Day 79: The body knows 🧘

Does saying yes to an opportunity make you feel expanded or contracted?

July 18, 2024

Hey, friend!

Do you know what I find fascinating?

How the body just knows.

What I mean is that our physical selves constantly send us signals, indicating whether something aligns with us or not. 

You've likely encountered phrases like "trust your gut" or "something doesn't feel right," haven't you?

We often underestimate the depth of knowledge our bodies hold. And it’s funny how frequently we seek external validation for our decisions, consulting friends and others for guidance.

However, if we took the time to look inward and truly listen to our body's messages - really tuning into those sensations - we'd often find the answers we seek already within us.

Now let’s go to the prompt:

Journal Prompt

Consider a decision you have to make. This could range from a significant decision like accepting a new job to a simpler one like responding to a dinner invitation for this evening. Now ask yourself, “Does saying yes to this opportunity make me feel expanded or contracted?”

Take a moment to tune into your body's sensations. Then, journal about what you perceive your body is communicating to you about this decision.

Happy journaling,

Kelsey
