We re-write the rules when we choose our inner knowing over what is expected of us.
No.6 Thing I’m Remembering Not to Forget
What if the clearest guidance we’ll ever receive doesn’t come from the outside world… but from the gentle voice within?
It’s so easy to get caught up in the shoulds… the expectations, the timelines, the paths that others have deemed “right.” But what happens when we pause… listen inward… and choose to follow our own rhythm instead?
This is one of the biggest lessons that keeps circling back to me. A reminder I return to again and again. Because it’s not always easy to choose what feels good over what’s familiar or expected. Perhaps it doesn’t even feel that good at all.
I’ve had to write myself permission slips more times than I can count… to honour what I desire, to prioritize my energy, to choose my needs over obligation… even when it feels uncomfortable or misunderstood.
There’s been a lifelong tug-of-war between the comfort of others and the call of my own truth. And I’m learning that choosing myself isn’t selfish, it’s sacred.
I’m remembering that our inner-knowing doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it hums quietly beneath the noise, waiting to be heard. And when we honour it… even softly… we begin to re-write the rules.
Choosing ourselves… our truth, our timing, our intuition… is a radical act.
It’s where possibility begins.
It’s how new ways are born.
Remember: you don’t need to be perfectly certain to trust yourself.
You only need to be willing to listen.
That’s where the magic lives.
