If you are making choices that stretch you out of your comfort zone or go against the status quo you should expect fear to bubble up. It's normal and human. But how do you deal with the confusion, doubt, anxiety, frustration, impatience in a way that empowers you to make wise choices? And how do you get past it to find the wisdom that will actually guide you to making the wise and aligned choice for you? 

The truth is that most of us were not taught how to work with the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic responses and reactions our bodies, minds, hearts and psyches have when we make choices that stretch us, or trigger past trauma, hurt or suffering. 

But when you know how to work with both the parts of you that react from fear and past trauma or cultural or familial imprints AND the part of you connected to your true soul design and heart desires, you can the super power to elevate out of the doubt and confusion, into a inner knowing that empowers you to take action. 

In #2 of our Making Wise Choices series on Feminine Power Time with me, Christine Arylo, "Is Fear or Wisdom Guiding You? Clear Confusion & Doubt to Get to Your Truth":  we will dive into:

• How to understand the different forces within you that influence your choices 
• How to use the doubt, fear, confusion to make better choices and get what you need. 
• Why you can't ignore your emotional reactions if you want to make wise choices
• How to discern whether it's your inner critic/fear/past trauma/imprints making your choices or your inner wisdom
• The Ping Pong effect - what to do when you get caught in this or that thinking. 
• Practices for strengthening your clarity, including a 3-part practice you can do right now with the choices you are making

Bring whatever choices you are working with. You don't have to navigate this alone!

Wisdom byte:

• You must give yourself the space to feel your emotion before you can find the path to the wise choice. 
• When you stretch out of your comfort zone, it's normal to have fear and doubt. Just don't let it drive your choices. 
• Your feelings are your super power. 
• Your heart is your power center. Know how it works or you only operate at half of your intelligence. 

Wisdom Inquiry:

Journal or talk this out regarding a choice point or situation you have decisions to make:

1. What is known?
2. What is still a mystery?
3. What support do I need to make wise choices?

You make choices every day. Every choice we make - big or small - affects the shape of our lives and the reality we live. But most of us were not taught how to make wise decisions. We’ve been taught to be logical, and practical, but decisions about your life made from only the intellect often lead you to creating realties that limit you, burn you out, keep you from what you truly desire.

In changing, intense times like we live in, where we are each making choices - in our career, relationships, business, money and health - you cannot just rely on your intellect or what the mainstream world is telling you to make courageous and wise choices. 

Many of the choices I see women being faced with right now are also causing us to have to stretch outside our comfort zones … which can create feelings of fear and doubt… confusion and procrastination… and stress!

If you want to make choices that lead to a reality that supports you vs sacrifices you, you have to access both your heart wisdom and intuitive power first … have the inner skill to work with your own fear and confusion to find clarity… and then have the courage to make choices that will often look differently than others. And for this you need super powers, truly.

Which is why I decided to create this 3 part series on Feminine Power Time for you “Making Wise Choices”.

This first episode is focused on one of the super power tools I believe is essential … but most people lack. It’s called “Cultivating Your Wisdom Council” — without this I don’t think it is possible to stay focused on what matters, and make truly wise choices.

So tune in … I taped this on location in Northern California at the home of one of my soul sisters on my Wise Woman Council. during a weekend in which I came to visit 3 of the members of my council to help me make some big choices about my business and organization, and the shape of the reality those choices would create.

What I will share today is:

• Why you want to make WISE CHOICES vs. smart choices.
• What is a wisdom council, and why do you want to make sure you have one?
• How to create your own Wisdom Council
• Who to have in your council and who not to
• How to ask for the support and clarity you need so you get wisdom not advice.
  
  I also have two daring acts for you to put this into place in your life now. 

Bring the choices and challenges you are facing ... and let's get you set up to have the support you need to stay clear and stay connected to what is true for you.

see you next week!
much love,

Christine

Fierce Grace Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - Starts November 2019 

You know your lungs need oxygen to breathe. You know your heart needs love to feel safe and supported. You know your body needs water to survive. But did you know that your soul needs joy to thrive? And that more than likely due to the pressures of your life, your soul is hungering deeply for the joy it's being starved from. And this is affecting your health, your feelings of happiness, and even your real wealth. This is not coachy blah blah... this is straight up feminine wisdom for how you make sure that you have what you need to thrive in these intense times. 

Are you happy? really? Do you feel fulfilled? Do you feel like you have the space in your life you need? Do you feel like your life is nourishing you? We need you to feel JOY inside so you can make the impact you desire to make! It cannot be about all work, taking care of others and giving without you receiving! 

Last week I delivered a COURAGE boost to your heart, to help you receive the love you need to feel courageous and be courageous in your choices now and ahead.

This week's Feminine Power Time is a JOY BOOST - I am sending directly to your SOUL to increase your levels of wellness, contentment, happiness now ... not for when you go on vacation or reach nirvana. To make it through these times, our souls need JOY daily. Receiving joy is a choice, a practice both. 

So many amazing beings I know are trapped in life designs that do not support their soul and inner harmony. We consciously choose to do this differently... today we dive into:

• What is Christine talking about when she says JOY is SOUL FOOD - and why I want to know this.
• Signs that you are starving for joy 
• Checking in with yourself about how you are treating your body and soul - a workhorse, neglected child, race horse, something to whip into shape
• The Feminine Leadership Principle and self love promise of #designalifeilove - how to use this to make change in your life 
• Are you savoring your life or speeding through it?
• 3 wisdom inquiries to relfect on what really nourishes your soul - so you can start making sure you get this daily, or before you deplete yourself. 

Consciously cultivating JOY as part of your daily life design and overall life design is one of the wisest choices you can make... do not discount it as woo woo, new agey or for later. Doing so will save you time, energy and money and more importantly will make sure the life you are living in the one you really want. 

Self awareness Inquiries: (taken from The Path of Self Love) 

• I feel more free / most free when ... 
• If I could do something just because it made me happy, I would choose to...
• I just love to... (answer this for yourself today, but also as what you loved when you were a little person.)  

GRACE UNDER PRESSURE PRACTICE
* As part of your evening downshifting, ask, "Did I receive JOY today?" If not, ask what would give you joy and do that before you go to bed!

** Please Rate, Review and Share!

** And take the survey to share with me what you desire at www.FemininePowerTimeSurvey.com 

What is currently stretching you? Catalyzing or challenging you? Calling you to release, shed, complete so that you can step into what is next? In your career, relationships, community, family, health or wealth? And could you use a boost of courage and clarity to make choices, release the old and step forward?

Good! Me too! Which is why I created this Feminine Power Time for you. Its is a Courage and Clarity boost that will strengthen your CLARITY about:

• What you are being guided to release and let go so you can make space for the new 
• What roles & responsibilities no longer serve you, in your work or relationships, so you can consciously complete them
• What the next steps are in the short term so you can stop short circuiting yourself or stressing yourself out about not knowing the how.
• How to strengthen your trust in the Universe and your self trust to make wise choices and courageous leaps. 

COURAGE SO YOU CAN:

• Take leaps into what's calling you in your work, relationships and expression, now
• Have the inner self confidence to step forward even if you can't see ahead or don't know the path
• Make wise choices grounded in both reality and possibility 

I've been doing these Feminine Wisdom for Intense and Changing Time episodes for a while, and based on the survey feedback I received so far, I'm going to make them part of the regular rotation.

In between the 4 major Power Pause times - Solstices and Equinoxes - there are 4 minor 'super power days' when the earth and cosmos make an energetic shift.

In the Feminine Wisdom Way we use the minor shifts to add 'love' and wisdom to whatever we are growing and tending in our lives - be that our work, relationships, health, wealth or presence.

Here at Feminine Power Time, I'll bring a simpler version to you, focused on what I'm guided to share, and what wisdom inquiries are connected to that specific time. 

This Courage and Clarity Boost was taped on the super power of day of Lammas, August 1st - but you can listen any time and get the benefit. Lammas is a day for being at choice to what you are going to harvest this year and what will also affect your year next year. It's a time we use the feminine super power of Catalyze to consciously choose what roles, responsibilities and ways of expressing we want to SHED so we can be free to express who we desire to be now, and to have the space to grow in what our soul is calling for. 

Enjoy the Clarity and Courage Boost! I'm shedding right along with you too!

Wisdom Inquiries:

1. What is stretching and catalyzing me right now? In my work, relationships, health, wealth or personal expression?

2. What do I need to shed or let go of to make room for what's wanting to emerge - Roles? Responsibilties? Robes of Repression, in my work or relationships? 

3. What is the next step for me to take? Just the next step?

4. What does my Inner Mean Gir/Guy - that inner force of fear, doubt -- have to say about making this shift? 

5. What does my Inner Wisdom know is true?
