Your anxiety will start to lessen once you begin to notice, trust and act on the signals your body is giving you. The more you listen, the more you grow, connect and trust yourself.
Often we get stuck in what “should” be, instead of what is. When we ignore what is, then we are repressing our feelings and responses. When we ignore our feelings, they do not just disappear, they are stored in our body. When our feelings get stored in our bodies, they do not become lesser, they become louder. Our bodies become sick, tired and burnt out. Our bodies refuse to let us live the life that once was.
The more disconnected we are to our bodies, the more they break down. Resulting in feeling anxious, depressed, exhausted, unmotivated and even easily irritated.
But, connecting to our bodies when we have spent so much time disconnecting to them, takes time.
It starts with noticing your responses, sensations/feelings, thoughts and just allowing them to exist. This can be saying yes when you want to yes or saying no when you want to say no. Giving yourself the permission to be present to your feelings and the sensations that come up. This can be uncomfortable at first, but learning to sit with the discomfort can allow you to connect to the parts of you that you have been resisting or trying to control.
Give yourself permission to walk away from people/relationships, environments and jobs that drain you. Allow yourself to be present in the moments that feel good, and surround yourself with people and environme
nts that light you up. Listen to your body when it is time to stop, and rest when you need to rest.

Wednesday Wisdom ✨
There is a transformative power when it comes to validation. It’s not just about seeking validation from others; but about validating ourselves.
Validation acknowledges our emotions as valid and worthy of attention. It affirms our own experiences, fostering emotional intelligence and self- compassion. When we can validate ourselves, we’re less dependent on external validation. Thus, promoting healthier boundaries and communication within our relationships.
Self-Validation empowers us to trust our intuition and make decisions aligned with our inner wisdom. It’s about recognizing our strengths and capabilities, even when faced with challenges.
Remember, self-validation is a journey, not a destination. It requires practice, patience, and self-awareness 🤍
Here are few phrases to help you practice self-validation:
- “I am inherently worthy of love, respect, and acceptance. I deserve to treat myself with kindness and compassion.”
- “My needs are important and worthy of attention. It’s okay to prioritize self-care and set boundaries.”
- “It’s okay to feel [insert emotion]. My emotions are valid and worthy of acknowledgment.”
- “I trust my experiences and perceptions. They are valid reflections of my reality.”
