Hello everyone,
I hope that you're doing amazing wherever you are in the world.
My name is Bhoomshakha and I welcome you to my channel.
As always I'm so grateful that you're listening,
Subscribing and commenting.
I really appreciate the support.
And in this one I wanted to speak to you about decision making.
I've been having a little bit of a difficult time recently with regards to decision making because what I think I'm doing is that I am trying to avoid listening to my heart and what it's saying and listening to my mind instead.
And I notice this a lot in the way I do things,
In the way I've done things all my life really,
That I ignore what my heart wants to do and then I run towards what my mind wants to do,
Like what my intelligent mind thinks we should be doing or I should be doing.
And I notice that this results in a lot of issues for me because my mind always consciously wants to do things that are related to money and materialism.
So in general my mind is very focused on making money or creating money or working or materialistic things.
Really I notice that a lot of my mind and my thought processes move towards that.
I'm not saying it's a negative thing or anything,
It's just the way it's been set up,
My conditioning,
My programming and all that.
But I do notice that my mind constantly moves towards materialism and I notice that my heart constantly moves towards connection and spirituality.
And in a lot of cases,
For example if I was sitting there and thinking what should I do with my day today,
My mind would say work on something that's going to make you money,
Whatever it might be,
It doesn't really matter,
I have a hundred different things I could be doing to make money.
And so my mind is going to be like alright do something that makes you money.
And if I stopped and took a deep breath and I asked my heart what I should do,
It would be go sit by the sunset and watch the sunset or go spend some time with your family or slow down and just be or do a meditation or I don't know,
Read a book or something like that.
And it's interesting because of course perhaps if we lived in an ideal world,
Maybe we could listen to the heart all the time or maybe it's the fact that I haven't listened to my heart so much that my heart always whenever asked,
Asks to do things that it wants to do.
Like I imagine that if I was pretty balanced,
I didn't always listen to my mind and I listen to my heart and mind together all the time in a balanced fashion that I didn't pay attention to one more than the other.
I imagine that my heart wouldn't always tell me to relax and slow down and watch the sunset or be but because I haven't listened to my heart at all for years and years and years and years and years that now whenever I ask it,
It's like yeah just slow down man.
And for me I'm thinking to myself but come on I have to live in the real world.
I need to make money in order to live.
I need to care about the materials,
These things.
I need to focus on what I can do in order to survive in this world.
Come on,
Right?
Of course I think in my head I'm way too exaggerated and way too focused on materialism even though I'm not which is really the funny thing because I'm not really focused but I am.
I don't really care much about stuff but I do really care about my freedom and a lot of my freedom I imagine comes from money and a lot of it probably does but not all of it.
Of course it's very complicated and very intricate and it's a complex system of thoughts and processes to unentangle.
It's going to take a long time to unentangle because it took a long time to get tangled up right?
It's like those headphone sets that you're like oh my god I'm never going to be able to untangle it and you just want to give up on it and then by little by little over 15 minutes you were able to untangle and it's perfectly untangled now but it took time and effort and patience and concentration.
And so that's what I noticed for myself as well is that there is a lot of focus and concentration and patience that I need in order to figure out okay so should I listen to my heart right now or should I listen to my mind?
Now as I said if I was balanced my heart would also be sometimes telling me yeah you know what work on your stuff that you love to do so much yeah let's do it let's have some fun let's work on your project.
But as I said because I have not listened to my heart for so long it constantly just wants to slow down constantly wants to just relax and be and not do anything right?
Because I haven't allowed it to express itself for so long I have beaten it down and ignored its wishes and ignored its needs for so long that whenever asked it always wants to be like yeah let's do something not as strenuous let's just relax let's chill out.
Now the reason I'm doing this video is because I'm sure maybe I'm sure no I shouldn't say that I shouldn't make assumptions maybe you're in the same boat maybe you don't listen to your heart maybe you listen to your mind only and considering the world we live in actually it's more awarded to listen to your mind rather than to your heart.
So I would imagine that you're doing the same right maybe not maybe you are in your heart a lot and you're able to listen to it and you are good with that and great and if you are I'm really really happy that you are.
But if not then I would say that one of the ways to do it is to slow down really actually one of the main things your heart is always going to tell you to do is slow down and one of the main things your mind is always going to tell you is to hurry up to rush to stampede through everything to run to be impatient to not trust right and as I said the heart always tells you to slow down but also to trust to surrender to relent to be softer and I do notice that in my life I have been a very hard person in my life and I'm still extremely hard I think but the more hard work I do the more I notice I'm becoming softer and softer and softer but not in a negative way you know I always think oh my god if I become soft everyone's gonna just trample all over me but I notice that it's not even possible for anyone to trample over me because I just know what I want and my heart's so clear about what it wants and so it can just keep on going without any it doesn't matter what anyone else says right it'll just keep on going on its path.
So I wanted to say that if you do notice that you don't listen to your heart or maybe you don't listen to it enough that one of the best ways I've found for myself as I said is to slow down to take a deep breath actually is the best thing really when I notice myself you know kind of tensing up when I notice myself rushing through things when I notice myself becoming impatient with someone or something with some situation when I notice myself contracting rather than expanding when I notice myself not paying attention to my surroundings to the beauty around me and then just becoming very focused on my work like that might there might be a beautiful sunset out there and I'm just ignoring it in order to be like oh my god what am I doing next I have to do this work and I've checked this box off things like that then I know that I need to take a deep breath right and I'm sure you're very aware of it as well you're like alright stop it stop being in your head and then you take a deep breath much deeper than this but you take a deep breath and you stop for a second just a second you don't have to stop for long five seconds stop for five seconds and ask your heart what it wants to do yeah ask your heart what it wants to do and for me what I notice is that as I said a lot of times my heart will tell me to slow down to trust to believe to have faith that everything that's happening is actually meant to happen and there's no need to resist it there's no need to be worried about it there no there's no need to be anxious about anything because everything's happening exactly how it's supposed to exactly how it's supposed to there's nothing to worry about god knows the universe knows the higher entities know they know more than you ever will know I'm sure and they know what needs to happen next they know you don't need to know why or how they know and they're doing it and it's happening and if it's happening it's meant to happen and if it's happening and meant to happen then you don't need to resist it you can just relax into it just relax into it yeah and this is usually almost always the lesson or the feedback I get from my heart every single time that's the lesson I get from my heart just relax everything's fine everything's happening as it should you don't need to hurry things up you don't need to force things to happen faster than they are because it won't do anything and you're just gonna waste your energy just relax everything's happening as it should just take a deep breath and calm down and come into the present moment and every single time as I said this is the lesson this is the feedback I get from my heart and basically from the universe I would say and then I do that I take a deep breath I relax and I'm able to come into my heart and I realize okay yeah everything is okay I have lots of time to do everything and everything's fine and everything's moving along as it should and I have nothing to worry about I can just trust and have faith I can slow down and I can pay attention to what's going on around me and if it's a sunset I'm sitting next to or in front of I can actually start paying attention to it instead of being in my head thinking about the next thing I need to do so I wanted to share this with you because as I said I'm not an expert at all right it'll be years before I would even come close to being able to not even perfect this but become good at it even I'm terrible at it right now but I do know as I said taking a deep breath slowing down and asking my heart the question is extremely useful and if you don't want to do that if you don't want to take a deep breath and slow down and ask your heart the question just slow down right and that in itself will give you so much wisdom and insight into what you're supposed to be doing next so decision making this is probably not the answer you're looking for but this is what helps me a lot with decision making I'll definitely do more videos on this in the future because I'm learning a lot on this subject through my experiences but if you have questions about this let me know and I shall do a follow up video again thank you so much for your support and I shall see you the next time around bye for now
