Focus on how it feels
There are so many expectations hanging over us: be this way, do that thing, look like that, achieve that goal, do it by this time... on and on the list goes, never ending and frankly, impossible to satisfy.
Making choices to fulfill these external expectations can lead to a sense of hollowness, frustration, loneliness, disconnection, and self-judgment.
The next time you are making a small decision, pause and reflect on which option feels best in your body. Look for warmth, peace, stability, hope, or energy. Then, make that choice.
The more that you start to notice these feelings, and act in alignment with them, the more your life will change. Learning to discern what our authentic selves really want is a skill that can help us to unlock our joy, creativity, wonder, courage, and so much more.
