Inner voice and pangs of regret
Occasionally - and just occasionally - I had felt pangs of regret that I didn't listen to my inner voice years ago
Years ago, I was more so at some transitional crossroads (although I did not realize it at that time) and my inner voice already told me something - and if I had trusted it, trusted what I was shown, I could've been completely steered away from a certain abusive person. I think I should've allowed myself to trust in that inner voice
I remember receiving readings years ago that told me my inner voice - third eye chakra - was already telling me something but I was ignoring it
How do you overcome that occasional pang of regret? About something like that
I do at least see, with some clarity, that this is a life lesson : Never again to ignore inner voice things

Hi Izz...oh the power of the mind to torment us!
Well, my Guide rolls her eyes when she tells me to do
or not do something and I don't listen. (I met her.)
How to overcome the regret? Laugh at your mistake..or if you
just can't...realize, "Hey I sure did learn something there!!! Must have needed it!"
She doesn't take it seriously, so why should I...I'm a goof ...so, What's new?

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Self love for all that you are will help. There are always reasons we make the choices we do. If you can appreciate that in this instance and have compassion for self it will help.

This is what I have found to be true as well and I came to understand the reason of the reason,it was enlightening. The inner-self is one of awareness, nothing more. Awareness of knowing self. But I also came to be aware of the reason and also came to honor the reason as well. For me. neither were wrong. Compassion for self. |

Izz ~
It seems the most important lessons we learn are the hardest ones and the ones we beat ourselves up over the most. Acknowledge the pang of regret with sympathy for your former self and the difficulty you went through but also acknowledge to your present self how far you have come in learning that important lesson. Pretty much the same advice you would give a friend asking the same question. Stop beating yourself up over it. The scars that we receive thorough life are symbols of our strength and what we accomplished. They are reminders that we are survivors.

Always listen to your inner voice. It'll serve you well. Many times I've ignored that voice and my life turned out a nightmare .
Your inner voice always knows best.  |

Ah, regret's a toughie, it's something I know about all too well. It's one of those surface or 'secondary'emotions that tends to be concealing deeper feelings of grief and upset - you have to allow those deeper feelings to arise and be fully felt in order to move past the regret, I feel. But it's much easier said than done, or at least it was for me (but then I'm a guy, and we do tend to suck at feelings).

- To have a faith in God that something better lies ahead which may not be visible to us .
- to understand that such things may be necessary for our development of soul and accordingly re-arrange our priorities and focus on that by which such pangs of regret will be matter of past.
-Engage in creative unharmful activities / pursuits / hobbies which nurtures us without harming anyone. |
