When You Know, You Know
There were some significant aha moments in the calls last week. Like a thread was handed to me on Monday, and I pulled it through the week.
Feels like I should pull it into this one, too.
It was around knowing.
Like when you know you know something even if you can't explain why, but you do, and now you've got a responsibility to own what you know.
Call it intuition (aka the voice of your highest soul self), instinct, claircognizance, your gut, or your angels delivering insights and signs. Whatever it is, it's higher consciousness guiding you.
The beauty and the beast of knowing something is that it's yours to do (or not do) something with, and live with the result.
If you know you need to end a pattern, you need to end a pattern (I'm looking at you, Oreos).
If you know something is a bad idea even though everyone else thinks it's a good one, you need to own and stand behind it.
If you know something is on you to call out in a relationship and you've got butterflies about it, it's yours to call out.
You don't get to know, do nothing, and keep complaining about it. (I mean, you could totally know and do nothing and keep complaining. But that's not a great look on you.)
You become part of the problem when you don't follow your inner knowing and move in alignment with it.
People are waiting for you to own what you know you need to do.
This is authenticity.
They may not know that they want you to bring something uncomfortable to the table (but their soul does), and you end up holding all the resentment, bitterness, and frustration about whatever it is that you know something about when you don't say or do something about it. Which jacks your frequency and has you continue to attract more of this same thing, until you do something about what you already knew.
We are each other's mirrors.
When we throw a pretty silk scarf over the part of us that's reacting and responding to something in them or our dynamic with them, we limit both ourselves and that person from growth and evolution.
Someone has to interrupt things if they're going to change. It's often the women in my rooms.
The feeling of "oh, shit, this is on me" feels nerve-wracking at first, but the deeper wisdom of what this adjustment will bring to our authenticity is worth owning what we know.
It stays the same if we don't, and that's a heavier burden to carry.
Just being aware of something changes nothing.
Awareness without action leaves things as they are.
You didn't come here to settle all over the place, in your career, friendships, health, marriage, partnership, dreams.
And if you know this and you're taking no action to support it, then you'll be in the same dynamics and situations for longer.
What are you doing about what you know?
Are you quick to own it and make moves?
Or are you letting it "Fester, fester, fester. Rot, rot, rot." (name that movie!)?
The fact that it's yours should feel empowering. You're the one with the power. You're not waiting for someone to do it for you. You do it for yourself and for the other, even if it's as significant as ending a relationship.
This kind of authentic, embodied living is gorgeous. And it's what happens when you become a Soul Forward Woman.
