Listen to Your Body Talk: Reconnecting with Your Inner Wisdom - Feel Good Again Series #4

Ever notice how your body seems to know things before your mind catches up? That persistent fatigue, the tension headaches, or the knot in your stomach when facing certain decisions – these aren't random occurrences. They're your body's language, its way of communicating profound truths you might be avoiding.

In this deeply personal episode of the Feel Good Again series, we dive into the concept that your body remembers everything – every time you said yes when you meant no, every truth you swallowed to keep the peace, every moment you pushed down your authentic feelings. These small betrayals accumulate not just emotionally but physically, manifesting as chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and disconnection from joy.

The journey back to feeling good doesn't require dramatic external changes. It starts with simple practices: setting alarms for body check-ins throughout your day, placing your hand on your heart and asking "what do I need?", and learning to distinguish between what feels heavy versus light in your decision-making. By creating micro-moments of stillness and reconnection, you give yourself the chance to hear those intuitive whispers – the quiet, kind, often surprising first responses that precede analytical thinking.

I share my own recent experience of recognizing when I was no longer in integrity with myself professionally, and how that disconnect manifested physically long before I acknowledged it consciously. This isn't about making impulsive life changes, but rather about honoring the wisdom your body has been trying to communicate all along.

Journal Prompt:

What is one way your body might be asking you to slow down, listen, or come back to your truth?

Action Step:

Set a 2-minute timer today. Place your hand on your heart or belly and ask:

“What do I need right now?”

And then just listen — without judgment, without fixing. Just presence.

Welcome back to the Pure Possibilities podcast. We are continuing on with the series Feel Good Again and this week we're going to talk about your body remembers and listening to the signals. I know I made another shift this week and it actually feels like the perfect example of what we're talking about today, because originally the episode was going to be about gently shifting your emotional frequency, and we will absolutely get to that. But as I was mapping it out, something didn't feel quite right in my body and that is something I've absolutely learned not to ignore. And that is something I've absolutely learned not to ignore. So this week I'm following that nudge pivoting and we're diving in to something I believe is deeply foundational to this whole journey of feeling good again, and that is this your body remembers. We need to listen to our body talk. That's a phrase that came up for me I don't remember when, but a while back. It was listen to your body talk. Listen to your body talk.

Speaker 1: 2:13

Your body doesn't lie. It doesn't lie, it knows the truth and is always keeping score. So it remembers that moment when you said yes and you meant no. It holds the weight of the truths. You silence inside to keep the peace. It absorbs all of the tension, pretending everything is fine, when you are literally falling apart inside. And over time those little betrayals add up, not just emotionally but physically in your body Fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, illness, chronic tension, disconnection all of it builds and builds and you might start feeling like you've truly, truly lost touch with yourself and connection to yourself and that feeling good and joy are completely out of reach. And it's not because something is wrong with you. It's because your body is holding the impact of everything that you have ignored and pushed aside and pushed down. You are literally pushing it down into your body and it stays there and it keeps you feeling tight and constricted. Your body is talking to you and it is calling for you.

Speaker 1: 3:47

There are signs. There are signs to pay attention to. This is what it looks like when your body is asking you to reconnect and honor how it's actually feeling. You might feel a little bit off and you can't explain why. You wake up and you are already tired. You don't feel rested. You have a hard time making decisions because you're afraid that you might choose wrong. You numb out and avoid with food, alcohol, scrolling, keeping yourself busy all the time. You might feel disconnected from joy and pleasure and even your own needs, the I don't knows come in strong. And, as we discussed last week, you know like when you ask yourself, you know, you know deep down, and then it turns into shaming yourself because you know and you're betraying and abandoning yourself. So does any of this sound familiar? These are signs that your body doesn't feel safe being fully you and here's the thing you don't feel good because you're not being the version of you that feels good. I mean, I'm not saying go out and look for problems, but I know personally that I've even been managing my way through this recently. I'm like what is going on and I reconnect and I go deep within and I dance or I sing. Singing is really helpful because it keeps me from spiraling in my mind about things and it can refocus me back on me. So this is still really fresh for me because it didn't happen too long ago and I know I briefly touched on it last week and I think I've touched on it a few different episodes.

Speaker 1: 5:41

But that moment when I realized I was no longer in integrity with myself, with my job, was, as I've mentioned. I stayed in it for a long time and it was stable. I was respected, people admired it, but deep down, I wasn't in alignment anymore and I I told myself, how can I stay here with one foot in and one foot out and not fully go into what actually fills me up and lights my soul, and that is coaching and helping people transform their lives and actually living the life that they want to live? And I wasn't living the life that I wanted to live, yet I was talking and coaching around living the life that you want to live. So completely out of integrity with myself, and I didn't want to get to the end of my life and ask myself what if I felt it in my body? What if I felt it in my body? And I, for a long time, I focused on the things that I loved, because you can do that, you can navigate your way through things by focusing on the things that you do enjoy about something.

Speaker 1: 7:02

But when we're looking outside of ourselves for things to change, they're not gonna. And so whenever you find yourself looking outside of yourself for something to change outside of you to make you feel better, that is your clue to tune into yourself and say, okay, what is it within me? What do I need to do? Because I cannot depend on anything outside of me to change in order to make me feel better. You just can't and you feel like tightness in your chest, emotional burnout, shifting your focus. You know, like I said, I was shifting it to okay. What do I love about this? What's going to help me make it through my days? And so eventually I had to get radically honest with myself and make that move. And again, I'm not saying go out and quit your job or blow up your life or anything like that. What I'm saying is listen to your body, talk, listen to those whispers, because you may end up sacrificing years of your life for a version of success that's not even yours and living a life that just truly doesn't feel good to you.

Speaker 1: 8:23

We often look outside of ourselves for comfort, whether it's through food or alcohol or numbing out through social media and scrolling and all of those things. And it's not about going from that to total bliss overnight. It's about small, consistent moments of reconnecting back to yourself and honestly getting to know yourself again, in case you're feeling that disconnect. So here's a few ways that you can start to do that Pause and notice and check in with yourself once a day, multiple times a day. Way back when I started on my journey, one of the things I started doing was setting alarms every hour, and that was to do like an energetic check-in. And I would say in the multiple courses and certifications I've gotten, that is something that continually comes up over and over again because it's an effective method, and so I personally added what if? Questions to my alarms, so those allow me the opportunity to pause and notice how I'm feeling, reflect for just a moment. You can do it every hour, you could do it every three hours, you could do it a few times a day, but the point is to connect to yourself so that you take a moment, center and ground yourself, notice how you're feeling, and then it allows you to stay more connected, consistently, not just when things are off. You're staying connected so that when things do go a little bit awry in your day, it's easier for you to come back to yourself. What am I feeling? What do I need in this moment? Another thing you can do is to put your hand on your heart and on your belly and literally touch your body and say I'm here with you. What do you need in this moment?

Speaker 1: 10:36

You can track when something feels really heavy, or when it feels light not right or wrong, but light and heavy or off and on, like again, you know, you know whether you want to admit it to yourself or not. You know when you have that, oh my gosh, this is amazing, hell yes. Or that constricting and tight, oh, I don't want to do that. Or no, I can't believe. They asked me to do like. You know, and are you being honest with yourself about those feelings that your body is communicating with you? Slow down, create micro moments of stillness so your body can catch up with you.

Speaker 1: 11:20

Feeling good is not something that you force. You don't pretend. You allow it and it's something that you remember and you allow it and it's something that you remember. Your body is a place you come back to and listen to your body, talk, and you can talk to your body. Hey, body, Thank you. What do you need from me right now? Okay, no-transcript, and an action step would be to set a two-minute timer today, place your hand on your heart or on your belly and ask what do I need right now? And then just listen without judgment, without fixing anything. Then step out of that moment, because it's the intuition which is the first thing that comes up and again, quiet, kind, calm, soft, loving, usually surprising is the first response that you want to listen to, not when you start dissecting it and going down and and pulling it all apart.

Speaker 1: 12:56

Okay, so we are going to pull a card from the magic of what if? Card deck. Okay, so I know that I'm getting pretty brutally honest in these episodes, but it's so important to me that you care about yourself and prioritize yourself and how you feel, and that is what I am here to help you with is to help you get through all of the mess and the yuck and be honest with yourself about the life that you want to live and how you actually feel and the things that you can do to make small shifts. We're not talking about big overhauls. We're talking small shifts and consciousness and being aware. So it feels good. It feels good to feel good, and so when you can Ooh, I just had a card fall out onto the floor I guess that's going to be the card for the day.

Speaker 1: 14:06

What if I'm worthy of all the happiness, joy and success that I desire? I feel like that was last week's card. Oh, nope, that was in the podcasting community, that was in the private community, which, if you are not a member of, I would invite you to join. There's a link in the show description and I go in there, live every week and do a Q&A. I was just in there a few minutes ago and we had a beautiful conversation and there's just a couple of questions that you need to answer in order to become a member of our community. And again, I'm in there, live every week doing coaching, answering questions, talking about the episodes. Going a little bit deeper it's completely free. So come on in and join us. It's a lot of fun. Little bit deeper, it's completely free. So come on in and join us. It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1: 15:00

What if I am worthy of all the happiness, joy and success that I desire? You are. You are my friend, we all are. You're not broken. There's nothing wrong with you. You've just been outside of yourself and disconnected for a long time and every time you choose to come back to your body, even for a moment, you're coming back to you. So next week we are going to explore how to gently shift your emotional frequency, now that we've started rebuilding this connection. Until then, trust the whispers, listen to your body, talk. They know the way home. They know the way to return you back to yourself. Have a beautiful, beautiful day and an amazing week. Much love.
