The Art of Listening to Yourself

Silence your inner critic and discover your inner wisdom• Explores how to listen to your thoughts, body, emotions, intuition, and other people from a place of neutral self-assessment • Explains how most of us respond to the world automatically based on mental habits • Shares journaling exercises and mindfulness practices to enhance intuition and recognize limiting beliefs, biases, shadows, and weaknesses Without realizing it, most of us tend to respond to the world automatically. We react based on habit and our memories, rather than what our senses, bodies, emotions, intuition, or the people around us are conveying. Ismael Cala explores how you can break free from these mental habits and discover the wisdom of your own inner voice. Cala explains how to cultivate deeper self-awareness, enhance intuition, and become more mindful through the art of non-judgmental listening. Drawing upon examples from his own life, as well as journaling exercises and mindfulness practices, he explores ways to listen to your inner dialogue from a place of critical self-reflection and neutral, loving self-assessment. He explains how to observe your thoughts as passing clouds and not identify with them, as well as how to recognize limiting beliefs, biases, shadows, and weaknesses. Examining the connections between the mind, heart, and body, the author considers how emotions affect our physical well-being and how they can hinder our thoughts and reactions. By learning to listen to your body, you can better interpret what pain, discomfort, or stress may be signaling. The author also shares strategies for listening to others with empathy for better communication and stronger relationships. With inspiring success stories and practical methods to strengthen your intuition, this book shows how tuning in to your intuitive voice can lead you to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
