If you're looking for more clarity in your life, clarity of purpose or how to activate that purpose, and you are someone who wants to operate from your highest self to be a force for good, you know this world craves, then this is the show for you. I'm Anita Adams, your host and guide to finding clarity and creating a life you love. Let's tap into our inner wisdom, access our highest self and unleash joy. As we do this, we raise our vibration and heighten the collective consciousness. And that, my friend, is the joyful journey. Let's dive in. Hey, joyful journey or I need to Adams here your host and today I want to encourage you and perhaps remind you to trust the niggles? What are the niggles? You ask? It's an intuition, a feeling inside you that something needs to be addressed, that something is off that something needs your attention. Your body is an instrument that feels vibrational energy and is tuned into higher intelligence. When you notice something in the body when something feels out of alignment or off pay attention. question it. What is this about? Ask why am I feeling this way? Listen to what bubbles up. If it is a relationship that causes the niggles go deeper and explore. Is there something off with that or relationship? Is there something that needs to be discussed with another person? Ignoring the niggles will not make the problem go away. The universe will only throw bigger obstacles at you until you address the problem that is giving you the niggles your intuition should not be doubted. Listen to the guidance it gives you. When you listen to these niggles, which is one way inner wisdom speaks to you, you may be guided to make a decision that is not easy. It may guide you to make a decision that hurts the heart and makes you feel sad. Listening to inner wisdom doesn't mean you will always be led to feel good choices, you will be led to choices that are for the greatest and highest good though, and they will always be choices based in love. Even if that love based choice brings heartache and pain. Stepping away from a relationship that is toxic is a good example, you may still deeply love the person you are ending a relationship with. And yet you understand that you must end that relationship. It hurts the heart to do it is deeply saddening, and you may feel much loss because you also have many beautiful memories together. And yet, you understand this is yours to do. Now, I want to add that many relationships and this way unnecessarily. They end because people didn't listen to the niggles when they first appeared. Maybe you are going through this right now in a relationship, or have in the past and need to hear this. You know something is off. But you've been putting it pushing it aside,

ignoring it, not trusting it, I get that

it's really uncomfortable to have those challenging conversations with a partner when things feel off. My husband and I experienced this about 15 years ago, things were off for many years. I wanted something more from him and from our relationship, but I didn't know how to ask for it. I wasn't even all that clear about what I really wanted. I just knew I wanted something more something different than what we were experiencing. But I didn't know how to have that conversation with him. And consequently, a gulf between us grew, it became a vast cavity of emptiness. And the longer I went without addressing the problem, the bigger the dark hole between us became, and the harder it became for me to share with him what I needed. It was the same for my husband. He felt something was off too, but it was too hard to address and easier to just push aside and ignore. Then I began to make other choices that drew us further and further apart, seeking attention, validation connection from others outside the marriage. Until one day when my husband listened to the niggles that were troubling him, listened to his intuition, his inner wisdom. She found the courage to talk to me about what was going on between us What followed was painful, deeply painful. It took a few years to work our way out of that dark hole we dug ourselves in. We were able to do that though, because my husband had the courage to listen to his inner wisdom, the courage to take action, and the courage to sit in the pain that it brought. I obviously played a role here too, and had the courage to be in the conversation, and the courage to look inward to understand myself better so I can make better choices. It's not lost on me that if my husband didn't act as he did when he did, there was a good chance that our marriage would not have survived. There comes a point when it's too late. Either too much damage has been done, or that void that grows between two people is so vast that no bridge can be built over it. Don't let that happen to you. When you start getting a niggle that something is off, that something needs your attention, step into action quickly. The longer you wait to address those niggles, the harder it will be to take action, and the more painful life may become. Those niggles could be about a relationship, about your work about money, about your health, about any number of things. What is niggling at you, take a few minutes every day and tune into your body. Your body is a beautiful instrument that is tuned into a higher frequency of energy. It is sending you signals all the time. Listen to them. Take a few moments in the morning before you get out of bed. Keep your eyes closed and do a body scan. Imagine a light moving up from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. Does anything feel off? Do you feel pain in any part of your body? Do you feel a tightness in your heart and your chest. These are signals that something needs to be addressed. Sometimes those pains are obvious and are directly connected to a physical ailment. Sometimes they are connected to something else entirely. Lower back pain for instance, can be a result of not using your legs to lift heavy objects or it may be a sign that you are feeling unsupported. Lower Back Pain is linked with finance the lack of money, fear of not having enough fear of material loss, the fear of your own survival. It is worth exploring and better understanding what may be causing you physical pain. You may already have a deep knowing or understanding of what is off and understanding about a relationship about work about money. These are the big ones that typically show up and we often suppress or push away for far too long. If you are having pain points in these areas, don't bury them any longer, it's time to address them. An easy way to start is to journal about what you are feeling this will help you find more clarity. Start by exploring what is troubling you. Then explore how you want your life to look. If the relationship the career the money was the way you wanted it. Getting clear on what you want for your life is an important first step. Then take action. That might mean having a conversation with the person who was connected with the issue. Your life partner, a boss, a friend, if that is too uncomfortable, find a professional to talk to who can guide you. The longer you ignore the niggle, the harder it will be to address and the bigger the consequences. The universe will continue to throw things at you until you address that niggle This is why some people can never seem to make a relationship work. They are not addressing the niggle, so a relationship continues to worsen until it ends. Then they get into another relationship and repeat the whole process. So pay attention to those niggles big and small and address them as soon as they appear. When you practice doing this, you become a fine tuned instrument and you create the life you want with much greater ease. And remember, even though it can be painful, addressing the niggle listening to your inner wisdom will ultimately lead you

to a better place.
