This letter can be a kind of continuation of this previous one.
Before taking my “big decision” last summer (if you’ve been here for a while, you know what I’m talking about), I was nearly touching the big dream. My big dream, actually because we don’t have all the same desires.
And, how many times did you hear somebody who’s having it all but not being happy?
It was not exactly my case, since I was happy, grateful, and living an amazing life… but there was some incoherence inside that didn’t let me be at my fullest. So this concept of having it all and not being happy, which is very common in our society, can work to understand how being in a high-valued-expected position (aka living very very well) sometimes doesn’t mean it’s all good.
And that happens when the inside, it’s not well. And you’re not listening properly and taking this information in consideration (our heart and intuition speaking).
That’s why I’m always insisting in sessions that we don’t need to be checking out all the time and waiting for the next thing to come or be fixed. We need to go inward and take care of what is in there, NOW.
In my case, inside, there were some misalignments… And since I’m very concerned about living from my TRUTH, I walked away from the things that were causing that misalignment. But it was not an easy thing, not something I was able to do in a second without hesitation. It took time.
But when I got the enough strenght and conviction, knowing that the way was choosing the hard way, I moved away from the life I had built. I remember how complicated and sad it looked and was but all my focus and attention was into bringing myself back to the purest and highest authenticity and that was only possible being honest and true to myself.
And this leads me to,
take decisions only from my heart and intuition, not from the mind.
from love, instead of fear…
and it made me a very different person, more myself, in all aspects of my life.
Since then, more than ever, I’m choosing every day to have very present what’s authentic for me in every aspect of my life so I can move from there, taking wise and aligned steps all along the way. From the more simple decisions to the more deep ones and profounds.
And it leads me to take really good care of all the aspects that are important in my life today and according to my values. How does it look like? Let’s see it more specifically.
If you are on the paid version of Soul Diaries, you can keep reading and know more about my own process of taking hard decisions, choosing myself and alignment to live from my truth, also some examples of the kind of daily day adjustments I do to live from myself and not others or external expectations and validation and some more guidance for you.
