“When you come to the end of yourself, that’s when it starts to get interesting” ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
There are times when you are blazing a new path, that you don’t know what to do. You want to move forward, but you don’t know what the next step is. That’s when things start to get interesting – because you have to break through the story you’re telling yourself, break down old belief systems, and trust in a power larger than yourself.
You have an inner knowing and tapping into it is helpful. It will guide you places you can’t get to on your own by helping you determine the ‘next right thing’. Learning how to tap into it is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
Inner knowing is different from the story you are telling yourself. You can’t think your way into knowing what to do. It is a feeling deep inside of you and it feels like resonance.
This is where you start… paying attention to what feels right, what feels good, and what feels like it fits or belongs with you.
You will learn truth by paying attention to how it feels when it lands on you. Truth always resonates… you know it when you hear it.
The guidance follows suit. It tells you what is right for you because it feels right, it feels like truth.
Your inner guidance is not always easy to tap into, the more attached you are to what is supposed to be right, the stronger your story is.
Moving beyond your story is hard. We attach ourselves to what “should be” because of our beliefs, opinions, teachings, and past experience.
And while experience is the best teacher, it is not always the best guidance.
So when you don’t know what to do, you need to get silent. Listen to your truth, feel the resonance, and trust that something that is much larger than you is guiding you to places you could have never found on your own.
Then you simply do the next right thing.
