  • Intuition. How to honor your gut feeling.

    What is your gut feeling telling you?

    We are always being guided and we all experience intuition throughout our life. In a sense, it is our ability tomake well informed decisions. That is through the information coming through our body and how well we are able to discern and process that information.

    Lifestyle contributes to your connection with your intuition. Do you give yourself time to listen, trust and take action?

    The gut has a stron connection with your ability to saty centered and to respond rather than react. The gut brain axis influences your central nervous system and therefore influences your mental capacity and/or ability to make well informed decisions not influenced by eotions or habituated thoughts. 

    - Feed your gut to thrive as asupporter of your choices. 

    - Through feeding your gut, you create a symbiotic relationship with your gut and can then deepen the trust between the information coming through and the gut feelings the enteric nervous sstem is sending. 

    Practice awareness of the different qualities of throughts, emotions and intutive insights, the senses of knowng beyond reason. Through meditation and reflection practices you can discern the subtle differences between all of these avenues of information. 

    Practice, refine and repeat. 

    Do it often and notice when your intuitive insights and actions are acurate. The more you notice and acknowledge truth and consistency, the trust can deepen and your gut can become your guide, your inner compass for navigating life!

    Take care and much love to you,

  • It's never too late to change your behaviors

    Its never too late to begin change.

    Connect with a why. Why do you wish to change your behaviors?

    Its a state of active participation rather than passive victim mentality. The I am a result of the outer world rather than I create my world and choose how I interact with it.

    The what and how will come, but you need a solid strong reason for why you want to make change in the first place.

    Common reasons may include:

    - Something isn’t working

    - you aren’t feeling your best

    - you aren’t at your ideal body weight

    - you crave a deeper sense of connection

    Why do you want to shift what ever it is?

    Your why statement is often underestimated and I believe it to be the most important part of change. It is your anchor for alignment, guiding every choice in the direction of your desired change.

     

    When you have your strong grounded why, the reason behind your change, then decide a small action to take right now. You might think that you want to make a big change, great go for it, just know that small steps over time create gain momentum and contribute to big changes.

     

    Over time small actions create big results. A huge freight ship can’t just make a quick turn, it takes time to redirect and align to a desired destination.

     

    Understand the reason behind your why. Is it for the good of others? Or only for the good of myself, do I wan to get in shape because I will look better at the beach, or because I will have the ability to play, have fun and play with grandkids, age without the fast degradation of the body.

     

    Does you changing your behaviors affect those around you?

    Will your new behaviors and habits uplift those around you?

    These are great questions because it gives you a deeper purpose behind the actions you take.

     

    If you know what you want to change invite some curiosity about why. Do you know why?

    What does your gut feeling tell you?

    The gut feeling is our sense of intuition coming through and has the ability to guide us that is if you choose to listen and trust.

     

    Be sure your why is a deep enough reason to stay anchored in.

    Not a why that will change with your emotions or the phases of the moon.

     

    Then chose the smallest action step. Tomorrow come back to your why and align another action. Remember, the pyramids weren’t built in a day, you dont have to change in a day, just know that coming back to your why will help the process and be your anchor for realigning each day.

    I hope you have a wonderful day!
