As a society, we often operate at warp speed, multitask and use devices like an iPhone or iPad constantly. Quiet or stillness may be foreign concepts. Mindfulness? What’s that? Inner guide….say what? Actually, it’s by quieting the mind and sitting in stillness that you can bring true mindfulness to your life. By doing that, you find your inner guide – and what a wonder that discovery can be!
Whether you meditate or not, drawing your thoughts inward and learning to be mindful can help you find your inner self. I call it my inner guide. By meditating and being mindful, I found my inner guide this year. What’s so important about your inner guide? It’s your inner compass or intuition. By tuning in, you can find yourself again, if you lost sight of who you are at your core. It also helps you align with what’s true for you in your life – values, decisions and more.
For me, my inner guide is my intuition. It may or may not be that for you. By pulling inward on a regular basis, I tune into my intuition. I’m able to not only be mindful, but I can trust what my inner guide/intuition is telling me or guiding me to do. It’s like trusting your gut on any decision – life decisions, decisions about who and what to let go, and decisions about what to pursue and what risks or leaps to take. It’s so fundamental to how I live my life and it’s enabled me to better trust my gut and live more authentically.
By trusting my inner guide or intuition, I was able to find my larger life purpose of becoming a life, empowerment and transformation coach for strong women. This was a leap and a risk and something I’m meant to do in my life. As I move forward and lay the groundwork to step more fully into my calling, I continue to meditate and tap into my intuition to ensure I’m moving forward in ways true to me and to find the strength and stamina necessary to push through challenges and roadblocks along the way.
This is how I live today – mindful and aligned with my inner guide. You can, too, and I can help. Early next year, I’m launching a program about learning to find your inner guide and how to trust your intuition. Ask me about it! Or send me an email to bczappa@comcast.net and get on my list for updates about the program.
