There’s a magical moment when we go from knowing something rationally to really *knowing* it.

When the mists clear and the penny drops.

When we know exactly what’s right and what to do next.

It’s especially magical when we’ve been sitting with something for a while. A big decision. A life choice. A crossroads. When something that has been stuck unlocks.

So how do you get to that point?

For me, it happens when I can hear my thoughts out loud. I’m often outside, or in a space that feels really good for me, with someone who can act as a great sounding board.

Sometimes I just need to ask a question and can find the answer straight away. For big things, it can take a number of conversations and then I join the dots in a life changing moment of clarity. The final piece of the jigsaw fitting into place.

It’s so tempting to think that, because I think best this way, that others do too. However I’ve been noticing more and more how differently we are all wired.

How we each respond to the world and make sense of it.

How we each process our thoughts and feelings and make choices that feel good for us.

There are so many different ways of getting to the same place.

For some of us it’s important to ask our body, and to trust in the immediate response that comes back.

For some of us it’s useful to get everything out, and then take time to feel into what feels good.

For some of us it’s helpful to write out loud with a notebook as a partner.

Each of us our own way of finding our own answers.

What helps the penny drop for you?

And how can you use this to unlock more moments of clarity?

Wishing you all a wonderful week,
