Can you do a podcast or make a post about “when you feel drawn to something you don’t want to be drawn to.” For some context, I don’t want to go into counseling but I’m drawn to it. I like how it feels. I would rather do something more creative but my feelings tell me otherwise. How to deal with this dilemma?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

So, for an issue like this, like many manifesting \u2018issues\u2019 what is going on with each of us is very personal. There wouldn\u2019t be a blanket explanation for what is happening for every person in a similar situation. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer of whether you should or shouldn\u2019t do this or that, or what it all means.\u00a0I couldn\u2019t say for sure why someone would feel the pull to do something they don\u2019t want to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know this person\u2019s journey or what is happening in their energy or what this \u2018dilemma\u2019 is meant to help them address.\u00a0What she means by \u2018not wanting\u2019 can be a variety of things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Would be nice though right? Nothing our mind would love more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So I\u2019ll discuss some potential \u2018issues\u2019 that may apply and also get into what may be going on on a deeper level that is creating the \u2018discord.\u2019 There is always something more going on than what we are experiencing on the surface, conscious-mind level.\u00a0 Understanding that stuff is where we can really make some headway vibrationally speaking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s Something There to Look At<\/span><\/h4>\n

No matter what we want, we want it because we think having or doing this thing would produce feelings we find desirable. Peace, joy, happiness, fulfillment; it might be a good reflection of our values.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And there are countless ways we could experience these feelings–this by the way, is why you want to be open to how what you want can manifest, what it may ultimately look like. Your mind may be attached to very specific representations of these feelings, and there is probably all sorts of other ways they could manifest for you that you can\u2019t even think of now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The question referenced her career specifically. The sort of feelings you are looking to experience in your professional life, the ways in which you want to help people, the skills and knowledge you wish to put to use–lots of different jobs can fit the bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She may feel like she wants to help people improve their lives, she wants to help people heal emotional trauma, help them become healthier mentally and emotionally. Helping people work on their deepest issues, the things causing them so much pain, making their life so difficult–that can be very profound and there is great satisfaction in that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These\u00a0 might be the types of feelings she is looking for in her work so the idea of \u2018counseling\u2019 entered her mind. But if that isn\u2019t what she wants to do, she doesn\u2019t have to do that. The mind tends to translate the feelings we are after into specific representations of those energies…these \u2018translations\u2019 may or may not be the most accurate representations, and this is something we will discover sooner or later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are lots of ways to help people transform their inner world, help them live happier lives, from life coaching to energy healing to working for an organization that assists certain populations of \u2018disadvantaged\u2019 people…the list could go on and on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She can give some thought to why she may feel that way, if there is something about the nature of that work that is appealing in some way, and use this insight to get more clarity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She noted being drawn to doing something creative–whether she means art, writing, singing, dancing…it is possible she would find a way to combine these two elements. Doing art therapy, working for a creative writing program in a poor community…the possibilities are endless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom line is, there is some sort of insight here, there is something \u2018important\u2019 to see, something helpful. Any thoughts or experiences that create a strong emotional charge–both positive or negative–tend to have some value to them as far as helping us explore what is going on inside, and the better we understand what is going on inside, the easier it is to make positive changes on the outside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This Journey May Change Us, Our Wants<\/span><\/h4>\n

As we get more into energy work, exploring our inner world, getting clarity on what we want, who we are and all that jazz, what we want may change. Sometimes these changes are very welcome and we feel very clear on them. Sometimes they aren\u2019t, and this is due to the good old mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you realize you don\u2019t want to do something anymore, you don\u2019t want a certain manifestation anymore, it can still feel extremely uncomfortable to let it go. You wouldn\u2019t think this would be the case because you don\u2019t want it anymore. But if we wanted it for so long, if we put a lot of energy into \u2018getting\u2019 it, it can feel weird to let it go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We got very used to our wanting of a specific thing. If we felt very strongly for a long time about the type of life we wanted,\u00a0 felt very strongly we wanted this or that, it can be scary to let go. We may see our values change significantly–things that were so important before…don\u2019t give a shit now. Things you didn\u2019t think mattered before…they matter a lot now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It puts us into this kind of \u2018unknown\u2019 space that feels very uncomfortable to the mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving into new territory feels scary. Feeling drawn to start your own business when you\u2019ve been an employee all your life is scary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeling drawn to leave a line of work that you\u2019ve been in your whole life that has become a huge part of your identity in some way is scary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Realizing you want to walk away from some big, exciting life to live more simply is scary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps this person\u2019s identity has always been heavily linked to \u2018creative\u2019 pursuits, perhaps she is good at some sort of creative \u2018endeavor\u2019 and thinks this means she \u2018should\u2019 do something along those lines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps doing something \u2018creative\u2019 will help her create an identity she finds desirable in some way, will help present a certain image to others that she wants to present, will have people see her in a way she wants to be seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like I mentioned earlier, all of this stuff is so personal and there can be countless things going on so can\u2019t say for sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Rush Things<\/span><\/h4>\n

For most of us, this journey is going to lead to all sorts of actions, all sorts of changes, all sorts of decisions. And we often feel this rush to to achieve our goals, to get \u2018settled,\u2019 to \u2018figure\u2019 everything out, change what we don\u2019t like now and all that jazz because we just want to make all the \u2018bad\u2019 feelings go away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mind has done a bang-up job of convincing us the only way to achieve this is fixing the outside in one way or another. But as I am sure most of you are seeing the further you travel along your path, that\u2019s not the answer, at least in the long-term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be uncomfortable to not know what we want to do with our lives; it can be uncomfortable when our heart starts leading us in a different direction than our head has had us traveling, and we have to deal with all that brings up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the more you remind yourself the answers don\u2019t lie in the outside changes, the easier it will be to go within and get things \u2018right\u2019 there, knowing that\u2019s the key to everything you seek. Get things right on the level of \u2018being\u2019 and the \u2018doing\u2019 in all its forms becomes a lot easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The journey will no longer be primarily fueled by all sorts of tension, fear and anxiety that comes with being so externally focused, making it all about just getting what you don\u2019t have, and trying to rearrange everything on the outside so your inner \u2018ick\u2019 can go back dormant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we can be honest with what is happening inside, if we take a look and see what\u2019s there, all the confusion melts away. The next steps will reveal themselves. The clarity will come. You\u2019ll know what you want to do professionally. You\u2019ll know whether to leave your relationship or your job. You\u2019ll know what paths make sense for you and which ones don\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to do something you don\u2019t have to do it. I don\u2019t think our \u2018purpose\u2019 would ever be something that doesn\u2019t make us happy or that we don\u2019t want to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
