Why do we feel so safe being in constant motion? Why is it so hard to slow down? Feeling accomplished is a beautiful thing until it ends up serving as a mask for our emotional state. Staying busy is often a coping mechanism for feelings we don't want to acknowledge, pushing us further away from our intuition. Rest is vital to understanding ourselves. Growth is found in the reflection of stillness.

As inherent empaths it can be hard to say no, hard to find confidence in our inner voice, and hard to place value amongst our outside world and our own needs. Through bringing awareness to your own needs, desires, and goals it becomes more natural to choose actions and words that better align with a sustainable future. "Walking Your Why" is a phrase from the book "Emotional Agility" by Susan David. I was extremely touched by the co...
