Francesca Maxime: Journalist, Poet, Author

In today's #WiseGirlvideo, https://youtu.be/7dk58C9Isj8  https://www.youtube.com/francescamaxime Brooklyn-based journalist, poet, and author Francesca Maxime talks about cultivating inner wisdom and what she even means by "WiseGirl." She invites you to weigh in and share your thoughts on the term. Francesca believes there is an inner knowing within all of us - girls/women and guys/men (play on words, with the WiseGuy!) that we can listen to and cultivate. It's a way of kinesthetically and somatically recognizing the sensations in our body as they arise, and listening to what they have to tell us, so we can then make thoughtful, rational choices and cultivate appropriate responses to situations that previously may have baffled us. It's about listening to our best selves and acting out of a place of inner trust and love, and not just reacting out of a place of fear. It's about tapping into our unique inner wisdom. If we stay curious, open, and listen to our gut, we can invite our own inner wisdom to come forth and emanate and help guide us through toward making more appropriate skillful decisions in our lives.  #wisdom #innerwisdom #meditation#mindfulness #awake #wakefulness#community #compassion #instinct #gut#somatic #fear #love #trust #brooklyn#newyorkcity #nyc
