Making big life decisions can be quite difficult and daunting. How do you know when you’re making a decision from the right place? I’m learning that the answer usually comes when I get quiet enough to hear it. When I allow myself to feel it.

This year, I’m trusting myself more by tuning in to my inner guide. I meditate to feel if the decision is right for me, write down my thoughts in my journal and pray to God to keep guiding and protecting me. Ultimately, I surrender and trust that everything is going according to God’s plan 🙏🏼

Fear naturally comes but I never allow it to make my decisions for me. Instead, I connect with my heart, align with my values, clarify my intentions and feel what feels right in my soul. After all, love will always be more powerful than fear ❤️‍🔥”
