The Personal Checkin

1/22/2019

Learning to hear your body’s messages can be tricky when we have gotten out of the habit of listening to ourselves.  In adulthood, we care for so many and have so many to answer to that we lose accountability to our own bodies.

In my health journey, many people have given me all kinds of advice - well-intentioned most of the time.  Yet, what works for them may not work for me and vice versa. Being in touch with my own body helps me to know when to push, when to rest, when fatigue or sickness is starting, what my sensitivities are.

Many clients come to me unable to hear what the body is saying or what their intuition is saying.  As the first step to greater intimacy with yourself, start asking yourself throughout the day what you want.

I adopted a practice several years ago of asking questions addressed to my body constantly: what do you want to wear today? What do you want for breakfast? Do you want to walk to work or take the subway?  Do you want to call this person back now or a little later? Do you want to read or listen to music? Do you like spinning or do you do it because your best friend does? Do you think spending money on flowers is a waste or is that another’s idea?

After about a month of this, you start to hear your own voice very clearly.  Knowing your voice is the first step in reclaiming yourself.

with love + light,
​Julia
