Hi Reader
This month, I gifted myself a commitment of 10 hours a week of dedicated joyful movement through Gym, Pilates, Barre, Yoga, and Dance.
It wasn’t just a fitness goal.
It was a return to myself.
To the way my body breathes truth.
To the way movement heals what words cannot reach.
Movement is more than exercise.
It is medicine - for the body, yes, but also for the psyche.
The body and mind are not two.
They are one living, breathing organism - a psychosomatic whole.
What we think, we feel.
What we feel, we become.
💭 The Voices Within
There was a time I ran miles weekly - driven not by joy, but by a harsh, punishing inner voice.
I exceeded my goals.
I ticked the boxes.
But the voice in my head - the one meant to motivate - was sharp, punitive, and never satisfied.
So I stopped.
But even in stillness, guilt echoed:
“You should be moving - it’s good for you.”
So I’d start again.
But the sharp, punitive, never satisfied voice would return - louder than before.
At one point, I realized:
It wasn’t the movement I was resisting,
It was the energy, that is,
The judgment, the self-criticism, even the music I was choosing;
That made movement feel like punishment, not peace.
Inside me, many voices spoke:
🌀 One said, “Movement is punishment. Why are you punishing your body, yourself?
🌀 Another whispered, “But we love to move - cartwheels, dance, running, hands up in the air, wind in our face - freedom!”
🌀 A third reminded me of all the reasons not to try: “You’re too busy, too tired, too late.”
🌀 And a fourth was confused: “You used to love movement, it contributes so much to our happiness and joy - what's happening!?”
The mental loop felt endless.
Until I began to listen deeply.
To truly hear… all the voices
Not push them away, and get overwhelmed by them
Listening in, and to all of them, I gently asked:
So which of these voices is actually me, which one is mine, who is me? This helped me start coming back to my true self, as opposed to trying to please all these voices all at the same time - which never works.
🧘🏽♀️ Returning to the True Self
Over the last 2.5 years, I’ve been engaged in sacred inner work;
a tender, intentional coming home to my truest voice.
Not silencing the others, but seeing them.
Not judging, but discerning.
Now, I can recognize:
✨ Which voice is speaking
✨ What emotions, feelings and mood it brings
✨ How my body responds
✨ What choices I make from that place
Why?
Because we don’t move through life only with our thoughts;
We move with our energy, our presence, our posture, and our spirit.
And others experience us through that embodiment.
When I hear a voice that’s out of alignment with my intention,
My shoulders drop. My breath tightens. My gaze lowers.
The body always tells the truth.
And in return, when I move from love; with compassion, care, and alignment;
My body opens. My posture lifts. My energy radiates.
This is the true practice of self-leadership.
And when it comes to leading, looking after and serving others,
It is the journey of not only Embodying Leadership, but Becoming Leadership Itself.
🌀 Ontological Awareness as a Pathway to Joy
Through ontological coaching and neuroscience,
I now approach exercise - and life - with reverence.
It’s no longer a task.
It’s a communion with my current and future self.
A celebration of aliveness.
A declaration of I am worthy now.
When we understand the connection between:
🗣 Our inner language
💫 Our emotional field
💃🏽 Our embodied actions
…we gain the ability to create - not just respond.
This is the foundation of the Mutedzi 3D Protocol → Define, Design, Display;
and it begins with deep self-inquiry.
✍🏽 Define Your Own Alignment
Ask yourself:
- What is the soul-aligned target I’m setting this month?
- Why is it important; for me, for my future, for the collective I serve?
- What fears or beliefs quietly resist this intention?
- What past stories or excuses echo here?
- What is the true barrier calling for love and support?
- What will success feel like in my body, spirit, and life?
- How can I begin to feel that now, before the result arrives?
The clearer your intention, the more powerful your path.
