Your body will always respond to you.
It will respond to the environment you’re in,
To the conversations you’re having or not having,
To the food you’re eating,
To the decisions you make.
It will always respond.
Years ago I was having to make a big decision.
I remember being so in my head about it, that it weighed so heavy on me.
I was trying to think my way through it.
Going over every possible scenario,
If I go this way, it could look like this,
If I go that way, it could look like that.
No matter how much I thought about each possible way to go, I still couldn’t come to which choice was the right one.
I wanted to get it right the first time,
What if I make the wrong choice, how will that impact things.
The weight got so heavy, I didn’t know what to think anymore.
Nothing was clear, if anything I was more confused & overwhelmed.
Then the words ‘just choose’ came through.
And after the longest pause ‘I chose’ and said it out loud.
The moment I heard my own voice speak my decision.
My body responded and I knew straight away the decision I just made wasn’t the one for me. My first decsion was trying to go down the easier, more accepting, more understood route, yet that wasn’t what was right for me. The right one was a more painful, scarier, lonlier route to take and I was wanting to avoid all of that.
In that moment I changed my decsion to what I knew to be true and started to walk towards it. I know to this day, following that was the best decision.
There was also a time when I made a decision knowing it wasn’t the one to take and chose not to listen to my body’s response. That decision rocked me in away I could have avoided, and wished to turn back the clock, however, it showed me a very valuable lesson that has changed me forever…without it, I wouldn’t have changed.
There is no wrong decision, we simply just have to make one.
Your body will always respond to your decision and it’s a matter of learning to listen to what it’s trying to communicate to you. If you listen & follow it, you will understand it, it won’t necessarilly be easy, but in the end it will make complete sense.
If you choose not to listen to your body’s response, life will keep presenting similiar situations, experiences, giving you the choice to chose differently each time. You have free will to change your decision in any moment. Your decision is just that – a decision, a declaration to yourself. It’s the acts you take after your decision that creates the change and will require you to hold yourself during that change.
When you can bring your decision (mind) into communication with your body and have them on the same page, contentment begins to present itself in your world.
PS.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, I created a little game of BINGO for the month of March. To celebrate you and all the women in your world, the ones who have walked before us, the ones who walk alongside us, and the one’s we raise.
Here’s to choice, freedom and a little more joy.
Happy International Women’s Day xox
