The Inner Compass: How to Tune into Your Desires and Trust Them to Guide You

When you’re a busy, often overwhelmed mom or working woman, it’s easy to ignore the gentle nudges of your deepest dreams and goals. There’s always a meal to cook, a deadline to meet, or an email to send. But underneath the rush of busyness, your inner compass—your authentic desires—is quietly waiting to guide you toward true fulfillment.

Why Tuning In Matters

Many of us spend our days reacting to external demands instead of acting from an inner sense of purpose. Your desires aren’t frivolous; they’re signals, showing you what matters most to you. When you learn to trust those signals, you can make career and life decisions that feel less forced and more aligned with who you truly are.

Three Ways to Hear Your Inner Compass

1. Create Micro-Pockets of Stillness

Even a 5-minute pause can calm the mental noise. Close your eyes, take three deep breaths, and ask yourself, “What do I really want right now?” Let any insights surface without judgment.

2. Listen to Your Body’s Yes and No

Pay attention to how your body reacts when you consider different choices. Do you feel a lift in your chest (a “yes”) or a sinking feeling in your stomach (a “no”)? Physical cues can be an immediate compass.

3. Journal Your Desires Daily

Keep a notebook on your nightstand and jot down any whispers of “wouldn’t it be amazing if…” These small affirmations help clarify what truly lights you up, even if you’re knee-deep in responsibilities.

Trusting the Guidance

Once you start tuning in, the real challenge is trusting what you hear. Self-doubt might whisper, “I don’t have time for that,” or “Is this desire even valid?” Remember, every dream you hold is valid. Trust that the guidance you receive is there for a reason, nudging you toward experiences and opportunities meant for you.
