Virgo: Use Your Dedication and Intention – Jessica Shepherd

It is Virgo season; A very busy time of year when many people are doing…almost everything…and we are also deeply interested in learning, improving our lives, and changing unhealthy habits.

When you want to improve yourself, instead of asking your will power and discipline to help you make the changes you want to make, the qualities you have been conditioned to believe in and make things happen. To accomplish you must have… I invite you to give your employment: dedication and intention.

The difference between discipline and dedication is day and night, or man and woman.

For example, the learned skill of being able to sit on a chair to write a book or study for an exam is discipline. This is how you have been trained to think (or conditioned) you should approach anything that requires your constant time and effort.

Surrender is the art and skill of letting your spirit of devotion lead you in this endeavour. There is a loving determination in him; In the same way a careful gardener tends to her prize roses, or the way you care for a beloved animal or child, you align your heart-ness with *what matters most to you* and Allows it to inform its continuous, stable, actions.

The difference is perspective. Discipline is masculine, and dedication is feminine. And some of us, especially the heart-centered and sensitive ones, who really excel at dedication and devotion, tell ourselves that we need discipline… when the reality is – we’re at our more intuitive. And can call on natural skill sets.

Similarly, you have been taught that you need willpower to accomplish the diet, exercise regime or change you want to make in your reality. How about a more natural, more *perfect* skill for you?: Intention.

Willpower pushes and strives; Assuming that there is difficulty, there is a hard surface to break through.

The intention is to soften and ease into things, as water slowly loosens the earth’s soil to help the seedlings grow.

Willpower commands, and demands something to happen.

Intentionally, humbly, humbly (and yet firmly), invites something to happen to you.

Willpower does not rely on the belief that the good thing we want is possible, so uses negative statements to “motivate”, and although this may lead to changed behavior, it is usually not good. looks like.

Intentionally trusts… that once we engage with our highest and most positive vision for ourselves, all good things are not only possible, they are already happening to us. We adjust our perception. We decide to feel good first. Because we know that for true self-fulfillment we can feel good. Then we can act and receive from this space.

I have made my deepest changes in life using this combination of dedication and intention. Again, dedication employs my ability to fully devote myself to something, as a monk or nun through gentle devotion and purity of intention (to which you can relate) stability and Demonstrate continuous effort.

Whatever I want for my life, I have intention, in the form of a prayer that has already happened because I have decided that it is so. Mindfulness tells me to relax, engage in complete faith, as well as my practical understanding of how I direct my energies. As I become specific about what I want to develop in my life, and what matters most, I can act accordingly.

So, which do you want to use: discipline or dedication? Will or intention?

Each are suitable for different situations. However, it can be helpful to know that we are all culturally inclined to favor the former, disregard the latter, and depending on how unfairly you have been taught about yourself and your unique gifts, This oversight can add up to the equivalent of gross self-neglect.

To be the master of your beautiful intention and dedication, decide not to ignore these beautiful feminine aspects anymore. THIS IS YOUR PERFECT FEMININE SKILL SET; Which you can use in the service of living your best life!
