Which part of you is your subconscious instinctual

Which part of you is your subconscious instinctual leader?

I’ve always “thought” of myself as heart- led…. BUT oh, No 😀😀😀😀 I instinctively lead with my head and thoughts. And under stress I can instinctively disconnect from my heart and body.
#Gottalovethosetraumaresponses

My enneagram is type 7- a head lead type. My Human Design is MG 4/6
with Sacral authority and an open head center. I reactively look to my head/thoughts/reason.. for certainty. And I’m learning to connect with my heart and my body. I’m learning to notice when my head is creating disconnect…. Meeting that protective part and then connecting with my heart and my body, and my thinking parts even deeper.

The result is a greater sense of grounding and balance. Learning to listen to and trust my heart and body. And learning to let my head rest! (oh my the overthinking).

What do you lead instinctively with? Head, heart, body? And what is it like to be you?

Ps every time I take the enneagram I get a different number. Tested 4 today. Maybe my heart work is working.

Are your parts all jumbled and vying for attention

Are your parts all jumbled and vying for attention? Overthink much? 💛

If you are a business owner, this can show up as:
💜comparison
💜overwhelm
💜procrastination
💜doubt
💜being overcommitted
💜sensitive to rejection
💜avoiding visibility in offering your services
💜 avoiding effective sales tasks
💜 inaction and disassociation (endless scrolling on social media instead)
💜 anxiety
💜 money fears and blocks.

Oooh…. I feel you. As you probably already know, we can’t escape these parts by ignoring them, bypassing them… or even meditating them away.

What actually can work is getting to know these parts, meeting yourself, and building relationships with them… through curios and calm, compassion…. This can bring clarity, creativity, courage, and confidence to your system.

Get to know these well-meaning parts of you. 💛💛💛

A must read. Our emotions are not a problem to solve…. And most of us have NOT been taught how to feel and flow with emotions in a helpful and honoring way. Most of our learning around emotions has involved repression and shame.

For years my emotions were stuffed and “de-pressed” until they weren’t and then they flood overwhelm me. I’ve learned so much and have way more reverence and familiarity with my strong emotions. I am still learning.

I wish for all humanity this gift. 💛
I believe learning how to feel and emote in an horning way, meeting our own parts fully, both the emotional and protective…, one would truly change the world and humanity.

Take a moment. Be completely present with yourself

Take a moment. Be completely present with yourself. With your body… through your breath. From toe to head… let every cell in your body remember you are loved, able, and more than enough. 💛

Hey you driver, over achiever, dear One who tries

Hey you driver, over achiever, dear One who tries so hard. I see you. I am the other you. I catch myself trying to hard sometimes, too. Meet those parts inside with love and tenderness. Just connect w/ them. No coaching, to teaching just BE present with these tender striving parts. Nourish them with your compassion and connection.

I know my parts will soften with that connection, I bet yours will too.

Your emotions and your business CAN enhance one an

Your emotions and your business CAN enhance one another… but not if we keep them fiercely separated like you’ve been taught your whole life.

What is understanding your emotions and being in partnership was the key…

No more depressing down.
No more people pleasing.
Way less overthinking.
Clear internal and external boundaries.
Less emotional overwhelm and flooding.

The “NO Crying in Baseball” mentality is harmful… but few have been taught how to feel and be with emotions and strong feelings in a way that can be healthy, regulated, connected, and creative.

This is a skill that can be learned. There are creative and compassionate spaces for powerful people where you don’t have to have it all perfectly together even though you are a leader.

Success- SoulFull success, does not have to be at the expense of toxic bypassing.

And the work can be messy, and feel scary, and it can often be mundane and unsexy. But inner calm is possible. 💛💛💛

💛 AC.
