If your best friend came to you feeling down and tired, you’d tell them to take it easy or ask them what they need. Why don’t we extend the same grace for ourselves? This episode talks about listening to your signals.
I’m asking for grace and healing vibes today since I’m recovering from having a fever the past couple of days. I felt crappy and drained on top of having little appetite. Since I love the conversations we have, I pulled together enough strength to show up positively and interact with Striders.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP125’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Honestly, I hold space for when I feel aligned and not aligned. In this episode, I’m not aligned with my body. You can use this as your reminder to check in with yourself, slow down, and listen to your signals.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about listening to your signals and learning to flow with your natural rhythm. Factors such as lack of sleep and stress can make it easy to get side tracked and miss the signals your body sends. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Are you listening to your body?
- Are you honoring the signals your body sends to you on a daily basis?
- How are you holding space to stay nourished and aligned with your True Stride?
- What usually happens if you find yourself not listening to the signs, and do you want a different experience?
- Are you willing to make changes?
- Where can you release schedule limitations so you can have more time to respond to your signals?
Too many times we simply use our bodies as tools and push ourselves too far. Instead, let’s partner with our bodies that will be with us for the rest of our lives.
We can show up more fully when we intentionally listen to our signals. Be proactive with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Can you figure out how to give yourself what you need?
- Can you honor yourself and your needs in a holistic way?
- Are you able to treat your body like you would a best friend?
- As you receive signals, are you listening intentionally?
- Are you prioritizing self-care with actions?
- What are you noticing in your body that you need right now?
- What are you giving it in this moment?
