Is it worth your heart’s energy right now?

I wish I could remember where I heard this quote. I wrote it in a notebook, and I keep coming back to it. Sending love and gratitude to wherever I heard this.

With that being said, how impactful is it to ask yourself this simple question? “Is it worth my heart’s energy right now?” Add this question onto anything that you have upcoming that is optional. If it is giving you anxiety, that tightness in your chest, does it take your smile away or make you smile. Taking the time to really ask yourself if what you are doing is filling you up, rather than taking away. If you have made plans that have you so happy and filled with excitement, than it is worth your hearts energy.

My yoga teacher says that everything is energy. Everything is an energy exchange. If we feel that it (whatever “it” is that you are questioning in the moment) is going to be an energy drain, ask yourself why you are moving forward with that plan. All we have is our energy, hold it close and sacred. Your heart center, your fourth chakra is a major energy center. It gives and receives in a hug, a handshake, a conversation and even our yoga poses. I love to say, “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no.” That saying isn’t as beautiful, but it does help to drive home the spirit of the question! If we do not feel passionately from our heart space, that the answer is yes, that whatever is in question is beyond worth it, then it is time to realign and find your truth.

Next time your intuition is giving you that nudging feeling, check in and ask yourself “Is this worth my heart’s energy right now?” Take several rounds of deep inhales and exhales, close your eyes and check in!
