Leading with my heart

My chiropractor recently told me to lead with my heart. I’ve been moving through some physical pains that have been exasperated from activities and injuries as well as spending the last few months trying to get comfortable in a work-from-home space that is not exactly ergonomic. I have been dragging my feet about setting up my space. There is a part of me that believes this is “temporary”, and this part doesn’t want me to settle into or accept the virtual world as the new way of doing things. I’ve acknowledged this part, listened to its concerns and showed it loads of compassion. There’s another part that showed up and said girl you deserve to have nice things!! You don’t have to be uncomfortable, you don’t have to suffer, you don’t have to be scrappy. What you can do is show up for yourself, sit in a comfortable seat, create a sacred space for your work where you are RIGHT NOW. Don’t wait for something else to happen, or for someone else to tell you it’s going to be ok. Just do the loving thing for yourself right now, and that will help you show up-leading from your heart- with others.
