This is exactly what I needed to read today. Struggling with deciding between two possible places to live and I have to make a choice fast so I can move in late July. Thank you for sharing!!

Such a wonderful connection of life and painting - both are our creations, which gets tainted by the noise of the society and other so called limitations we belief in our minds. Love the expression of free flowing and letting our body guide us❤️

That’s so true. There’s so much that we get entangled in that is just societal expectations and not what we actually want or what’s important to us.

Wonderful piece Shinjini!

I loved this snippet in particular:

"...it’s only by making a decision and acting on it that we can move forward…that life can move forward…that new paths can unfold beneath our feet. And isn’t that the point of this wild and precious life?"

As you say, often if we listen to our bodies (if we are in tune enough to be able to), the answers are there. We can feel it in the pit of our stomach, a resounding vibration when we make a choice that is in alignment with what we believe, and know to be best for us. I often overthink and find it hard to do this, but I've found taking a few moments to center myself helps more than, well, thinking about how to stop overthinking! Thanks for the insightful post <3

Ah yes, overthinking can interfere with the signals our body sends us! I’ve also found that the body has a way of eventually getting us to pay attention, though that’s not a very pleasant experience!
