Living Your Life From Soul - Get Out Of Your Head And Make Time For Yourself

​"Oh, hi, here's me just casually writing notes for my next blog while there happened to be a photographer"

Welcome, to my first Katie Eckersley Coaching blog post.

How are you today? No, I mean really, how are you? Exhausted? Frazzled? A bit fed up? Or having an ok day but that sense of unease hangs over you. It’s always there so it feels normal.  Feeling like something is going to go wrong at any minute.  I see you!  I spent most of my life like that until Intuitive Coaching found me.

If you’ve read my story you’ll know that migraines and anxiety had me under control for decades.  It was debilitating and miserable.  On the outside I looked ok, it was all stuck in my head.  Thoughts, emotions, criticisms.  I still have to work hard at not living in my head, as soon as I slip out of alignment there I am, brow furrowed, trying to plan and control.

What’s your sign for being out of alignment? Mood? Pain? Hyperactivity? I have a brilliant book called “Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay.  The book talks about ailments as dis-ease in the body as opposed to disease.  I love it. I love the power of words and spelling.  See, spelling even has the word spell in it! Magic!

So, would you like to know the big secret?

It’s very deep, very serious…

Here it is…

Are you sure you’re ready?

Ok, here it is:

DON’T DO ANYTHING.

Yep. Stop. 

Er, what?!

Let’s start at the beginning.  Are you a busy fool?  When we rush around in our over productive masculine energy trying to tick everything off our ever growing to do list we may feel like we’ve achieved something but does it nourish our soul?

No. It doesn't.

Sit down.  Have your palms facing up, ready to receive and close your eyes.  Place your feet on the floor to ground yourself and imagine your feet have roots growing deep into the earth.  Imagine you have a brilliant white light from your head connecting you to the stars and the universe beyond.  You can do this outside with bare feet on the grass for a supercharged effect.

Take three deep, cleansing breaths.  Now, I want you to picture your dream day.  How do you feel? Where are you? What are you wearing? Who are you with? 

When you come out of your visualisation can you take that feeling and bring it with you into today?

What is it that’s missing.  Put it out there to the universe. Be direct. When you vocalise what you want your brain will start finding ways to prove it right.  Similarly if you constantly think and speak about what you don’t have then again the universe finds its way of proving you right.  I had this recently where I was up to my eyes in parent life and growled to myself “I just want to be on my own with nothing to do”.  I kid you not, my car broke down that evening and I spent nearly 6 hours in the car on my own with nothing to do.  My phone battery died and where I normally would have a book with me this time I did not.  The universe directly answered my demand! A cold, dark night on a country lane was not what I’d wanted so always be specific!

So, how do we live our aligned life, making decisions from your soul? 

First up, judgement. Do what lights you up.  Not what lights other people up, not what you think you should be doing, not what you think other people think you should be doing. If you’re not sure what even lights you up anymore go back to the visualisation. You can also feel it in your body. Think of something that you know makes you feel good, you can feel it, its expansive, light. Whereas when you think of something you know you don’t like it feels constricting, heavy, a bit icky. Apply that to decision making and watch the daily miracles happen.

Have fun with it, play around.  You can pick something as a sign and ask the universe to show it to you when you’re on the right path. It might be a feather, a butterfly, anything you want.  Mine’s a robin. Look out for them and notice what you’re doing at the time.

If you want to spend some time journaling on your dream day vs your current reality you can do so in my Five Quick Journal Prompts To Make You Laugh.  I’ve made them fun as journaling doesn’t have to be heavy and when we’re just starting out in our soul led life it can feel like there’s so much to learn! So go and have fun and download the prompts here.

Love, Light & Laughter
