Your spiritual journey is a big thing for so many of us to start.

However, in this day and age we seem to have so much going on!

How do you allow for time to practice the things you want to practice?

Such as meditating or maybe doing yoga.

Even just enjoying the stillness.

The tip that I want to share with you is I want you to ask yourself this:

What are you able to say ‘no’ to.

By no, I mean what can you stop doing, what isn’t incredibly important in your life but filling your time?

For example, turn your internet off at say 6.00pm.

Then you could then see what else you could do instead of being on your phone / computer / ipad etc.

Not getting caught up doing pretty well nothing on your phone, you would then have the time to do a meditation or yoga etc.

What far too many of us get caught up with is that we try and fit more into our lives.

We then burn ourselves out.

We think that because things didn’t work out or we couldn’t fit them in, that we aren’t meant to do them.

However, give yourself a chance and look at your life and what you don’t really need to be doing.

Living a spiritual life isn’t about doing more.

It’s about doing less.

You need to realise that when we say “No” to one thing, you are then saying “Yes” to something else.

Every decision that we make is a choice leading us into or away from the life that we want.

Those choices will create an alignment in your life.

Enlightenment and Alignment go hand-in-hand

It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out on your spiritual journey.

Or if you’re an ‘old hand’ at it.

It’s always so bloody tempting to add more and more practices to our journey.

Though it’s just as important to understand what we need to stop doing.

Why?

Because when we stop doing them, hopefully, things will be clearer as to why we stopped doing them.

Far too many of us when we’re thinking about stopping something we focus on what we’ll be missing.

Instead of focusing on what we may gain.

Though it can be a bit of a round and round situation because often, we don’t find out what that something is that we can be doing, until we actually try it.

So, rather than thinking you need to do more, what can you stop altogether, if only for a while, in order to discover what would fill that void instead?
