Trust in Self Above All Else

This past week I was given some information from an old friend that totally threw me from my centre...⁠

It activated SO much fear in me - that it struck a deep chord and I spent a couple of days questioning if I could actually trust myself...⁠

I struggled to relax into my body, juggling my mind's questioning as to whether this "new" information I received could be true and what that meant about my inner guidance...⁠

A few days later, I've come back into connection with my body and realized the ironic timing of this situation...⁠

I've recently been dropping into an even deeper level of trust in myself, and the universe was clearly throwing me a bit of a test 🤓⁠

But on the other side of it, I realized (once again) that I can't trust anything if not myself, above all else.⁠

I access my truth through sensing my body. And when I feel emotionally ACTIVATED, it is hard to access this truth.⁠

Therefore, amidst an emotional charge, my ONLY focus in those moments is to be PRESENT to my nervous system.⁠

I use a variety of "orienting" tools to de-escalate my nervous system, and I know that every time I can bring myself back to safety, MY truth becomes clear.⁠

There is absolutely nothing wrong with learning NEW information, integrating it, and deciding to change your direction/beliefs/etc...⁠

Yet it is key to actually ALLOW this integration first & foremost. Meaning, take space to reconnect to your body - your inner guidance - and let it tell you how best to proceed given the new info.⁠

De-escalate your nervous system. Come back INTO the body. And choose how to respond from there ✨⁠
