People speak from what they’ve seen in their life or what they’ve accepted as true. Being open-minded can be useful, but there are times when people share things that are true in their experience and not yours. This episode talks about why your best advocate is YOU.
I recently went through a medical situation where I needed to self-advocate. It reminded me of the importance of advocating for yourself and how speaking up can shift the outcome. We don’t have to take what the world hands to us. Honestly, we can choose what aligns to us over and over as we make a new path forward.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP137’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Self-advocacy often starts from seeking to understand yourself. One of the best things about understanding yourself is that you build a storehouse of answers so you can design the best course of action for yourself.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about why you are your best advocate. Even when you evolve and change your mind, your conscious intention to choose differently is self-advocacy. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Do you know yourself better than anyone?
- Do you take time to self-reflect and listen to your own heartbeat?
- Do you pursue your intuition with curiosity?
- If you recognize that you’re constantly evolving, do you give yourself permission to choose again?
- Do you seek to understand yourself on a deeper level?
- As you identify your truths, are you communicating them to advocate for yourself?
It’s important to learn about yourself and practice making conscious decisions so it’s easier to stay in alignment from moment to moment. As it becomes more natural, you’ll find it easier to communicate your truth.
Remember to stay true to yourself as you navigate the path towards your goals, your dreams, and your aligned life. Reflect on your truth with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Are you taking time to self-reflect when something feels off?
- When you notice unalignment, do you take time to research what would be in better alignment with you?
