Mental Tension & Intuition
You don’t need to have all the answers right now to eventually be successful
I am building an app called Ready that focuses on relationship support and it includes a dating function for people who are looking for a serious partnership. Ready can support couples in building self-awareness and relationship skills so that they can thrive together. Ready also helps people who are single find a partner who cares about growing and developing their self-awareness. Join the waitlist for early access.
When the mind is turbulent, it becomes easy to drop logical and sensible thinking. your anxiety and stress can create elaborate fictions in your mind. A strong emotion can attach itself to any little piece of information and build a wild story around it. The mind is quick to rely on imagination to keep the heavy reaction going. Fear and its manifestations push us to overanalyze and place us in unhealthy mental loops that increase our tension. This is common in all human beings. It is a pattern reinforced by our need to evade potential dangers, but if it goes unchecked, it can also burden the mind and create behavioral complexes that make life more difficult. Recognizing what it feels like when you are out of balance can help you cut the loop. Awareness is the light that helps break unconscious habit patterns. Similarly, training the mind to become comfortable in the present moment will help you have the strength to pull yourself out of imaginary negativity. You must get comfortable with turning your attention inward if you want to start living in a new way. When you become familiar with your own ups and downs, it will be easier to see when you are causing yourself misery.
Create what your intuition is asking you to create. Do this as an act of service. You have no idea who you may end up helping or even the lives you may save simply by following the truth of your heart. Don’t let fear stop you from listening to your inner calling. Don’t let an unclear path discourage you from taking steps into the unknown. The greatest you arises when you begin to embrace the space beyond your comfort zone. You don’t need to have all the answers right now to eventually be successful. You just need to be willing to take one step at a time. Embrace the challenge. Remember how strong you are and how much you have already overcome. You don’t need to move quickly. even slow movement will get you where you want to go. Let yourself live in your power. You hold a unique vision and that is your gift to the world.

New Book by a Friend:
My brother Cory Allen just released his new book Brave New You! He is a genuinely wise human being who moves through life in a compassionate manner. I highly suggest checking out his book, especially if this is a transitional moment of your life.
“You have to stake a claim to your own health, happiness, and emotional freedom. You are worth it, and it’s okay to give yourself love and care. It isn’t selfish, and there’s no reason for you to feel guilty for treating yourself well. Just because other people in your life didn’t know how to love you properly doesn’t mean that you aren’t worthy of proper love.” - Cory Allen, Brave New You
