Are you falling into this trap?
Many of us aren’t taught how to access and listen to our own truth.
We live in a culture where celebrities and experts are revered and we defer our own authority to those who “know best.”
But what if they didn’t actually know best?
What if you always have been and always will be the most knowledgeable person on this planet on YOU? How could you not be?
So the next time you have the urge to ask someone else the answer to a question you could be answering for yourself, why not try asking yourself instead?
Please don't give yourself a hard time if you get stuck or feel kind of awkward.
Connecting in with our own truth is a skill not many of us are taught but it IS a skill we can develop.
Common pitfalls when trying to access our own truth include:
βοΈ Expecting an answer immediately
βοΈ Expecting an answer in the form of voice or clear Yes/No
βοΈ Expecting it to work like it does for a friend or someone else
βοΈ Interpreting your own fear/trauma as Truth
We all access our own truth in different ways.
Here are some ways to experiment with and see if one comes more easily for you:
π§βοΈ Ask a question in your journal and free write on the answer
π§βοΈ Ask a question and sit in meditation
π§βοΈ Ask a question and go for a walk with it
π§βοΈ Ask a question and dream on it
π§βοΈ Ask a question and take a bath with it (kinda like HP in the Triwizard tournament ;)
π§βοΈ Ask a question and ask your heart / belly / womb / body part you connect with
Remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. Have patience and keep exploring.
It's very common that my clients don't know how to access their own truth and we work on this for a while.
If this is new for you, it's often helpful to have someone else hold space for you to connect in. I've got 2 x 1:1 coaching spots available now and would love to support you.
Just imagine what could be possible if you stopped giving your power away to experts and authority figures and instead cultivated your own inner authority and a rock-solid foundation of self-trust.
You would be unstoppable π
