Have you ever suddenly realized you have lost touch with yourself?
Recently I realized how much I was allowing external cues to dictate my actions. From meal plans telling me how much, when and what to eat to my interpretations of others judgements, thoughts and expectations on how I should handle life. This is incredibly out of line for me...(okay maybe not the meal plan part...working on that). However, I realize accepting these cues puts me further and further out of touch with my own intuitive nature. No matter the circumstance I believe it is critical to keep grounded with a solid root system of thoughtout values, principles and goals. The more you nurture your root system the further and deeper it will grow. With such security in your foundation the higher you can reach and the more you can achieve!
Besides, putting so much effort into constantly living by others visions and standards is exhausting and can leave you feeling unfullfilled. Only you know your true desires, your dreams, strengths and aspirations. I find when listening to my inner gps (this can take practice) and responding accordingly I am more inclined to perform at my best, more inspired to live with intensity because I am living with passion! Be mindful of why you choose to do what you do and make sure you are doing it for the right reasons. Along the way remember to play and have fun!
