Here are 4 steps to get you started so that you can fully hear what your body is telling you.
P.S.
She/He has her own unique intelligence. She/He always tells the truth.
1. Breathe consciously and deeply: Feel the oxygen move in and out and through you to all parts of your body, not just your chest.
2. Stretch deeply and luxuriously: Focus and BE with the muscles you are stretching…as thoughts come and go in your mind, let your mind know that you are spending time with your body for this moment.
3. Think like a dancer: As you move through your daily activities, think of yourself as a dancer on the stage. Feel each movement.
As you reach for something, be conscious not only of the goal but of the physical process of reaching for it or picking it up.
I encourage you to be with your body as you move through your day.
4. Get in the habit of including your body in your decision-making processes:
See how your body is responding to one of your choices
Notice when you and your body feel light, then you realize it is a right choice.
And
Notice when your body feels tight and uncomfortable about a choice…
Perhaps this is a warning to wait.
In this scenario…movement is key…any kind of movement…this movement will arouse all of your senses to make the right choice for you in the moment.
