When life misaligns, your soul is speaking

Dear calm soul,

Have you ever had a phase where your whole life feels… off?

Nothing flows. The plans don’t excite you. The people who once made sense now feel far away.
And your own body, heavy, tired, achy
Almost feels like it’s whispering, “This isn’t it.”

I’ve lived these seasons
And I used to call them misalignment.

But now, I call them messages.
Sacred signals that the soul is no longer willing to wear the old costumes.
A quiet rebellion inside that refuses to stay silent.

The Body Doesn’t Lie

Before the mind catches it, the body always knows.

A stiff neck that resists decisions.

Jaw tightness when you hold words unspoken.

A shallow breath when you’re trying to hold it together.

An ache in the lower back when you’re carrying too much.

We are trained to ignore this language
To push through
To fix ourselves

But healing begins when we stop and listen.

Self-Observation Ritual: “Sit With Your Shift”

A small practice to hold yourself during the chaos:

Pause
Sit in stillness for 3–5 minutes.

Notice the loudest part of your body
Where is the heaviness, tightness, or discomfort?

Place your hand gently on that area

Whisper silently:

“What are you trying to tell me?”
“What truth am I avoiding here?”

Let whatever arises come
No analysis
No judgment
Just witness it

Close by affirming:

“I’m allowed to feel this
I don’t need to force clarity
I just need to stay close to myself.”

This small act builds trust
With your body
With your emotions
With your truth

This isn’t misalignment
It’s refinement

When things fall apart
Maybe they were never yours to hold

When plans collapse
Maybe life is making space

When nothing outside makes sense
Maybe it’s your inside calling for truth

I no longer rush through these seasons
I bow to them

Because every time life disorients me… it eventually realigns me with something far more real.

With reverence for your inner shift
