Trust Your Intuition
We often suppress our inner voice or intuition in favor of our more logical and reasonable mind. As a result, we suppress it instead of accepting it.
So next time, if you hear a voice inside your head telling you to do something when your logical mind is bent on going the other way, give it some room. Pause it, contemplate it and do what it says.
Start by pondering over it, then allowing it more weight in assessing your priorities and direction. Over time, you will see your intuition build and grow into a deep and resounding knowing, instead of the little nagging voice you have been suppressing.
Keep Your Ego in Check
Ego is a malady that infects our inner child and blocks our journey towards our higher consciousness. It is a result of our failings as a parent for our inner child. But it can be cured through mindfulness of our actions.
So, whenever you are about to make a decision, simply ask yourself: who is making this decision? You, your personal biases, or your ego?
Re-Assign Meaning
Happiness is not an object that you can achieve and then hoard. It is simply a feeling that moves within you. By externalizing it as an object you seek, you unmake it.
Start realizing the moments when you assign meaning to some external object (tangible or not), and un-assign it. Tell yourself that meaning emerges from you, and is a projection of your person on other things, instead of the other way around.
Over time you will find that you will be left with less external objects and more contentment deep within, allowing you to freely move to the expanded consciousness and embrace others.
Love
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against It.” — Rumi
Be unconditionally loving and kind to yourself and those around you. It is both the key to open the flood gates of higher consciousness and its very content.
