I am Here to Serve the World

and eliminate that judgmental little nagging voice within…

Pointing the finger at myself, pointing the finger at everyone else. I don’t know about you, but all that pointing is exhausting.

If you hold a fundamental belief that your life purpose is to be of service, everything changes.

Am I talking about completely selfless, endless service to fulfill others’ wants and desires while you ignore your own?

No.

Instead this is about taking an honest look at the service of your inner thoughts.

Being a careful observer of your thought patterns. You know that inner voice, those things you think your head that you should never say out loud. The harsh, judgmental snarky tendency. Everyone has it, everyone does it.

‘I can’t believe this is what he said about me… or I wish she would just go away… or I can’t believe I did something so stupid… or name your ugly thought…’

Ask yourself: Are my thoughts in service or are they quite simply destructive? If spoken aloud would they benefit or would they tear down?

Why do we think such awful things?

It can stem from insecurity, feeling a lack of belonging, or unwillingness to view something from anothers’ perspective.

The common thread is that it’s always about what’s inside of us.

Elevating your thoughts into a more positive, loving and affirming state will transform how you see others and how you see yourself.

Stepping back into a wisdom perspective, giving yourself and others a break already; releasing the need for perfection.

Judgement takes so much personal energy that we could be using elsewhere. Our thoughts are one of the most powerful tools we possess.

Like any bad habit, redirecting our thoughts requires constant attention.

Just this morning, a nasty little thought about someone else popped up, and I immediately observed and adjusted.

Over time, this practice of mindfulness — being fully aware of my own mind, is creating a more loving and fulfilling life experience.

Highly sensitive people have a strong ‘Pause to Check’ system, which allows us to observe on many levels.

Simultaneously observing our own thoughts, making adjustments. At the same time, observing patterns of speech and behavior in others which tell us volumes about where they are and what they’ve been through.

Sensing when the energy in a conversation has shifted and someone is triggered.

We can also use pause to check to monitor our own triggered reactions and steer a different course.

We have the power to step back and shift the energy of a situation from the negative into the positive by simply watching and choosing how/when to engage.

Or by choosing not to engage at all, if we really understand that life is not about ‘winning’ but instead about building connection.
