Let your heart speak through your hands

So often our hearts don't get a chance to be heard over the loud voices in our heads.

For me, my journal is my regular everyday ritual where this magic gets to happen.

Journalling is about connecting with your soul. About being totally, mindfully present with yourself in the now.

And I feel called today to tell you that this is another day of potential journalling for you lovely.

I know you've written in a journal before. I know you've started and stopped, and started and stopped again.

I know this resistance, this illusion that inspiration must come before writing has held you up.

And I'm here today to say that you can change that. You can freaking rock that journal. Everyday.

Here's my confession...

I stopped writing in my journal these past few days. It just didn't happen, and today almost didn't either, as lots of excuses and a general malaise trundled in.

Now it's late in the day and I'm tired, but I can't let resistance beat me another day. I need to journal.

I need that communion with soul and spirit that happens so easily when I show up to my journal.

And you do too.

You need that chance to get it out, sort it out, ask for help, ask for guidance, be.here.now.

So what did I do?

 I kept trying. I brought my attention back to my journal again and again. I let myself feel bad that I hadn't written - I welcomed those feelings with love. Then I got my journal out and sat down.

So here's my advice for you....

- just get that journal out

- just leave it on the kitchen table

- just open it to the right page

- just write one word

- just keep going

- just do it again tomorrow

When we take these little steps by themselves we take the size out of the monster. We move past that resistance. 

We give our hearts a chance to speak to our hands without our heads getting in the way.

Best of luck beautiful xx
