| Our Inner Stock Market |
by Madisyn Taylor Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible. Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed. As a member of that group, you would likely inherit that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself, fearing that your investment would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not inherently talented would probably be a major obstacle to investing your energy in your dream.
On the other hand, if you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the likelihood of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas, dreams, and visions we carry within is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various commodities available for trade on the stock market. And in both cases, belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something. One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think. There are other more reliable indicators of success that we can put our faith in, such as passion, gut instinct, and intuition. Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their instincts over the prevailing opinion about what will work.
In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our instincts to guide us, questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we withdraw energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy thrive. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Kathy Curtis There is a wealth of evidence that proves that expressing ourselves through writing is healing and transformative. Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry, written in three lines of five, seven, and five syllables--and its secret sauce is the immediacy of it. Life is hectic, and we don't always have 20 - 30 minutes to sit down and record our thoughts. Haiku gets us there much faster, and can be just as powerful. The structure fuels your creativity in ways that journaling doesn't--and with this course, you'll learn the power of three simple lines to provide in-the-moment healing through self-expression. Our thoughts really do make or break us. Writing a haiku helps us find new ways to think about, express and see the challenges we face in being human. It gives us a way to quickly move stress and difficult emotions out of our bodies, and teaches us to listen to ourselves. It inspires us to seek out the things we love about life. And it will bring us a moment of peace, if we'll simply stop and write it into being. Doing something creative with our negative thoughts and feelings is a way to gain understanding, shift our focus, and clear a space for thoughts that will make us feel better. Being proactive in small ways - like writing a haiku - gives us another choice when negativity shows up. This course is delivered in 7 weekly chapters that will help you express the words within you to create a more peaceful and inspired mind.
