Do this to check your alignment…

I’m so curious if my last post sparked any thoughts for you around saying yes when you really wanted to say no. Could you relate to that?

Having some boundaries around my time and learning how to notice HOW I was really feeling about saying yes to something was a turning point for me. It allowed me to no longer feel that heaviness and resentment that shows up when I’m pushing through or doing something I didn’t want to do.

For you, it might show up differently.

How does it feel to you when someone steps over a boundary?

Can you picture a situation where your needs were set aside and instead you honored someone else’s needs? Or a time when you felt overly responsible for someone else’s experience?

Sometimes this happens and we make the CHOICE to tend to another person's needs first, but what happens when it wasn’t so much a choice, but more of a common occurrence? Something that is expected or done out of habit?

What sensations can you notice or relate to that? Does it feel like your shoulders are being pressed down or that you have a lump in your throat that is squelching your voice? Perhaps a tightening in your gut….

When you start to notice how your body feels in response to things happening in your life, you can start to see where things are not feeling aligned and what needs to shift.

I’d love to support you in making those shifts and a great place to start is to schedule a free Connect call to see if we’re a good fit to work together.
