When the Soul Protests, Listen!

Can you feel when your body, mind or soul protest the track you’re on?

It’s so important to listen to your intuition’s tap on the shoulder before you get hit by a two-by-four (a huge piece of wood for those not familiar with that expression).

I’m so glad I did last week.

I woke up feeling blah, likely because my whole day was planned around the computer again: tech support, webinars, zoom calls, teaching, marketing for this week’s print sale and other tech research & learning.

My soul was protesting, but I had so much work to do. 

I didn’t listen at first, but the physical, mental and emotional discomfort were growing as I sat at my desk trying to get into my work.

I was reminded of when I almost burned out building my website because of all the pressure I put on myself.

Luckily, I’ve learned that the energy we put into projects is as important, if not more, than just getting it done.

Getting into vibrational alignment with your True Self is crucial for good results and your personal definition of success. 

I’m getting faster at responding to those taps on the shoulder. Literally.

When the sun came out after a heavy night’s rain, warming my right shoulder, I smiled.

It felt like God telling me “You can’t afford to skip a morning walk today. You’re going to be on the computer until 9pm, Sweetheart. GET OUT!” Yes, that last part sounded very loud!

So I did. I took 2 hours to walk the neighbourhood loop, twice as long as usual, but you’ll see why in the 5.5-minute video above.

My heart warmed at all my puppy encounters and rejoiced at giving the sweetest cat a good loving in between filming. Isn’t it precious how she backtracked to thank me before saying goodbye to go visit Terri and her golden retriever Charlie?

I came home in a state of playful bliss, just in time for my 1.5-hour tech support call and still got all my work done after that – much more efficiently & effectively.

I was reminded of the quote I have on my wall –

“When you are in vibrational harmony, your body produces whatever it needs to remain in perfect balance” – Abraham Hicks

So when your soul protests and calls you to love yourself and others through a different way of being or doing, listen. 

You won’t regret it! I didn’t.

I even got another fun video to share from the experience. Yay! I do love to share!
