We don’t always know what our life’s purpose or journey is supposed to be or we may have so many dreams we are overwhelmed with them all. However, one thing is for sure: if we are feeling restless or discontent we are not living our dreams! Feelings of discontent and longings for something else, even when we don’t know for sure toward what we are being drawn, are actually calls from the Universe (Higher-Power, Spirit, God) to pursue our greater good. We discover true desire by first noticing discontent.
When you experience discontent or feel restless and you’re not sure why, don’t shut it out just because you don’t know what it means. When you shut off your yearnings you become numb and paralyzed to create something more interesting. Bring those inner rumblings to the front of your mind for examination. These rumblings are nudging you toward a more meaningful existence and urging you not to settle for mediocrity. By opening yourself up to them for examination you are allowing your discontent to lead you toward your purpose.
We also need to be aware of messages from those around us and not let others criticize us into shutting down our dreams, or even our discontent. Restlessness is the Universe speaking to us, telling us there is more out there and we are not here to lead limited cramped lives. Allow the Universe's voice to be louder and ring truer than anyone else’s. We are not here to settle for less than our purpose, nor should we settle for what anyone else limits us to. Each and every one of us has infinite potential for creating whatever it is we want to create.
Dreams and desires pull at us, tug at us, speak to us, and will not leave us alone because we are not meant to live cramped lives. Let these inner frictions rub until they create the spark that will ignite the fire of your own purpose. You will know when your desire is sincere when just talking about it gives you energy and incites motivation in you, even when fruition is far off. Harness your positive energy to partake in the plan that is in store for you. In doing so, you will be honoring your discontent and letting it lead you to your greater good.
To Your Best Life,
Shawn

I thought this post about freeing yourself from anxiety with simple steps was easy to read and felt like advice a friend might give instead of a long lecture. It made me think of a time I was stressed with school and really needed online calculas class help just to get through a tricky week of tests and homework. That experience taught me that breaking things down into small steps and getting support can make hard times easier.
I read your Learn How to Free Yourself From Anxieties With These 8 Easy Steps post and it made the advice feel clear and achievable, especially the parts about grounding and small daily habits that help calm your mind. Last semester when school got really busy I used product description writing services to help me turn scattered notes into clear sentences while I focused on studying, and that really eased my stress. It reminded me that a little help can make hard tasks feel easier.
