We write a post.

One person reads it and becomes protective of of person posting.

Another decides someone in the story is an idiot.

Another thinks they’re blaming someone.

Another completely understands what the person was actually exploring.

And sometimes I’m sitting there thinking:

Did we read the same post I wrote? 😂

But actually… we didn’t.

We read the same WORDS.

We experienced them through completely different lenses.

👉Our history.
👉Our beliefs.
👉Our relationships.
👉Our wounds.
👉Our values.
👉Our worldview.

We fill in the gaps with 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 that sometimes isn’t even there.

And I LOVE noticing this.

Because it’s such a simple demonstration of something

We don’t just respond to what actually happened.
We respond to what we made it MEAN.

Same words.

Completely different realities.

The interesting question isn’t:

What did they mean?

But instead:

What did a person hear… and what does THAT reveal about the self 🔥

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 “𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐞” 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝.

This week I met a guy on a date.

Great on paper.

Direct. Expressive. Attentive. Clever.

His voice felt incredibly somatic to me and we could actually TALK.

I was interested.

Then we met.
Good looking guy.

We kissed.
My body went…

Nope. 😂

I knew immediately I wasn’t going to be going ahead

So I told him I didn’t think we were a match even though we got on really well

Then MY loop started…

Am I being completely honest?

Should I tell him WHY?

Am I being “nice” rather than direct? Which is manipulation…..

Because the truth was, I could tell him exactly what I didn’t like about the kiss. 🤣

But it’s not like the poor guy can grow a bigger mouth and tongue now, can he?! It was little like a child’s mouth 😂

And I caught the difference.

I don’t need to hide my truth to be nice.
And I don’t need to make someone else wrong to be honest.

I didn’t feel the physical chemistry I need.

It’s True. It’s direct and it’s kind.

It’s also honouring what my body told me. My head told me that’s ridiculous as he ticked all the boxes.

Being honest with yourself and trusting this as being your own truth is powerful 🔥

Do you recognise where this happens in your own life?

Maybe the relationship looks perfect on paper.

Maybe the business opportunity makes complete sense.

Maybe everyone around you thinks you’d be mad to say no.

Yet something in you already knows.

Do you trust it… or talk yourself out of it?

This is freedom
Freedom of choice

We can say:
Release identification with your past self.
Remain in present awareness.
Observe without attachment.
Recognise that consciousness is continually arising…

Sounds clever but confusing the heck out of people

Or simpler translation….

If a cut has healed, why would you keep picking the scab to check whether it’s healed?

Or
I picked my scab yesterday.
I’m not picking my scab today.
So why the hell am I still analysing the scab? 😂

It happened.

Maybe I learnt something from it.

But I’m not doing it NOW.

Yet we can spend days, months or even years analysing something our present self isn’t even doing anymore.

Was it right?
Was it wrong?
Why did I do it?
What does it mean about me?

Maybe sometimes there’s nothing left to heal.

It happened.
It’s done.
Today is another day.

Deep doesn’t always have to mean complicated.

Sometimes it’s flipping obvious.
Life is simpler than we realise

A great coach gives you the training wheels without making you afraid to take them off.

I don’t want my clients dependent on me for answers.
I want them to learn how to find their own.

A coach helps develop the very capacity that eventually allows you to become self-led.

That’s why you want soul aligned clients who are ready

When I teach my Six Step Process of Mindbody Mapping:

Find → Feel → Face → Flip → Follow Through → Freedom

I see the framework as training wheels.

Initially, you might need the reference points.

What framework do I use?
What am I seeing?
What do I do next?

But eventually something changes.

You stop asking:
What would my coach say?

And start saying:
I know
And you then take ACTION

That’s the point.

I teach frameworks so eventually you don’t need the framework. 😂

Not because you stop learning.

Because you’ve learned to trust yourself and your decisions.

That’s what I’m experiencing with my own coach right now.

There are very few training wheels but I knew this already.

Sometimes life itself becomes the coaching versus running around like a headless chook looking for the “right” way.

Instead of constantly asking:

What should I do?

I’m learning at an even deeper level:

I already know. Trust that.

For me, THAT is self-led. 🔥

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐩 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐧.

Last week I made a clear, firm decision.

I said no to something that wasn’t working for me anymore.

Not because the other person was “wrong”.

The problem?

I understand people TOO frigging well.

I see their fear.
Their childhood.
Their nervous system.
Their perspective.

Then the loop started…..

Am I too demanding?
Am I judging?
Am I too much?
Is this a mirror?

I made a decision I would have previously spent months talking myself out of.

I knew it was a no.
My body signal and heart told me so

I stopped trying to understand and just decided.

I don’t need to condemn them or myself.

That felt so good. 🔥

𝐓𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥?

The one who looks after everyone

👉Maybe you don’t want to be seen as “selfish” like your younger self, or like one of your parents or siblings

👉The over giver

👉Tired of sacrificing and being the martyr?

👉Your body is exhausted

👉You’re fed up

👉It’s not fear

You’re secretly angry?
More than angry?

Inside you’re saying:
👉When is it my chance
👉It’s not my stuff to carry
👉Who looks after me
👉 I’m also important

Secret…..🤫

You are allowed to let that s**t out 🔥

Out of the body….

No journaling blah blah - nah, you need to FEEL the energy MOVE

Suggestions:
🔥Grab a pillow and let rip and open up the throat chakra

🔥Shake your body

🔥Make weird noises

🔥Run it out

🔥Sing it out

🔥Dance it out

Let the energy out
You are allowed
