When is it inspired guidance or you just making it up?

We have all heard the term follow your inspired guidance, but what exactly is that?

When is it inspired guidance or you just making it up? How do you really know it is not just you making it up, with a bit of wishful thinking? Or even your Ego chipping in?

It can be so complicated working it all out and no wonder so many lose touch with their inspired guidance not knowing when to trust it. That is often when life takes over and feels sticky, nothing is flowing well. It is just hard work.

Why we should follow our inspired guidance

Ok, here is the reality I am pretty good following mine with most things. I can work out when it is me, “The Upstairs” or my Ego. This is such an important thing to be able to do as when we manifest and use Law of Attraction it is not just a case of asking, sitting back and waiting for it to appear out of thin air. We have to often follow our guidance to get us there.

I have been asking for guidance to improve my health. I swim regularly but felt there was something else I should do. The fact is I got my guidance two years ago and have been ignoring it because I was scared. I was getting in my own way, big time. How ridiculous, I asked for help, got the guidance and ignored it. I know I won’t be alone in that as fear holds up back all the time.

The guidance came in the many forms, often it is a feeling, a nudge, synchronicities, but this time for me it was messages kept popping up everywhere I went, everything I saw, everything I heard, it was everywhere!

What was this message I kept hearing you might be wondering? Well it was just four little letters…..YOGA.

I can’t remember how many times I heard people mention yoga, or I saw posts about it, adverts for classes, the mention of yoga pants, it was crazy.

Every time I heard the word I felt something happen within me. I knew deep inside I was meant to do it. I knew it was guidance but I was ignoring it because I was telling myself I couldn’t do it. I was too big, I would get stuck on the floor, they would need a crane to lift me up I joked with my children, oh the embarrassment, people would laugh at me.

I can remember feeling the strong pull of my intuition about yoga 18 months ago and downloaded some videos to try. I maybe did it a couple of times and thought no this is too hard work; my body wasn’t meant to get on the floor in strange positions.

Inspired guidance doesn’t go away

I kept ignoring my guidance I was getting. Yet here’s the thing, the guidance didn’t go away nor did it get sick of reminding me, it continued until I could eventually took action.

I could feel the pull the intuition, the gut instinct telling me to go and try it.

So just two weeks ago, something happened. I was delivering my weekly video message on Facebook live, the cards where health and romance. The message on the health card was to take some action to look after your health. I found myself there and then saying about yoga. Yes I even said it live out loud I was going to try it, I could hardly believe myself.

I kept thinking about what had happened on the live video as each day passed. I thought I can’t ignore this any longer. I can’t be delivering guidance for us all and not take it myself that would be hypercritical of me and I am definitely known for walking my talk.

So I posted asking if anyone knew of classes locally. Immediately I got my answer, next thing I was contacting the local yoga teacher checking out her site for classes time. It was the very next day. Might as well strike whilst the iron is hot I thought.

So I went. My day was busy as usual so no time to really think about it which as just as well, as if I had recalled my last experience 18 months earlier of me in my room on the floor with my body just crying out for me to stop. I never would have gone.

I was almost on autopilot and I have to say I soon as I walked into the room my stomach flipped. The big expanse of the wooden floor with all the mats laid out and people already in position. Geez. how could I have forgotten I had to get on the floor. I could have so easily walked out again.

The instructor was lovely and welcoming and I did what I always do, I asked my Angels to help me. All the while through the class I was chatting to them and asking for their support.

Fears are irrational

When I started to relax something incredible happen, I felt my body in a way I have never felt it before. I still am struggling to articulate it. It was like feeling my body for the first time, all my life I had never felt my body unless it was in pain, now I could connect to it. It was like I surrendered to loving it just as it was. I felt connected to myself. Taking better care of myself. Showing my body, I loved it.  Sure it couldn’t do all the positions, but it never got stuck. No one laughed and certainly no crane had to come in to get me up!

My fears yet again where irrational. I had been ignoring my guidance for 2 years. If I had stepped through my fears 2 years ago how amazing would my body feel now?

The reality is all we ever have is now. What guidance are you ignoring?

I have since been back to two more classes and I am so enjoying it. Who knows how long I will do it for but I wish I had started early when I was getting nudged. “The Upstairs” really do know what is best for us. Don’t let your ego and fears hold you back. Next time you wonder when is it inspired guidance or you just making it up? Follow your guidance and you will know when it is right as it will go with ease and flow.
