The Soul Gauge

What feels good?

 

What does my gut say?

 

Am I living in the feminine?

 

Or am I going in a masculine sway?

 

What lights me up?

 

What fills my internal cup?

 

What do I say yes to?

 

And what deserves a “no”?

 

I completely know myself

 

So I’m vigilant and challenge

 

The routine flow.

 

What is driving my choice?

 

And the action that I take?

 

Fear and control subside.

 

Steer me to treat others

 

With love as my primary guide.

 

What awareness can I look

 

Within myself to see?

 

How am I taking care

 

Of the little girl inside of me?

 

What words occupy my mind?

 

I am, “confident, loved, secure and protected.”

 

Self-loving words are the best kind.

 

Am I listening to those internal pings?

 

The ones that plant

 

A far-fetched idea

 

That is totally worth exploring?

 

How exciting!

 

Am I mindful of my breath?

 

The only antidote

 

That puts my anxious thoughts

 

To death.

 

How am I honoring my commitments for myself?

 

Putting me first

 

is an act of self respect

 

Above all else.

 

How am I growing in my spiritual practice?

 

How will I be present in the now?

 

Connecting with myself and my internal axis.

 

To discover the answers are within.
