I recently found myself faced with several professionals who appeared to be unable to follow their own advice. Have you ever come across this? As I sat observing, it dawned on me, what advice am I giving that I am not following? My advice for others, that has all along been for me, listen. Take time to listen to the inner voice. Take time to unplug from the screen time, take time for reflection. I support my clients to listen to the voice within. The voice that may seem small and quiet, the voice that grows stronger when given attention. The voice that becomes a brick up side the head when being ignored. What can you do to support time for yourself, to eliminate the outside chatter so that you can plug into what your inner voice is calling you to attend to? I can already hear the excuse, "I don't have time!" The reality is, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. Maybe you choose to start taking the bus, so that you can have some unplugged, down time. Maybe you go to bed early, so that you can wake up and allow yourself a few moments. I hold the vision with you that time presents itself and you feel the deep connection to the voice that is calling out for your attention. And, even if specific time does not happen, listen to how the voice speaks to you at other times, like when you have advice for someone else, advice that could in fact be, for you.
