you!
Thanks for the reminder. I needed it today.
I agree, most of the time we feel a bit lost and uncertain about what to do next and I think the answer is always within us. We just have to know how to get it out. This is why I love meditation!

Good advice! I’ve been waiting for a revelation from the blue moon but my mind is garbled! Too many thoughts going in and out! Thanks for this!
There’s something about prayer and meditation that soothes me and keeps me grounded and ready to face the challenges daily life presents. It also helps to provide some clarity.
Meditate, I really miss doing this. I have got to start doing it again.
This is really great advice! I try to do these things myself. It does help.
I love to mediate, espeically when I am traveling. It has helped me on who I have become to day and found peace.

I’m with Ali! Inside I find the problems. Looking up. God is always my answer!
I meditate once in a while when my load is overflowing and I feel like I am on the verge of exploding. It really helps.

Trusting the answer might be the hardest because it’s either something you don’t want to hear or sometimes, it’s something that you really do want to hear but find it hard to believe that it’s really the answer.
I try to incorporate all of these things, but meditation is the biggest one for me. I wake up early every morning and begin my day with an affirmation and meditation. I realized this has helped me be more productive with less stress through out the day.
Believing in ourselves is the best thing we can do! We often overlook these types of things.
