When you have doubts about the path you’re on…

You ever get that voice in your head that asks:

‘Am I doing the right thing with my life?’

Yes?

Well. Me too. A lot.

I had that voice show up today. It seems to return with more intensity in cycles.

These thoughts come faster and thicker as I try to seize a solution.

Should I keep coaching, or should I just drop it all and start a career as a fiction writer?

Or should I focus more on teaching classes and paint on the side?

But how will I make enough money?

Or maybe it’s best to move to the woods and live off the land.

On and on.

These thoughts fill my mind, and I can feel the heaviness of it all. It sticks in my throat.

It ripples my chest. I want an answer. I want to stamp the ground.

I hate being here.

Another voice says, take a walk, and so I do.

Walks bring me back into the joy of movement and presence in my body.

This stills my mind, creating room for insights again.

Those ideas that are delivered to me when I’m higher up on the ladder of consciousness.
