We sometimes show up as our own worst critic. As soon as we feel off we’re quick to give it meaning instead of taking a step back from it. This episode talks about coming back to center.
A buddy of mine recently confessed an experience he had when he went surfing. He told me how he couldn’t find his balance for some reason. He was wondering why he felt off, and came to the conclusion that it was not his day. Once he came back to shore, he realized his board was missing the center fin. He chuckled to himself realizing why he couldn’t find his center and was relieved that it wasn’t his fault.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP140’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. My buddy has me thinking about how many times we have self-doubts, limited beliefs, and questions towards our capabilities on any given day. When we’re not performing in the way we know we can, we question ourselves. We get critical without looking around us.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about giving yourself space to come back to center. There’s no need to criticize or doubt yourself the moment you feel off. You can change from day to day. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Where in your life can you laugh at this story because some of it reigns true?
- Are you able to laugh at yourself when you find yourself in similar situations?
- Can you look at the bigger picture to shift your energy in the direction you want to go?
- Where in your life are you wanting to accept a new identity?
Thinking about it, there are so many distractions that come our way. It’s natural for us to slow down and check our reality to get back into alignment.
Every single experience creates expansion and you are constantly gaining value. Come back to center with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- How do you want to release past performance expectations that no longer feel aligned in the present?
- How can you embrace this present moment and explore your current capabilities?
- If you’re having an identity shift, how can you come back to center and release emotional triggers?
- What triggers surface when you think of coming back to center?
- What are you facing in life and how can coming back to center serve you and those around you?
- What experiences help you feel aligned versus experiences of people pleasing?
- How can you reclaim your power?
