Why do you ignore your body?

I have noticed some severe and debilitating symptoms while traveling for work lately. Both incidents were linked to my stomach and came seemingly out of nowhere. One day, I asked myself: “What can’t I stomach at the moment? What gets me in the gut?”

Normally, we would just pop a pill to get rid of the symptoms asap. We live in a busy world where we have to “function” and might not have the time or patience to go deeper when we have a DIS-ease.

But those shortcuts will bite us in the butt, and our bodies will become louder and louder if we don’t listen to them.

Reflecting on what was happening, I realized I feared new experiences. I feared being unable to handle the situation, the expectations, and my lack of setting clear boundaries and standing up for myself.

After two years of not traveling for work, I had to give myself time and grace to adapt to the new situation. Now, I am contemplating where I am investing my energy and which projects I will decline as they are not aligned with me. Thank you, my dear body!

Next time you feel pain or discomfort, instead of trying to get rid of the symptoms immediately, try to allow yourself to get still.?

Seek to communicate with your inner voice and respond to your needs.

For example, if you are tense in your shoulders, ask yourself where you are rigid and tense in your life. What’s going on??

Learn how to be receptive to what your body is telling you.

That could look like drinking water, resting, moving your body, or doing a calming healing practice like yoga nidra. It could also be through conscious breathing or journaling about what you are experiencing and feeling.

During my 1:1 coaching, I integrate more and more body and heart wisdom to help my clients to get out of their minds and into feeling again, creating that heart-mind connection.
