Have you ever felt like you're living someone else's life? Perhaps you've prioritized the needs of others over your own,leaving your inner voice muffled and unheard. It's time to reconnect with your true self and rediscover what's truly important to you.


What is your inner voice?

Your inner voice is your intuition, your gut feeling, your subconscious mind. It's that quiet whisper that guides you towards what feels right. It's a powerful tool that can help you make decisions aligned with your values and desires.


Why do we often ignore our inner voice?

  • Societal expectations: We may feel pressure to conform to societal norms and expectations, leading us to ignore our own desires.

  • Fear of failure: Fear can prevent us from listening to our inner voice, as it may suggest taking risks or stepping out of our comfort zone.

  • Lack of self-awareness: If we're not in tune with our own thoughts and feelings, it can be difficult to hear our inner voice.

  • Overwhelm: When we're overwhelmed with responsibilities and stress, it can be easy to tune out our inner voice.


Here are some practical tips to help you rediscover your inner voice:

  1. Create a quiet space: Find a peaceful place where you can be undisturbed.

  2. Practice mindfulness: Focus on your breath and be present in the moment.

  3. Journaling: Write down your thoughts and feelings to gain insights into your inner self.

  4. Spend time in nature: Surrounding yourself with nature can help you connect with your inner voice.

  5. Seek guidance: Consider working with a therapist or coach to explore your inner self or find a community which inspire you to listen to your inner voice.


Personal Reflection:

As I'm preparing to move to France, I've been reflecting on what truly matters to me. This process has helped me clarify my priorities and make decisions that align with my inner voice. I hope these tips will help you do the same.

In short, for me: I need to be surrounded by water to connect with myself. Yoga helps me silence the noise in my head and gives me a clearer view of my inner voice. Writing, whether in posts or just in my notes, helps me reflect on my thoughts.


Remember: Rediscovering your inner voice is a journey, not a destination. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress along the way.
