who are you

What a liberation to realize that the voice in my head is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that. Eckhart Tolle

Oooooh I like that a lot. I am not all the mindless chatter that is consuming my brain telling me that I am not good enough that I can’t do something or saying why bother. What is your head telling you right now? Do this… don’t do that…Yes… no. The chatter can be so loud and so powerful at times that we can mistake it for rational thought. I love the idea that if you drop behind that, that chatter box, there is an observer and in that observer is you. Here lies the you that lives in the stillness.

In the process of quieting our mind we can be the observer of the peanut gallery trying to pull us into every direction. Through meditation we can grasp this stillness best. In the quiet space between decision and disconnect there is something so simple that we often miss it. You are here, the you that is calm and inquisitive. The natural curiosity of being human is often overshadowed by this voice. Can you quiet the voice in your head?

Yesterday was one of those days where all I could hear was the chatter. If you let it the voice will take over and run you crazy. That’s what yesterday felt like. I forgot everything and felt scared. It happens to all of us but the important thing is how we handle it. I reached out and had conversations to address it and remind me of what I am doing and where I am heading. Do you reach out when you are in fear? Do you ask for help? We cannot do this alone. We all need support to get to our dreams. We need to vocalize and make action plans. If you really want to live a life that you love than lets break through our old habits and work on some new ones. Like I said before we are on this journey together.
Enjoy a peaceful day today seeing the chatter for what it is and seeing you for who you are.

Today I am grateful for this quiet moment.
