Follow Yourself

You’ve been so busy.  Going here.  Showing up there.  Following the steps.  Checking the boxes. So busy.  So so so busy getting things done.  Crossing them off the list.  Following what somebody else set out for you….

…….so busy that you’ve forgotten again, dear one, to follow yourself.

You’ve forgotten the quiet voice of your Heart.  The gentle nudge of your body.  The cutting edge of your mind’s discernment.

In your forgetting, you’ve lost your way.  Not surprising.  Following everyone else’s advice can only turn you around in circles. Leading you further from your center - away from your Heart.

You must know.  You can turn back.

It’s ok to move towards yourself - your body, your Heart, your intuitive knowing.

In fact, you’ll need to if you’re dreaming of an Authentic life.  You’re the ONLY one who knows your ways.  

Perhaps it seems impossible to extract yourself from the whirlwind of responsibility.  But it doesn’t have to be.

You could start by giving yourself permission.

You hold the reigns of your own life.  Grant your own sovereignty.  Be the monarch of your life.  And be benevolent; grant unrestricted permission to follow - impulse, urge, dream, desire.  Permission to set down everyone else’s agenda and take up your own.  (Even if your own is simply a quiet nap in the winter sun)

The world will keep going even without your influence, I promise.  Set it down fro a while and pick up what is only yours.  Follow yourself.  You might just come home to center, to peace, to unconditional love. Those deep qualities of your most Authentic lIfe.
