THE ANSWERS YOU'RE SEEKING...

The answers you're seeking won't come in the rush of life, only in the pause, in the quiet times. Maybe the only quiet moment you allow yourself to have is when you lay your head on the pillow at night, and that there, is enough to share the answers with you.

If you can create even more pauses, more quiet moments, the more you will hear, the more your truth will start to pour in. And I know...it's these moments many try to avoid. We all already know there are things bubbling under the surface, wanting us to listen to, the answers we're searching for, yet we can be afraid of just what we will hear - I understand this. But none of it is there to hurt you, it's there to support you.

We can get to a point wondering why things aren't working.

You feel you're trying so many things to make things better, correct it.

Trying harder, doing more, buying more pills, potions, tools, you name it, the quick fix to help you get to where you want to go - yet still things don't change, don't shift like you want them too. The rush, the noise of life, has a good hold of you, so this is when more pauses are required, more quiet moments.

And no, it doesn't need to be sit on your butt and meditate, not at all. A simple walk will do the trick, a swim in the ocean letting the waves move you, sitting on a rock fishing, jumping in the car and just driving wherever you're guided to go.

Just you, with you.

We often look to what the majority have done, how they're doing, or continue on with what we've always done, yet each of us have different experiences, different personalities, different needs and there's never a one size fits all approach... there are definately approaches we can all access that are the same (all of which I teach inside The Art of Self) yet the answer we're looking for, for ourselves, they're unique to us. Sometimes they seem so left field, so different, that we don't trust them - we can feel like we're making shit up - yet you're not, not at all.

The answers that come to you...that's what you're required to listen to, to action.

Here are a few things I had to listen to...to some they may be seem deep, yet this is what was required of me, I heard it, I listened and I followed.

The weight I gained was my protection coat to stop me being physically intimate with someone, deep down I didn't fully trust myself - yet it's something I asked for and wanted change within myself (there were many layers to this decision that I had to work through that stemmed back years) Now I know it's safe for me to take my body back to what it was, one that's fit, healthy & strong again and do it for me, my future self and so my kids & grandkids also benefit from the new energy.

There was this false confidence and feeling of support I held that came when I was married, because back then I felt like a marriage made me look like I was doing ok in life...even if in the wrong relationship. Learning confidence, knowing I'm always supported & still successful in many ways, even without a relationship, has been such a learning curve. A healthy relationship feels safe, supportive & loving without thinking about it - you just feel it...but it's got to start with you first.

And on a lighter note (haha I think)- I've always known I'm creative, yet it's something that for the majority of life hasn't been accepted as a path to follow, I always felt like I had to prove myself - even though I have followed it, it's never been to my fullest...I've held back so much of what came to me, second guessed, cared too much about what others thought, or I just didn't match up to what success should look like. Now I'm allowing it all to come in...writing, photography (in many ways), cooking, dancing, sketching - I'm one expressive being, in many ways and finally I see it (or more so acknowledge it) and like that about myself. Now it gets to all have a place in my world - fully. It makes me a better person and a better mum.

We often have to go down a few more levels beneath the surface to see what's really going on with us and why things aren't changing or why things continue to repeat themselves and it's usually not what you think.

We have to ask ourselves, if we took certain things away,

How do we feel then?

How do we show up then?

What do we make that mean about ourselves then?

What could we do differently that brings us closer to what we actually want out of life?

It's what we fear most, what we avoidant, that we're required to lean into...

And to know what they are, we have to give space hear.

It will take more of your energy, more of your time and more of life passing by,

if you choose to not listen and follow the answers you've been given.

Follow them and you'll be gifted more of the life you've always known was for you.
