Let Your Mind Speak

Speaking is one thing and doing is another. Do your thoughts align with your actions and words or are you living in a box.In this day and age where texting and internet communication is prime, it can be challenging to really speak what you mean; I guess if you’re not using your voice. The words you text do transmit feeling but is all this texting keeping the voice suppressed and so that when it comes to really speaking your mind we cringe and have lost the art of opening up with words.  

When it comes to speaking your mind it should come from the truth and not from the ego. Some of us don’t feel entitled to speak. This can also have an affect on more intimate relationships. It is your birthright to speak your mind. 

When the mind is connected to the body the thoughts can easily arise with substance, truth and meaning. Speaking your thoughts can sometimes be challenging as we are always concerned of how we’ll be perceived. While we speak the truth; this can mean losing a friend or being looked at differently and perhaps not being accepted. 

Sometimes actions also suffice for the hidden voice and actions can speak louder than words. But do actions really mean harm without the words or are the words necessary to sooth the actions.
Being in your own behavior and being who you are is challenging in a world where people are sometimes programmed and wired into a web of unconsciousness that alienates their subtleties and supremeness into a world all of its own. But it’s these very thoughts that need life and inspiration. 

Words are inspiration, no matter what they are;they can inspire and even create anger. Anger is transformative and can bring out different parts of ones being. Expressed emotions create a foundation of healing for the human condition.

If you cannot speak your mind, you then are voiceless, and your feelings become suppressed and this is certainly not good for the health. A few tips on allowing your mind to speak:
When speaking the mind it should come from a place of empathy, love and teaching. If it means to destroy another then it’s abusive.  You want to be received when making a point. Connect to your own feeling and that of another so that your words and actions are appreciated and respected. Start with focusing on something positive; remember we are all here basically teaching each other.
Keep your mind and body calm so that the words come out flowingly. Be truthful and open minded. It’s not what you say but how you say it. Keep it soft and strongat the same time so that you are received with respect and not fear. Speak with attention/intention and aim to make the point.
Stop holding back because your thoughts become others and they then get the recognition. When it’s on your mind, get up your confidence, get out of your own way and deliver the words to the universe.
Take charge of your words, actions and the audience around you or group of friends, whatever the event. Be in the moment and know it’s your turn to speak. Put it in your mind that the moment and space have openedup just for you and that no one can get in the way.      
Delivering your thought requires coming from a place of feeling. Using the best language possible and proper pronunciation can draw in most people.
Remember to think before speaking. Align your thoughts with feelings and knowledge. And mostly be positive and optimistic.
