10 Common Mistakes on a Spiritual Journey and How to Avoid Them

Your spiritual journey began the day you were born. Whether you are aware of it or not, you are on a journey that aims to go through your life lessons in order to be ready to put into practice the raw knowledge of your soul on Earth. During the journey, you will develop the foundation, the starting point from which you will get to know yourself
anew—your image; your story about yourself. Mistake is a concept that aims to define a mismatch between action and result. But in your spiritual journey, the result does not depend on the actions you take.
Your role is also an independent entity that will fulfill itself in any case. It does not need you to be expressed in the world. So, why should you realize your role in the world?

The answer is simple—this is one of the most available ways to reach full union with your soul.
Developing your spiritual journey is narrowing the gap between the image and the soul.
But in certain situations, the image steals your attention and disconnects the connection between the action you take and the result you want to achieve.
In such situations, people usually give up and wait for the results to come to them. In this article, I will review 10 methods that you should avoid in order to realize your goal: to reach full union with your soul and fulfill your role in the world.

Mistake #1: Discarding tools that you have not been able to use.

Every personal image is created as a result of a crisis of trust. In most cases, people divide what they know and do not know according to what their subconscious agrees or disagrees with. Check: Do you stop trying when your effort does not bear fruit?

Do you stop feeling when you are hurt?

Change the way you use the tool, do not give up on it – it is part of your role in the world!

Mistake #2: Dependence on results.

Every subject you study on Earth adds content, information, and data to your thinking. On the other hand, a spiritual journey changes the way you think. Most people come to their spiritual journey as a result of personal pain that they have not been able to resolve in ways that are considered normative, and therefore they turn to alternative paths.
This pain becomes the measure of the spiritual journey of those people. As long as it is not resolved, even if the way of thinking has changed completely and become much more ventilated, for them the journey is not complete.
As long as you have doubts about the path you are taking, be aware that you do not know it and develop curiosity towards the new process.

Mistake #3: Reality changes its role.

Your spiritual journey teaches you that you are the ones responsible for the reality you live in. It is very easy to use this argument for the pleasant things that happen, but it is very difficult to think about the need to create suffering or pain for yourself in life. As long as you stop judging reality in a dualistic way (good and bad) and move on to understanding the needs that you have not fulfilled and have created this reality, you remain on your own path.

Mistake #4: Avoiding Working on Emotional Pain

A spiritual journey requires dealing with emotions in a healthy way! It is important to distinguish between emotional work and spiritual work. In most cases, emotionally unstable people will not be able to go through a spiritual journey, and therefore there is no point in entering it. Even if you are emotionally stable, do not enter a spiritual journey in advance as long as your emotions are unstable.
Your emotions are a sign to stop. Whenever you feel emotionally unstable, stop the spiritual journey and examine what within you seeks emotional healing.

Mistake #5: Seeking perfection instead of progress

A spiritual journey is an endless journey. For the first time in human history, the further you go, the longer the road becomes. Many people have difficulty holding the energy wave of a prolonged effort and seek to end their spiritual journey.
Be careful; if you try to end your journey, you will return to the beginning.

Mistake #6: Free choice as a measure of independence.

How many times a day do you live the lives of other people? The question is especially aimed at people you admire, value, respect and want to be like. The more you can choose freely and do not judge the considerations through which you choose, the more authentic you remain. Note: If your authenticity is defined through a certain template that you must adhere to, it is a sign that you have not yet recognized the flexibility of free choice and that you are not yet independent in your spiritual journey.

Mistake #7: Spiritual Stereotypes

During the spiritual journey, people are freed from their story about themselves. There is a tendency to replace one story with another. This is the most elusive “mistake” of the entire list because it supposedly tells you the goals you want to strive for.
Who is a spiritual person for you? How does he relate to food, money, relationships, and values?
Note: A person who is going through a spiritual journey feels that the energy of lack is disappearing in his life and therefore he can allow himself to be everything freely. He doesn’t need to hurt people because he doesn’t believe that one energy comes at the expense of another.
Flex your authenticity.

Mistake #8: Motivation

In most cases, you will deal with a lack of synchronization between your energy bodies. There will be more abstract bodies and arrays like the heart and intuition, which will move at a much faster pace than your brain and body.
Such a gap can cause fatigue, lack of synchronization, and sometimes even despair. As long as you understand that energy does not come at the expense of the other. You can practice self-listening and check—which body or array needs your attention? Over time, you will not need to address each part separately because you will build the unified version of all your inner voices. The version from which you will fulfill your role in the world.

Mistake #9: Interpretation and meaning

The spectrum of absorption expands during a spiritual journey. Your interpretation and meaning can mix in such a situation. The interpretation was the way you understood the world before you began your spiritual journey.
Within it you may find a mix of your fear of difficulties and the way you think the world should be. The meaning is the effect of energy on your life and it happens by itself. You can release both and focus on who you are.

Mistake #10: Inner disconnection

In most cases, most of your attention on the spiritual journey will be devoted to getting used to the energy.
You will reacquaint yourself with yourself faster than you think.
This is not a mistake; just be careful not to judge it.

Take responsibility for your development; the rest will take care of itself.
