This morning I witnessed an inner voice try and distract me from my morning routine. The routine – which is under 10 minutes – helps me keep my vibration high as well as create strength in my body.
Maybe you’re familiar with this voice too? 
This voice is the expression of the smallness; the part that feels “safer” in the comfort zone avoiding feelings of:
– I’m too much
– I won’t be liked
– Worried about what others might think
– Afraid of failing
– It is too hard or too much
– It won’t work out any way so, why bother?
This voice was offering up good reasons, excuses and distractions to keep me from doing something that is ultimately good for my mind, body, soul, growth, energy, expansion, strength…
I just watched and listened. Instead of going right into my routine, I made my bed and started sorting laundry… listening, witnessing but, not buying into it’s full diversion.
After the voice fully expressed itself and felt heard, I got into position for my routine.
In my morning and within the routine I gave myself space for the voice to be heard. I also kept myself committed to the agreement I have for my mind, body, and soul nourishment.
As I moved through my routine, I was fully present with my actions – how I felt and observing the strength I have gained since re-integrating this practice. Feeling grounded, centered and connected at the start of my day. This conscious, positive reinforcement reminded me of the reasons why I take this time for myself every morning. This thought pattern is what will support new behavior and habits.
The important piece is all parts of me were served today. The smallness was heard yet, what took precedence was ultimately for my highest and best good. The threat of the smallness was not so strong because I gave it space and heard what it had to say.
I share this because if you’re having trouble creating a new routine, making a change in your life, or adding in more positive practices to your lifestyle, this may be one aspect of why you are unable to keep your goals and commitments to yourself –
– a part(s) of you is being ignored, squished down, threatened, or numbed out. This part may be hidden from your awareness. When that is the case, it is because the part(s) are likely running a pattern or cycle or protecting a wound and releasing the ‘protection’ can feel threatening.
So, its not just about failing a goal or succumbing to the voice. An inner part of you is doing what it feels like it is meant to be doing – protecting you or keeping you safe.
For example… When I was on my weigh loss journey – where I ultimately kept off 100 pounds – there were unconscious parts of me so frigin afraid of shedding the ‘protection’ I had unconsciously built around me. Those parts are what kept putting the weight back on. Because letting the weight go meant so much more than having health.
As I allowed space and a voice for those inner pieces of me, the weight released.
If you’re feeling stuck, ready to create a shift but feel blocked, have fear but don’t know why…
1. Be aware of the inner voices but, don’t allow them to make your decisions.
2. Keep focused on the ultimate goal and how you want to feel. What is in the way will naturally rise (then see #1).
3. Listen to the voices and observe where your inner limit and comfort zone stops you but, then continue to move through ( see #2)
4. Create new beliefs and feelings about what it takes to create the change you seek.
5. Remember, these inner parts were created for some reason and feel it is their job to keep things as they are. Be gentle and kind to yourself as you become aware of these parts of you.
So many are coming face to face with their inner blocks and barriers and feeling the desire and urge for more. Likely, if you’ve gotten this far, part of you is resonating with what I’ve shared and ready to move beyond the space of comfort.
If you’re feeling like something is in your way but, you cannot see or get beyond it, lets do some work together. My intuitive readings and healing programs not only help identify what is going on deep within, at the core, they also provide you with the energy shift and healing that supports the release and alignment with your highest and best – all with ease and grace.
I’m actually excited about my morning routine! (it really can be as simple as changing your perspective and the things that voice says)
What are you excited about?
What space are you ready to be in?
What is beyond your comfort zone that you are ready to claim for yourself?
