You know what? Sometimes you simply have to stop thinking! Especially us women. We women are feelers. We are deeply intuitive. We are emotional creatures! Society now allows us to be it all, do it all and have it all, which is fab, but there is a but. We behave very differently to men. Keeping up with life from a masculine perspective is tough on us. Men are very action and goal orientated which is great and we can do that too. But, we are emotionally driven. And, that is our edge. But, it’s only an edge if we respect and nurture that part of ourselves.

I don’t know about you, but I am a real doer. Being Australian I have a rather fierce, ‘I can do anything’ attitude. Nothing is impossible. I will smash all obstacles to get where I want to be. I relish an opportunity to think outside the box and make the impossible happen. And, that’s a great attitude which I am proud of. It’s also a rather masculine approach and means that I am guilty of being ‘in my head’ a lot. Historically, that was a big thing for me. I was so in my head, I couldn’t connect to how I felt very easily. I used to try to think my way out of every situation and I have learned that doesn’t work. Especially for us women.

We women need to feel our way through stuff. We need to engage with our heart and our intuition. That means we have to stop thinking! You can’t think yourself out of everything. Our intellect has its place, clearly, but in many situations it’s better to sit with an open heart and ask your Spirit to show you the way and then sit back and watch. Stop trying. Stop doing. Stop thinking. Just be and wait and allow the natural flow of the Universe to do her thing.

I have silly amounts of change going on in my life just now with some biggies in terms of life stress factor – moving house, death of a close relative, career growth, financial growth, alteration of relationship status, school holidays, to name a few.  Although a lot of these things are actually very positive, I have a lot of big decisions to make and hand on heart, sometimes it feels overwhelming. Once upon a time, I would have tried so hard to be in control and think my way through it all, I would have made myself sick and probably upset plenty of people in my path. I have learned that when I respect that I am a woman and that I am emotionally driven, the way through any chaos is eased. I have learned to stop trying. To ask the Universe for help and trust that my Spirit will guide me. I just have to allow some space for the help and guidance to come in. With intention, I am creating a vacuum and I am expecting that all I need will come to me at the right time. I make a few calls and set a few positive actions in place and then I intentionally switch off my brain and switch on my heart and just be. I sit and wait. I have plenty of evidence to prove that this works so I know I can trust the process.

Are you willing to give it a go? Stop thinking and make the decision to receive guidance. It will come when you allow it the space to arrive.
