Finding Your Voice When the World Feels Loud

When finding your voice, the mic drops.

When the world feels overwhelming and everyone else seems to have an opinion about what I should do, I shut down all media. I need the quiet to hear myself think and let myself feel.

I find peace in a bathtub, sitting among trees, or watching the waves in the water. Those are the moments I connect with my authentic voice—not the voice that’s trying to please others or meet expectations, but the voice that knows my truth.

The world is loud. Social media is loud. Other people’s opinions are loud. But your authentic voice? It speaks in whispers. It requires stillness to hear.

 💫A Reiki Moment: Heart-Centered Clarity

 

When external noise threatens to drown out your inner wisdom, return to your heart center for clarity.

Place your hand on your heart and take three deep breaths. Feel the warmth of your palm against your chest. In this quiet space, ask yourself the question I ask when I need to cut through the noise:

“What do you really want, [your name]?”

Listen for the first answer that comes—not the loudest answer, not the most logical answer, but the truest answer. Your heart knows what your mind sometimes forgets.

 📝 Words of Encouragement

I remember being a guest speaker in a college classroom and knowing, in my whole body, that I would teach that class. I was tingling, walking on air—I was on a cloud with no number. It was an amazing feeling.

No one could tell me different. And two years later, I was right.

That’s what happens when you trust your authentic voice. It doesn’t just sound right—it feels right in your entire being. It creates a knowing that can’t be shaken by other people’s doubts.

Your authentic voice isn’t always the loudest voice in the room. Sometimes it’s the quietest. But it’s always the truest.

  ✨Put It Into Practice

🖊️ Prompt: Turn off all devices for 20 minutes. Find your quiet place—bathtub, under trees, by water, closet, wherever you feel most like yourself. Then write: “When everything else gets quiet, what is my heart trying to tell me?”

Don’t think—just listen and write. Your authentic voice is waiting for you to create the space to hear it. Finding your voice is the key to overall wellness.
