Inner Wisdom

Listening to our inner wisdom or our intuition isn’t always easy. But…I believe it’s necessary for living our best life.

And what I mean by that, is, recently I’ve been challenged with a work situation that isn’t working. Every shift leaves me in tears and back pain that isn’t normal for me. Serving usually inspires and energies me. But not lately. I always feel so strong. Except recently.

Someone so wise and dear to me told me that resistance to change can cause back pain. Fear of lack of money, can cause it also. And I listened for a while. Because I love her. And because I made a commitment to a new endeavour and I trusted my new schedule. But I’ve worked through my money issues and I’m embracing change with excitement.

Then a doctor friend told me that 80% of people over 30 have back pain. And while that may be true, I don’t think I should be coming home from work to recover before going back to work. My time off can’t be enjoyed since I can barely move around. Even sleeping has been a challenge.

I’ve done a lot of work here and I’m embracing the change. But my body is clearly telling me it’s not working. And it’s been telling me for weeks now. I’ve just being ignoring what is so clear to me. And I did that because I don’t like to disappoint people. I like to follow through on my commitments But I can’t do that at the expense of my own health.

I realized for me that the fear existed in holding on to something that wasn’t working, because I hadn’t found a replacement job. But I believe that if instead I let go of something that doesn’t feel aligned and trust my inner wisdom, the perfect opportunity will come along because I’m making space for it. And so I quit. And I’m ready to embrace something new. And I trust it’s amazing. Because I deserve that. We all deserve amazing.

And maybe there will be a few more temporary endeavours before finding the perfect fit. And I’m okay with that.

But I have big dreams. And I’m not giving up. I know it’s just a matter of time before I watch them all come true.
