Not dramatically someone else, just subtly adjusted. Slightly edited. Constantly measuring. Over time, that distance from yourself can feel normal. Until one day, it doesn’t. Coming home to yourself is not a single decision. It is a gradual softening. It begins when you stop abandoning your own signals. When you stop negotiating your inner knowing for approval. When you let yourself be imperfect and still...]]></description><link>https://www.hereandbeing.com/post/coming-home-to-yourself</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69717f3857bf74af1319c79e</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 23:30:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1bef1_c28c496e089f439dbd5b0bba2ebd36f4~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_787,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frances Pratt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living Alignment in Ordinary Moments]]></title><description><![CDATA[Alignment does not require dramatic change. It rarely announces itself in sweeping transformations or grand declarations. More often, it lives in the ordinary. In the way you answer an email. In the way you respond to a conversation. In the way you choose rest instead of reaction. There is a quiet dignity in small, aligned choices. Choosing honesty over performance. Choosing softness over defensiveness. Choosing to pause before responding. These moments may never be visible to anyone else....]]></description><link>https://www.hereandbeing.com/post/living-alignment-in-ordinary-moments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69717f1181cbae04bd644e25</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Mar 2026 23:30:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1bef1_1dff4af7a0fe49bf8e0dd0994a8f878f~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_787,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frances Pratt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finding Your Natural Rhythm]]></title><description><![CDATA[Your energy moves in cycles.

Advice is everywhere. Opinions arrive before we’ve even finished forming a thought. Guidance can be helpful – steadying, even – but over time it can create a subtle disorientation. What do I  actually think? What feels true for me? Inner authority is not defiance. It is not the refusal of wisdom. It is simply the recognition that there is a centre inside you that knows how to orient. That centre...]]></description><link>https://www.hereandbeing.com/post/honouring-your-inner-authority</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69717ecb57bf74af1319c686</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Feb 2026 23:30:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1bef1_f7f14bdac71845b4b82436a4a2ba4542~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_787,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frances Pratt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rebuilding Self-Trust Gently]]></title><description><![CDATA[There are many ways self-trust can quietly erode. It rarely happens all at once. It happens in small moments — when we override a feeling, dismiss a hesitation, and talk ourselves out of what we sensed. Often, we do this for good reasons. To be responsible. To be agreeable. To keep things steady. We learn to prioritise what is expected over what is felt. And slowly, almost imperceptibly, we begin to doubt our own signals. If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself immediately after making a...]]></description><link>https://www.hereandbeing.com/post/rebuilding-self-trust-gently</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69717ea76582220b65f3fe48</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Feb 2026 23:26:48 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1bef1_35727e6b842f4a4eb69b32b7131460e4~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_787,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Frances Pratt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning to Listen Inwardly]]></title><description><![CDATA[Listening inwardly is a gentle remembering—a way of turning toward yourself without urgency or expectation.
