Dear Readers,
If you were born without significant physical challenges, you opened your eyes soon after birth. Who taught you to do that?
As time passed, you lifted your head, rolled over, and—depending on your unique rhythm—sat up, stood, and walked. Who taught you to do all that? You did. You taught yourself. You did it all. Remember those moments of triumph, those small victories that shaped your early years. They were all you're doing, a testament to your resilience and determination.
You likely felt unstoppable at that stage of life, ready to conquer anything. Whether it was holding the spoon in your mouth (or at least trying!) or learning to feed yourself, you observed others and decided what was worth exploring. You chose based on your own curiosity and interests. What caught your attention, you pursued; what didn't, you set aside.
Perhaps this is why we all grow at different rates—our interests shape our focus. As children, we naturally followed our curiosity. But where are you now with that? Do you still pursue your interests, look around to see what others are doing, and decide to follow their lead instead?
Let's call this inner guide intuition. Our body and mind intuitively listen to the soul when we're very young. The universal flow, a term that describes the interconnectedness of all things and the natural order of the universe, moves through every cell, regardless of imperfections or challenges. The soul doesn't judge—it simply flows, keeping us alive, curious, and engaged with life.
But what about now? Is the playful, curious child within you still alive? Do you still embrace life with innocence and love? Rekindle that curiosity, let it fuel your passion and drive. There's a whole world out there waiting to be explored, and you have the power to dive in headfirst, just like you did in your early years.
Maybe it's time to take a closer look. Are you following your inner spark as you did when you proudly wrote your name for the first time? Or have you, like many of us, fallen into patterns stifling your dreams? These patterns could be anything from staying in a job you don't enjoy, to neglecting your hobbies and passions, or even avoiding personal relationships that could bring joy and growth.
The good news is that change is possible. I recently worked with a client to break down a seemingly overwhelming goal into small, manageable steps. We considered the risks and embraced a cautious but determined approach. Watching her attitude shift as she realized she could move forward.
Now, I invite you to do the same. Think of your next step as if you were a newborn again, opening your eyes and attempting to lift your head for the first time. Break it down into the most straightforward action, take that step, and keep going—without constantly questioning if it's possible.
What's your very first step toward reclaiming your playful, intuitive self?
Let's begin.
In next week’s newsletter, I’ll share insights and tips from readers who’ve taken their first steps. Stay tuned!
