We are only fooling ourselves

We are only fooling ourselves. This became clear when I had a discussion (some text messages) last night with my Mom about the significance of this statement which we’ve all uttered a billion times:

I don’t know.

Those three words can have such a variety of meanings.

• It can mean you don’t want to answer at that moment.

• It can mean you’re lacking sufficient information to make the correct decision.

• It can mean you’re not sure about your availability.

• It can mean you most definitely do not want to do something and are using it as a buffer so you don’t hurt the other person’s feelings.

• It can mean you honestly don’t have a freakin’ clue about what to do.

No matter what the circumstance, it’s all the same outcome:

You don’t have a response readily available.

And, since your brain is your best buddy, it fills in the blank with “I don’t know.”

But…is it entirely true that we don’t know what to do? I believe otherwise. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say this:

WE ALWAYS KNOW.

Let’s discuss the details in today’s Baby Step.

It’s easy to convince ourselves that we don’t have the answer. It’s super easy, and very acceptable to say, “I don’t know.” But we’re just fooling ourselves.

It’s true. There have been countless times in my life where I could not possibly explain how I achieved something I thought I never could…and yet, I did it.

You see, we ALWAYS know what to do. We ALWAYS have the answers. We ALWAYS have unlimited resources. It’s true. Let’s access that infinite wisdom with today’s Baby Step:

Understand these 3 facts and you’ll never again utter those 3 words that leave you hanging…I don’t know.

Fact one: Everything you need to know is already within you. You just need to tune into your Divine guidance.

Here’s what helps…practice meditation, being in Nature, taking a soothing bath/shower/swim

Fact two: There is never any reason to doubt yourself because you are Divine Love & Light. You simply need to keep being reminded (that’s what I’m here for).

Here’s what helps…use affirmations, journaling, the DDD messages I send you (if you’re not currently receiving them, sign up for free HERE)

Fact three: Odds are someone, somewhere has had the same experience. So, aside from your infinite source of inner knowing, you also have access to tons of resources that can help you find a solution.

Here’s what helps…find reliable (fact-based) solutions on YouTube or Google or a blog (like mine).

Telling ourselves we “don’t know” only adds stress to our lives. Constantly saying “I don’t know” implies confusion and doubt and uncertainty. And who needs more of that? Instead, let’s take it easy on our brains and add one word to that untrue statement to open up to all the possibilities:

I don’t know…yet.

Speaking of which…

I hope you join me next week when we begin another series where we’ll dive deeper into useful tips, tools and techniques to get to know ourselves better. So stay tuned.
