DAY 14: listening to our bodies
Part one of our writing today: make that list of thoughts, ideas, beliefs, that are a detriment to us today. You might want to go back through your daily writing and look for those thought patterns that cause you to push past your gut checks in ways that are ultimately harmful to you.
Part two of our writing is to consider what our deep brain-and-body system is saying to us. Where do I feel that gut-check? Maybe I’ve trained myself to ignore it, but now I want to really pay attention. Where does it sit in my body: my stomach, my chest, my neck, my legs, my hands? Your writing so far should provide some help!
Part three: create a mantra for yourself about your bodily wisdom. It might be as simple as “I will listen to my body/emotions/intuition.” Write your mantra out 10 times as you finish your writing practice today.
