Getting in (out) of my own way.

The internal dialogue and the atmospheric pressure of an extravert centric world can some times leave me motionless and in a deep gaze towards any solid object to allow my mind to explore the best possible coarse of action. As I continuously search the inner realms of my subconscious mind through Introspection and meditation it becomes clearer to me that I get in my own way.

Those of you who are introverted understand the need to ‘recharge’ or ‘refresh’ after spending any length of time in crowded public spaces or with an extravert.

Add waking up in the morning and opening your social media platforms and seeing what others have already done this morning or last night, and, well we might as well crawl right back in bed.

Like many of you who have learned to function in the extrovert’s world, I don’t appear to others to be introverted, often leaving us drained and misunderstood as we turndown social functions for a new book and cup of tea or glass of wine.

In an attempt to stay on course with the title of this post and refraining from a stream of consciousness that will leave us all scratching our heads in confusion, allow me to ask myself the question, what am I going to do to get OUT of my own way?

I’m going to continue to put myself out there, allowing myself to be vulnerable so I can become intimate in it’s truest sense with self and others. I will continue to put myself out there for others, yet I will respect the reality of who and what I am. I’m going to trust more in my inner voice and continue to express it here and in other mediums in the hopes that I can make a difference.
