I've noticed a remarkable shift in how people approach leadership and decision-making lately. More individuals, including myself, are harnessing the wisdom of their bodies in these crucial moments. The past few months have presented challenges for many, stemming from changes, health issues, or other reasons. It reminded me of the days where a logical and analytical mindset dominated our decision-making processes - hope gone with the wind.
Yet, I'm thrilled to witness a growing number of individuals who now recognize and heed the signs their bodies provide, courageously making choices that defy convention. These instances are truly inspiring. Curiously, I've encountered individuals who, despite engaging in meditation, yoga, and mindfulness for years, yearned for a genuine connection with their own physical sensations and also those who simply ignore their bodies going toxic way for themselves and others.
Like the lyrics of Roxette's song 'Listen to Your Heart', we are inspired to listen more deeply to our bodies. In this case, let us create our own tune: 'Listen to Your Body.' Our bodies harbor an abundance of wisdom that can guide us in leadership roles and decision-making. By attentively noticing subtle cues like tension, gut feelings, or a sense of ease, we can make choices that are not only authentic but also deeply aligned. It may require practice, yet when we attune ourselves to our bodies, clarity and confidence infuse our decision-making process.
So, the next time you're confronted with a decision, take a pause, and listen to your heart...of sorry to your body. Put your trust in its wisdom and allow it to navigate you towards a path abundant with fulfillment. By embracing the profound connection between mind and body, we unlock the potential for purpose and contentment in both leadership and life.

12 个月For such a long time we were thinking that business is not personal and feelings are the F-word of organizations. And we probably all felt that there is something wrong with this assumption. After years of surpressing emotions, I found it difficult to reconnect with them. From my experience a path to do that leads through our bodies. We have learned how to numb that voice but not how to eliminate it. So sometimes if you can’t hear your heart, listen to your body. Thanks Marek for bringing it up to our brains ;)
