Do you struggle with making the right decisions? Do you want to know how to be the REAL YOU?
I recently made big changes in my life. I left my partner, community and moved cities. Wooooo, big stuff, although one year later, it’s all been worth it! 
How did I trust that I was making the best decisions? Sometimes I didn’t know, although there were some very clear signs along the path that helped me with making big life changes. Often when you make changes that are right for you, the changes are right for everyone else involved (although it may not seem like it at the time).
Inner Wisdom comes to me in a variety of ways. My ‘gut’ instincts have helped me. I recently said no to a job offer because it didn’t feel right. The job was going to give me lots of money. My gut was screaming Uh-uh (no)! Although my head was justifying the benefits of taking the job.
Tread Carefully!
When you follow what is best for you in your life, at first it can feel very unsettling to yourself and some others. A lot of fear can come up because you’re going outside your comfort zone.
Some people may not like it because you’re not being ‘you’. Although, following your Inner Wisdom is about connecting to the REAL YOU! That can mean letting go of some of the aspects about yourself that are not working for you anymore.
5 Steps on how to Trust your Inner Wisdom
1. PAUSE !
- When something is not clear and you’re unsure, it may not be a good time to make a decision – Pause
- If the other person wants a decision from you straight away and you’re not clear, let them know that ‘you will feel into it’ and you’ll let them know later
2. Ask for a clear sign
- Find quiet time regularly and ask what it is you need to know. It’s often in the stillness that the answers will come.
- Ask your Inner Wisdom: “I want to be clear, please make it clear to me?” You may get an answer straight away or the answer may come when you least expect it.
- Answers can come in a range of forms, such as a feeling, an inner voice, nature, something you read, or from someone else
A very clear sign came to me on a billboard once when I was unsure if I was to leave my old job. The sign read “Your Fired”
3. Connect with someone you trust that will ‘hold space’ for you
- Connect with someone that you can really trust. Someone you can be truly vulnerable with that will not judge you.
- You want your trusted one to ‘hold the space’. To be fully present with you. To offer advice only with your permission
- Where 2 or more people are gathered in truth, your Inner Wisdom will be there
Over 70% of us have ‘gut’ instincts about things
4. Make friends with your ‘gut’/sacral
- Most of us make decisions and respond from our heads. We don’t have a relationship with our gut instincts. Your gut is a great resource, your seat of vitality and creativity
- Connect and build a strong relationship to your gut. Your gut feeling is your belly area
- When something is not right for you, there will be no energy or inspiration in your gut. There will be like a flat feeling – no energy
- When you feel inspiration and spaciousness, and there’s a real YES “Ah-ha” in your gut, you’re onto something that could work for you
- When you move in a direction that is right for you, it can feel expansive, light and clear. Your whole body wants to move in the direction that you feel inspired about
- The gut feeling goes deeper than the highs and lows of emotion, fear and doubt
5. Ask your ‘gut’/sacral
- The gut is simple and will answer in sacral/guttural sounds such as “Ah-ha” (yes), “Uh-uh” (no). Ask yourself questions that elicit a yes or no answer with this sort of sacral/guttural sound. For example, “will I visit my Mum today?” Ah-ha (yes) “is this new job right for me?” Uh-uh (no)
- Find a friend that you can trust to practice the gut questioning that elicits Ah-ha, or Uh-uh Leave your mind out of the process
- You could also make a list of questions that you’d like to have some Inner Wisdom with. Record and play the questions to yourself so you can answer Ah-ha, or Uh-uh
- If there is no clear Ah-ha or Uh-uh answer, it could be that no action is required at that moment in time.
You’ll know what to do when you’re responding with 100% certainty “Ah-ha” or “Uh-uh”
