5 Behaviors That Show YOU Are Attaining Higher Consciousness!
Want to level up? Who wouldn’t?! If you have trouble with the term "consciousness-raising", you can also describe the phenomenon as "serenity" or "gaining wisdom". We live, we learn and we start all over again. Back to round one is not only the motto of Wheel of Fortune. However, it is exactly these experiences that we can grow from and develop into true greatness at some point. We don't need to spend a long time in a Buddhist or Christian monastery, nor do we need mind-expanding substances or near-death experiences. Daily life teaches us everything we need on the way towards higher consciousness. The way there is not necessarily paved with pleasurable experiences, or obviously enlightening ones. It is quite enough to simply let things take their course and wait with excitement for the moment when you just know. The following five circumstances we present to you in this article will pinpoint for you when you have climbed to a higher level of consciousness.
1. Togetherness replaces competition
If you're tired of constant competition and cat fights in the workplace, you probably can't wait for this moment of enlightenment. If bullying and jockeying for position can give way to cultivated teamwork, there’s hope for everybody. A positive group dynamic also has many additional benefits: Productivity increases, new enjoyment of work brings an unprecedented wave of motivation, and the bottom line is that everyone involved is happier and more successful. However, this type of teamwork only has a chance of going from idealized theory to practice if everyone involved supports the emotional workflow. This is where you might meet resistance. Almost every team has someone on board who seems to feed on negative energy and shuns harmony and friendly cooperation. These saboteurs are still light years away from a higher consciousness, probably do not even know that it exists. Unfortunately, one cannot convert these toxic people. In most cases, they are decidedly adverse to any form of advice. However, once the newfound group dynamic has gained momentum, even these chronic killjoys find it difficult not to join in. Continuing to resist pulling together at that point essentially amounts to refusing to work. Corralling them is possible, if not easy – but no one said that you’d achieve higher consciousness without a bit of a fight.
2. Ease instead of stress is your motto
This is probably the most beautiful realization of a higher level of consciousness. It is possible to take it easy and gain more. Or rather, if you take it easier, you not only get more out of life, but surprisingly, you also have more success. Letting go, easing up on the reins a little bit and adopting an easy-come, easy-go mentality is the true recipe for a successful life. Instead of suffering burnout, the new lightness will reward you with a whole series of wonderful successes that you would never have achieved with perseverance and dogged ambition. If it's hard for you to break out of the hamster wheel you've been trained to run on and swap a merciless schedule for a stoic, take-it-easy attitude, it's best to start with small steps. Try to evaluate your daily life for what is really, really important to you, what should enjoy absolute priority. The rest you can then place into less important categories and thus slowly but surely see where you need to focus to bring more peace and serenity into your life.
3. Destructive, bad habits are passé
Whether it's smoking, an unhealthy diet, or a consistent refusal of any form of exercise, your higher consciousness knows precisely which habits aren’t doing you any favors. Change your perspective, and your interests will gradually embark in exciting directions that will literally open your eyes to new experiences. Among the bad habits you will now successfully renounce is the maintenance of one-sided false friendships and toxic relationships. And the desire to please everyone and to be liked by everyone? That you can safely bury in your quest for a higher level of consciousness. Achieving this state is like taking off in a hot air balloon; you cannot successfully leave the ground behind until the ballast is dropped.
4. Action and gossip leave you cold
What may have been of burning interest to you in the past is now water under the bridge. Other people's lives are their business, not yours. You notice more and more how you react with increasing indignation when force-fed the latest stories from the rumor mill. Your new motto in life is: live and let live. This applies to friends and acquaintances just as much as it does to celebrities or other public figures you used to be very interested in. It is simply no longer important what other people do, say or think. You are completely at peace with yourself and your life, continue to take care of your loved ones, and otherwise just trying to be a good, happy person. This occupation fills your day and requires no outside distractions. Also, over the years you've learned how negatively rumors, conjecture, and the all-too-common workplace gossip affect your mental well-being. Now, any kind of negativity is just annoying to you because you know it disturbs your inner peace and psychological balance.
5. Gratitude and appreciation rule your life
Probably the clearest sign that you have reached a higher level of consciousness is in your appreciation of the present. If you know every day anew what you have in your life and appreciate this with gratitude and respect, you have already reached the first level towards enlightenment. Life is always, always a gift, even if it teaches us hard lessons and puts stumbling blocks in our way. Those who know what they have in this life are richer and wealthier than the entire Forbes list combined. American writer Wallace Wattles even goes a step further: the daily practice of gratitude is one of the ways our wealth will come to us.
