What is your body telling you?

What Is Your Body Telling You?

Here’s how to use your body to keep an eye out for these 4 signs of in-authenticity.

What’s my voice doing? When we’re not being ourselves, we tend to use a high voice. We’re not projecting from our belly and chances are everything below the neck is starved of breath. Are you talking super fast? Another sign of discomfort.
What’s my body doing? Am I clenching my butt, my hands or my jaw? Our bodies are billions of cells firing at once and those cells can’t be fooled. Tension in your being is picked up instantly by your body. Do a body scan.
Am I breathing? Shallow breathing in the chest area and vs the belly will not only change your voice, it’s also a signal of fear, nervousness and playing the game of in-authenticity.
Am I in the present moment or am I being hyper-vigilant? When we’re feeling safe and authentically in the moment, we relax and respond naturally to what’s showing up. When we’re not, we’re hyper-vigilant watching others for signs that we’re accepted and okay.
When we’re in the present moment, our reactions are authentic, our personalities are real and we feel safe to shine our gifts onto the world.

I find it helpful to be aware of these physical signs as indicators of how authentically I'm being.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.
I pay my respects to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
