Tap in to get on your path and you’ll no longer find excuses as helpful or necessary.
It’s nothing to feel ashamed of and something everyone does – make excuses. If you find yourself struggling to commit, feeling like you are lacking in joy, or having trouble making meaningful relationships, this is for you.
Even the best of us makes excuses from time to time (😳 … or all the time). When motivation and morale are low, eh, why bother? You could be living in a sea of excuses and not even know it. Surely, though, you are feeling the effects in different areas of your Life, and that’s why you are here.
The WHY of it all
Why do we make excuses in the first place? What’s the point? Well, there are lots of reasons. Some people make excuses to deflect blame and avoid taking responsibility. This looks like, “I didn’t realize this project was due on Monday because Mr. X never informed me.”
Others make excuses because they are too afraid to speak their truth and be honest with themself (or others). This looks like, “I’m so sorry I haven’t gotten back to you in forever. I’ve been so swamped!”
These are both quite common generators of excuses, and many folks probably don’t even realize what’s happening behind their words.
A more common reason for excuse making is a lack of motivation or inspiration. Maybe you’re ‘just not feeling it’, only, you’re never feeling it. It is easy to fall out if motivation and inspiration when you are feeling unfulfilled in Life, when your chakras are muddied, or when you are off your Divine path. This looks like, “Yeah, I’m just going to stay in again and watch a movie, maybe order in some pizza.”
And finally, a serious and subconscious root of excuses is that you are feeling low, rejected, or apathetic. This may be an indicator that there is something deeper going on within you, and it’s worth it to get yourself checked out by a professional if necessary. This looks like, “I can’t, I have to tie my shoelaces.”
Whatever type of excuse-maker you are, surely there are repercussions that will make themselves known across your Life.
So, how do you slide off the production line and get back on track? Let’s find out!
A simple plan
Well, let’s say simple in theory, but this will definitely take some work on your part.
If you are sick and tired of feeling unfulfilled, lonely, troubled in your relationships, as if you are unimportant, bored in Life, unmotivated, and uninspired, then it is time to pivot.
The first step is to take your attention inward and realize when you are making excuses. Be on the lookout for patterns.
Step two is to be completely honest with yourself. Do you fall into one of the above mentioned categories of excuse generators? If not, what type of excuse-maker are you?
In step three is where the real action is. It is your duty to yourself and the people you care about to rewrite your script. This is hard work, but you have a small arsenal of tools here to help you do that.
And finally, step four. In step four you will implement change. It might be like a shock to the system, or even shocking to what remains of your social Life, but it is absolutely necessary. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
During this process of evolution you are about to take, you will need to learn to recognize your root causes as they come up for you. This is not always easy, especially in our world of constant distractions. It will be crucial for you to have quiet time to decompress and disconnect at least once every day, and that is where the magic happens.
In those moments of quiet is where you will grow in inspiration and unlock Creative solutions to your everyday problems. This is where you will connect with the Divine Source and be filled up with Light. During this time you will begin noticing your patterns of Self-destruction, and which tools in your tool belt to use to help your Self to grow.
As you take each of these steps toward Healing, you will grow in motivation, inspiration, and you will feel lighter. Your Life will begin to look and feel different as those around you witness your transformation. You will no longer find excuse-making to be helpful or aligned with who you are becoming, because you are Journeying on your destined path.
Go out into the world and be the Light, my friend!
