Ever know you need, should, could do something…and you
don’t? You mean to, you really do, but other tasks pop up. In your mind you
say, “I’ll get right to it after I finish this.” But you never do.
And you end up regretting it.
I hate when that happens.
Mostly I hate knowing I could have easily avoided an
unpleasant situation. All I had to do was listen to that little voice within
that I rely on for guidance, support and balance. The divine voice from my soul
that speaks truth to my life and always guides me to my highest and best. It’s
the part I teach my coaching clients to relax into, to trust, to follow above
all else.
Now why wouldn’t I listen to THAT?
The same reason you don’t always listen. We’re human. We
make mistakes and we don’t always follow through on the guidance we receive.
Even when we know better. We think we don’t have time, we’ll “get to it later”
or we come up with a million rational sounding reasons why the guided action
can wait.
Nope. You get specific guidance at the perfect divine time
for you. That’s how it works. Every. Single. Time.
And still we resist.
That’s what happened to me last month. I’ve had a
beautifully busy few weeks and realized some days my schedule was so tight, I
didn’t even have time to eat during the day. To make matters worse, I was so
excited about new projects, that I was finding it hard to sleep. Very unlike
me.
I kept hearing “schedule more meditation time,” “relax,”
“eat clean foods,” and “no need to rush.” I was tired, not paying attention to
the signals my body was sending or what I was feeding it. All the while my
divine voice was doing its best to guide me.
But I didn’t listen. I received the message and didn’t take
the action I was given. (Sound familiar?)
I got sick. Like had to “go to the doctor” sick. I came
home to start my antibiotics and eat a slice of humble pie. (Not my favorite.)
I’ve learned – again – that no project, work schedule or
even family obligations can have my full attention when I’m in the land of “busy.”
Only my ego thinks I’m “too busy.” My soul trusts everything is happening at
the perfect time and will guide me each step of the way.
I only have to listen…
