Ever wondered how to true Freedom would feel?

As human beings we are given gifts at birth from our maker whoever you wish to believe he, she or what it may be. As children we don’t have much choice as to how we utilise these gifts, as our upbringing will play a huge role in this process.

From a very young age you have been conditioned to believe and behave in a certain way as this is the way your parents, guardians or circumstances dictated you must act. Whether this conditioning is right or wrong is not for you or me to judge, it simply is the way it is.

As young adults or even middle age you now have the ability to make your own choices and take control over your life.

Due to our conditioning this doesn’t always seem possible as we can feel like there are things in this world I have to do and choices don’t come into it. This is simply your conditioning showing up and making you feel this way. It is a documented fact that we believe as fact the first things we are taught or conditioned as is the right way or the only way, as highlighted in this study.

Research carried out by the University of Michigan states whatever information individuals first hear is what is believed. It is taken and embedded in your brain as fact. This illustrates why we must be careful not to carry around the old and out of date conditioning's that are mostly ineffective and often incorrect. As is normally the case with ideas carried around in the minds of most people.

Is work boring, non motivating and simply a means to an end? These are the questions you would be well advised to ask yourself in a bid to ascertain if you are aware of the way you think and approach life mentally.

Once you have developed and awareness of your unawareness now it’s time to start training in a bid to build up your own self awareness. The mind needs training just like the muscles in your body. Without stimulus the muscles lose strength and fail to support you physically and your metabolism slows as this muscle is seen as inactive and in no need of replenishment, recovery and rejuvenation.

A good way to start training this awareness muscle is to set out one, two or even three times a day to exercise it. Whether it be by an alarm or a diary recording to make you aware of this it doesn’t matter. What is important is you stop and think about what you are thinking about and the chatter going on inside your mind. What are you telling yourself? It may be things such as, life is hard, I hate this job, if I could just win lotto, I want a holiday but I have no money, I will never be the weight I want to be or how can she afford that? Doing this regularly for two, three and even four weeks will start creating a real solid base of the self awareness birth rite we were all given at birth.

If you want more freedom in your life I reckon from my experiences with sickness, living in scarcity and having a big worry gene inside me; not developing self awareness and realising the powers it possesses – true freedom isn’t coming to you anytime soon, if ever.
