Invite your wise self into the room
As humans—parents, students, creators, and professionals—we pride ourselves on getting things done. Yet the people who move through life with steadiness also draw from a deeper source—what I call the wise self, the core consciousness that helps you notice the bigger pattern beneath the noise.
What if your next turning point isn’t another hack, but a clearer relationship with that inner steady place—the part of you that’s connected and oriented to the highest good?
The shift from hurry to alignment
We’re trained to privilege speed and certainty. The shift is to act from alignment—letting your wise self inform your analysis so choices land cleanly and you avoid second-guessing or rework. Your soul senses are real capacities for perception and connection; when you engage them, timing and priorities often become clearer.
How it shows up day to day
• Pattern recognition you can trust. Those “this doesn’t add up” moments are signals. Treat them as data, not distractions.
• Cleaner conversations. When you’re grounded in your wise self, you ask better questions and hear what’s actually being said.
• Better use of energy. Alignment reduces thrash—fewer false starts and fewer decisions to revisit.
Three simple practices to try
Walk-and-talk debrief
Take a 10–15 minute walk with one live issue. State the situation out loud, then ask three times: “What’s the one next clean step?” Capture what lands.
Micro-journaling before a choice
Draw two short columns: “Pressure wants me to…” and “Wise self suggests I…”. Circle the line that feels steady rather than urgent. Commit to that action for 72 hours before revisiting.
One-minute attunement in conversations
Before you speak, pause. Notice your breath, your seat, the tone in the room. Ask, “What’s needed now?” Offer one clear question or decision.
