The other day I was thinking – how are we already in the second month of the New Year?! It feels like time is just flying by and I realized, I’m here flying by with it. This thought brought me back to the intentions behind why I started this wellness blog in the first place:
- To help inspire others through sharing my personal experiences that led me to actually start living intuitively
- To hold myself accountable
What it means to live intuitively wasn’t something I learned overnight, it stemmed from various personal and unexpected life experiences. The commonality behind all of these boiled down to one thing: I was neglecting that little voice within myself. We all know what I’m talking about, the voice that knows the answer to 99.9% of the things we have yet to put words to… ya, that’s the one! So I had to ask myself, if I knew this existed within, why was I continuing to silence it?
For me, it stemmed from fear of not having control. I was always someone who was beyond worried about the outcome of any given situation that I figured as long as I can control whatever it was, then I would be happy. BOY WAS I SO WRONG. This fear led to numerous unhealthy habits in all aspects of my life and ultimately led me to neglecting my own physical and mental health. From the outside, I looked like what one would consider “healthy,” and that’s the scary part, you never know what is really going on internally with a person when you base the assumption off physical alone. And this is exactly why I am so incredibly passionate about starting your health journey from the inside out.
Living the life I live now didn’t come easy, but honestly, what worth having in life does? It’s hard work, it’s dedication and it takes the ability to become brutally honest with yourself. I’m a big visual learner and huge believer that when you write something down you’re that much more likely to retain it. So if you don’t know where you start, START WRITING 🙂 What are your goals? WRITE THEM DOWN. How do you feel when you wake up? When you go to bed? WRITE IT DOWN. How do you feel when you are alone? WRITE IT DOWN. What do you feel before you eat your favorite meal of the day? And how do you feel after it? WRITE IT DOWN.
Moral of the story is to start really listening to yourself. For some of us this may come easier than it will for others. If you’re like me and you’re reading this like, “well my mind says one thing in one moment then another in another moment, so what do I listen to,” my answer is this: always go with the first thing that comes to mind, because that right there is your intuition. The thoughts that follow, well that’s your mind, and I hate to break it to you, but it’s trying to play tricks on you darling.
I like to look at ones intuition as our bodies built in compass, because it provides direction when we don’t quite have the answer, and will continue to guide us through living the life we are truly meant to be living. Once I stopped trying to control the outcome of my life, and committed to being fully present and living intuitively, I’ve finally found this place of freedom, self-love, gratitude and overall balance. Remember, nothing changes if nothing changes (one of my favorite quotes btw), CONSISTENCY IS KEY and that’s why I live by the words –> PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION.
