Choice + consent = safety, space & trust

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. We move forward when we feel safe in our bodies and minds. We rest when we feel safe in our bodies and minds. We play and are creative when we feel safe in our bodies and minds.

And when we feel stuck it’s often because parts of us don’t feel safe in our bodies or minds to move forward. And some of that comes from parts who don’t feel like they have choice or consent. There is absolutely no shame here - it makes sense that our bodies want to protect us. Sometimes it’s relearning to trust ourselves. 💛

Finding places where you currently have choice and consent can create awareness and help take small steps forward.

It can be as simple as:
I choose what I have for lunch. I choose to leave the dishes in the sink to clean later. I say yes to going for a walk. I say no to putting that bowl on this table. Even saying those things out loud as you do them creates empowerment and self trust. Try it and see how it feels.😊💪🏼

Where are areas in your life you have choice? Where are areas in your life you get to say yes or no to?
