Reclaiming Your Inner Guidance System
With Courtney JohannesenLosing your inner guidance system can make you feel unclear, lost, or out of touch with your needs, desires, and feelings. When you feel disconnected from your core nature, you might be confused about who you are, what you want in life, and where your enthusiasm for life went. Fear of making the wrong choices can be a trap of polarized thinking. These “black-and-white” thoughts can make you lose confidence in your own abilities, fueling anxiety and guilt, and cause sleeping difficulties. Your inner guidance system gives you everything you need to make decisions, trust yourself, and take positive steps toward changing your life. Taking back your personal power involves quieting the self-judgments that keep you second-guessing and seeking other people’s validation. Knowing who you are can get covered up by external influences such as comparison and societal expectations, people-pleasing and codependent relationships, or traumas that create self-doubt and low self-esteem. Taking back your inner guidance is a process of tuning in to your thoughts, interpreting them, and deciding which ones to filter out and which ones to follow. This course helps you understand four types of thoughts so you can practice genuine self-care, better meet your needs, and trust yourself more. By engaging in small practices that help you feel better you can take away the distraction of physical and mental discomfort, and your inner voice can be heard. Each lesson offers two journal prompts so you can apply the ideas to your personal life and the process of reconnecting to your inner guidance system. This course may be especially helpful for anyone struggling with codependency, people-pleasing tendencies, comparison, or meeting external expectations, but is not intended as therapy or treatment from a mental health professional. This course is designed as a mindful exploration of your thoughts to help you overcome the confusion and feel more fulfilled so you can know and love yourself again.
Understand your thoughts and underlying motivation so you can take back your power and know, trust, and love yourself.
