knowing

Knowing is defined as being done in full awareness or consciousness. The state of being aware or informed. Intentional. Sureness.

When I think about knowing, I think of my gut first. A knowing in my body, in my chest, in my mind - it’s a feeling. An internal instinct. A self-trust.

I view my knowing as a place to make decisions - as I am thinking about this it’s almost like a mentor, something guiding me towards my most honest self. Helping me stay connected to myself, fulfilled with myself.

Reflections

• I use my foundation to help me stay grounded in my knowing.

• Being self-aware helps me stay in relationship with my knowing

• Finding and listening to my knowing requires patience.

• If I am quiet enough, I believe I hold every single answer.
