Becoming Aware

I am tired, I have a head cold and I have forgotten to tune into my own internal landscape.
How could I have let this happen? I just gave a workshop on getting out of the intellect and back into the body to hear our authentic selves!
I actually know exactly how this happened. In the excitement I have found to share with everyone else, this brilliant information, I forgot to apply it to myself!!
It is moments like these- in the stillness of the afternoon when I sit, connect and write, that I begin listening to my authenticity.
I have not been taking this time lately because I have been too busy seeing clients and preparing a workshop that I really wanted to go well.
No point in beating myself up- move forward Naomi. Choose to do things differently based on what you just learned about outcomes of your own life. Wow, it is just that simple.
Writing for me is about connecting and just being but at the same time still being able to express to the outer world what is going on internally.
What is this need to have everything done for everyone else before I connect with myself about?
Where does this originate from? but more importantly if I had that info would that solve anything? I think not!
Maybe I just need to be aware and simply breathe into this awareness.
I just got it- writing for me is about just that, AWARENESS!
Back to this moment, breathing, connecting and creating what exactly I want for MY life. Do I want to spend all my time being busy with other people or is this simply what I am creating in my life as a diversion from myself?
When I intellectually think about writing what comes up is 'frivolous', 'wasting time', 'unproductive', and not a good 'hobby'.
Right now feeling connected, I realize writing is about speaking my inner truths so these truths may become present in my awareness. With awareness I can begin to recognize the patterns in which my body is trying to speak to me.
I feel so strongly that I am on the right path to listening to my own body and allowing others the time and the space to listen to theirs.
I slightly diverted from that path the last few weeks by becoming caught up in listening only to others and my body is now letting me know. Thanks for this genius!
My time, my body, my mind and my spirit. No body's responsibility but my own.
I have cleverly created this cold to bring all this into my awareness. Now that I have created it, it is time to listen to that awareness so my body can stop sending that message!!
