I don't like to sit around and wait for good things
to happen on their own but instead, I like to do what I can to make my life the
same as the life I envision myself living. I try to get as much as I can out of
the opportunities that are presented to me while ensuring that I am opening up
doors for myself on my own. If I am not happy with something in my life, I am
determined to make things better instead of sitting back and letting the
unhappiness fester inside me. I try to always turn my homework in on time and
maintain a responsible lifestyle so I can reach my full potential in school. I
try to take classes that I know will challenge me and lead me to achieve a
higher intellect. I also know that my Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced because I
feel secure with my friends and family and feel that I can trust them with
almost anything.

Also being unable to make decisions or recognize inner desires. On the other
end of the spectrum, one can become overly spacey and cannot connect with or
function in the outside world. Headaches, sinus issues, seizures, learning
disabilities, and sleep disorders are all physical issues associated with an
unbalanced Third Eye chakra as well.

learn through experience and being open to abilities such as telepathy and ESP

I am having a hard time listening to my inner-voice when
it comes to what I want to do in life. I know that I have a lot of time to
think about it but I'm feeling very conflicted between studying for a stable
job, like a doctor, or following one of passions, which is fashion. I can't
seem to follow my intuition and realize which job would make me happier. I am
also feeling so caught up with studying and all the work that I have to get
done before the year is over that I am having a hard time imagining the future
and not focusing on myself in the moment. I am getting so caught up that I am
forgetting to pay attention to the loved ones in my life instead of just
concentrating on myself and the things I need to get done. I think I need to
step back and give myself some breaks to hang out with my family and my
friends. Also, after I am done with this year, I feel like I will have a lot
more time for self-exploration and self-realization and will be able to access
my intuition better.
