Maybe you’re trying to do something you think you “should” be doing. It could be working, reading, studying for a class, etc. But you keep checking out and wandering back to the kitchen, looking for something to eat even though you’re not hungry. Or, zoning out in front of the TV, but not enjoying it at all, etc.

Just notice.

Perhaps you’re trying to write content for a post or a sales page. But you keep distracting yourself by scrolling through Facebook or Instagram.

Just notice.

Maybe you’re getting ready to go out with a friend. But you suddenly feel the urge to cook, clean, or do anything but get ready.

Just notice.

Discover the hidden message

Notice all the times you repeatedly zone out, avoid something, or distract yourself … or at least desperately want to.

There’s often a message hidden in these kinds of actions. Feel into the distraction and see what it’s trying to tell you.

Your soul is always talking to you. Do you know how to listen? 

Following are some questions that can help you tune into your soul’s message during those times when you notice avoidance behaviors.

Journal Prompts for Tuning In:

  • Is this task truly aligned with my goals?
  • Does the timing feel right? (Does this need to be done right now?)
  • Is it the best use of my time? (Could someone else do it?)
  • Have I taken on too much? (Does this task need to be broken into smaller chunks, or eliminated completely?)
  • Is there an underlying feeling that needs to be felt?
  • Is there a painful thought that needs to be dealt with?
  • Is there a conversation that needs to be had?
  • Do I need to slow down?
  • Or speed up?
  • Do I need a break? If so: what would feel like a refreshing break to me?
  • Is there some way that NOT doing this task actually helps me feel safer? Or, is NOT doing it in some way helping someone I care about to feel better?

Use the above questions to drop down into your inner wisdom and find out what knowledge might be trying to come through. Journal to find your soul’s message.

Then, if it feels right for you, follow the message and see where it leads.

Your soul is always communicating with you. Just notice.
