Are you feeling a restlessness, a lack of control in your own thinking? Confused, unsettled? The angels point out your inner critic--the part of our brain connected to ego--is directing the show. The monkey- mind stifles creativity and prevents you from moving forward with confidence. Loud, and incessant, it must be heard--easily distracted to get anything done.
Now more than ever, the monkey-mind can leave one feeling like you have a 200-pound gorilla on your back, weighing you down, and stealing your joy in the moment.
We can shut down the monkey-mind, but it will take vigilance. First step is to become aware that it is trying to vie for your attention. Then, calm down. Stop and take a deep breath. Focus on being fully present in the here and now. You are in the presence of angels. Breathe... invite the Holy Spirit to let you have peace instead of the problems that are weighing you down. Let go. Stay in the now. You will begin to feel a lessening of tension, a loosening up, a stirring of lightness. Smile and relax. The best is yet to be.
An optical vintage postcard clearly illustrates the choice is ours as to whether or not we let the monkey- mind overshadow our portrait. Chose to ask the Holy Spirit for help and watch what happens.
