Life’s too precious to fill my time with tolerations and “good enough”.

With my recent health issues, I’ve chosen an opportunity to really make sure that my life is aligned. Like REALLY. Every aspect.

I mean, my life was AWESOME when all this came down in January. That’s been part of my puzzlement and resistance to it, actually. Why would I be faced with such challenges when I’m so in the sweet spot of my purpose? (On some level, I know it’s because there’s a clearing out for the next phase.)

Our emotions and bodies have intelligence. In a society that numbs out both as much as possible, we deny the wisdom they have for us.

And my emotions and body are talking! I could try to resist it. I could attempt to control it. I could ignore it. Yet all those approaches prolong the process and lead to more chronic issues.

So, I’m listening. I’m tuning IN to hear what information is there. I’m still discovering the “translations”. i.e What is my body attempting to tell me? What are my emotions desiring to help me see or feel?

Life gives us feedback. For instance, stress is feedback. It’s an effect of choices you are making (or not making). Not honoring your truth, eating unhealthy, not enough self care, pent up grief…. just some examples of things that create stress in your system.

Stress is telling you… YOU NEED TO CHANGE. The balance is off. It’s not something you have to live with. It’s not something you have to put up with. It’s not a prescription to a new “normal”.

My advice? Take the wisdom of your body and emotions seriously. They are part of your guidance system. It’s time to listen.

I am. Humbly.
