Does it feel good? Simple question right? Does what I'm doing, thinking, being, feeling right now actually feel good to me? This is the question I've been asking myself all week and in a way all year. It's harder to answer than one might think. And it's not something we ask often in little moments. Someone might ask how you're feeling and you'll say "good" but that's not what I mean. I mean, for instance, when you're getting ready to make dinner and you feel irrationally grumpy about it (as in why does the thought of boiling water make me want to cry) perhaps noticing you don't feel good and taking that as a note to STOP and wonder if perhaps tonight we order takeout? It's simple right. Yet why don't we do that more often? Because we're running a script on what we SHOULD be doing. But this question ties right into finding what's true and listening to your body as a compass. Try using it whenever you feel grumpy and then do something about it if the answer is "no, this feels crummy." -- you'll be happy you listened to yourself. Lots of love.

I'm Sarah Davis, and this is a podcast about what to do when you look at your life and don't see much of your true "self" in it.
It's about leaping, trusting, listening, making big changes, and laughing as you bump up against the adventure of what's true.
It's a swirly compass, the truth, but in the end, step by step, it guides us home.
