When That Inner Pull “Makes No Sense”

My husband was due to get out of the military one week after my due date, and though he was stationed in Virginia, the plan was to stay where our place was, in upstate New York. When he got out, we would depend on my salary to support us while he figured out what he wanted to do.

Yet, something was telling me to uproot and move south, ASAP.

Though I’d spent months fighting that pull, that calm, centered voice kept pulling me towards another path, away from what was “logical” and “made sense.”

Finally, I succumbed. I decided to just DO IT: leave my (safe) job, move south to where my husband was stationed, and figure it out from there.

Talk about SCARY!

“How can I do this?” The voice in my head chattered. “There’s a BABY on the way, and he’s getting out of the military within months! My job is supposed to support us!”

And yet, it persisted. The two internal voices battled it out for awhile!

Finally, I wrote my husband a letter (because he was out to sea, and it was in the mid-‘90s, before emails and cell phones), told him I was going to look for an apartment, and would be there when he returned.

That’s what I did.

One of the scariest things was going in to give my notice at my job!

Yet, the unexpected happened: They told me I couldn’t leave yet, and offered me a full-time consultancy for a year, allowing me to live in Virginia, where I was going. (Again, this was in the mid-‘90s, before most anyone was working from home.) The consultancy offered more money… and a lot more freedom!

It gave me a year for us to find our way… and we did! My husband got out, spent four months at home with our baby while I was working full time from home. He got a job in North Carolina (where we are today), we moved, and literally three weeks before the end of my consultancy contract, I had the option to choose between two amazing jobs.

The rest, as they say, is history. Life really took off from there.

This is only one of MANY times in my life I’ve been pushed to trust the pull of that quiet, centered, knowing inner voice to take the lead, even if the conflicting mind (ego) chatter screams, has temper tantrums, and tells me “it makes no sense.”

Time and time again, when I look back on something that “didn’t make sense” at the time, in retrospect, I could see exactly why it DID make sense in the bigger picture.

Have you had a pull to do something, change something, say, “YES!” to something… and yet your mind (ego) just chatters on about all of the reasons you CAN’T or SHOULDN’T do it?

This is happening more and more today… AND things are chattier than ever! Between emails, social media, and messages coming at us from all directions, all the time… we SAY we’ve learned how to listen to that knowing voice with full trust. Yet, the ego is tricky and does its best to override when something feels uncomfortable or “illogical.”

This happens to EVERYONE, regardless of whether they’re a professional spiritual/intuitive practitioner or a novice, how many classes they’ve taken, how many spiritual/consciousness practices they’ve learned, or how many books they’ve read. In fact, the more we KNOW… the trickier and more cunning that voice of the mind (ego) can get, which confuses us and often causes us to shut down and go into overwhelm.

However, I assure you we KNOW what to do to create the change we ultimately want (even if it’s deep down and barely conscious).

Often, when we feel stuck and overwhelmed, it’s because we’re not clearly listening – or trusting – that voice. Sometimes, we claim we can’t hear it, because that mind (ego) chatter is doing its best to drown it out. We’ll feel FAR more comfortable to let that happen, and to listen to the chatter telling us the “safer” (more comfortable) choice to make… even if it’s not the choice to make to create the bigger, most amazing picture we’d like to create for ourselves.

And yet, that “other voice” (whatever you want to consider it) will most often continue to get louder, through many different venues, until we can’t do anything BUT listen. (How many times have you thought, “I KNEW I should have done that…”)

I can help you fill in the blanks to optimize your conscious experience to limit the distracting chatter, and to ensure that you can hear and trust that KNOWING voice. Ready to flow forward with confidence and ease? It’s a lot more than meditation or simple energy work. It’s a powerful process that will help you stay clear and focused!

I can guide you in filling in the blanks to confidently embrace that knowing voice and create the change that’s pulling at you. Let’s connect and flow forward together! Set up a free consult with me; let’s get this conversation going!
