We’ve all been there...it’s the place where you don’t have the energy to care about the opinions of others.
.
It’s the place where you don’t have the energy to pretend to be anything other than exactly who you are.
.
It’s the place where you really learn which connections in your life are draining and which are invigorating.
.
It’s the place where you don’t have the energy to hang on to anything that’s not vitally important to you.
.
It’s the place where—willingly or not—you find yourself vulnerable.
.
It can be incredibly enlightening. Allow this place to help you understand how/on what/with whom to spend your energy moving forward.
Indecisiveness and always feeling unsure or in need of external validation is a direct result of being disconnected from yourself.
.
When in doubt or in need of direction, try asking yourself first and then just sitting quietly to listen. You might be surprised by what comes through.
.
Tip: If you’re having trouble getting out of your head and into your body, try my free 7-minute guided breathwork meditation video (link in bio). It can help you quiet the mind and plug into your own energy instead of scanning your external environment.
.
If you then also choose to seek advice from a trusted source, you’ll be better able to FEEL what resonates for you.
An unknown outcome means familiar resources and security coping mechanisms may not be available to you...and that can feel anywhere from uncomfortable to downright scary depending on your life experiences.
.
This is a behavior pattern that at one time kept you safe but at this time in your life may be holding you back and you may not need it anymore.
.
Understanding and unpacking that can help you begin to accept and trust that you are capable of handling the unknown. And in my opinion, that is one of the most empowering feelings.
There is no shame in asking for help. Not only that, asking for help is brave...every single time.
.
Feeling the fear-based need to do it all yourself is a behavior pattern that at one time kept you safe but at this time in your life may be holding you back and you may not need it anymore.
.
Understanding and unpacking that can help you begin to accept and trust that you are safe to be vulnerable and that there is more we can achieve together when we help each other, than we could ever accomplish alone.
make time for yourselves “it is okay to love yourself a teeny bit more” - do something for yourself today ✨

And final thought: How many times are you the one that crosses your own boundaries?

Triple truth-bomb Tuesday
.
.
.
August’s virtual breathwork group will focus on expression, creativity, and being seen...all the while (as we do every month) working on creating that safety within our own bodies to let go of trauma-response patterns and more fully embrace and accept who we are, as we are.

I’ve learned to use my anxiety as an indicator for when I’m out of alignment and focused too much on my external environment vs. my internal experience.
.
If I’m feeling a lot of anxiety, it’s usually because:
I’m ignoring, suppressing, or resisting my intuition/ intuitive guidance.
I’m pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone (a good thing but calls for a little extra gentleness and self care)
I’m trying too hard to control chaos and need to let go a little.
I’m scared of the unknown or of being vulnerable and need to tell myself that who I am is enough, will always be enough, and that it’s okay to ask for help.
I’m trying to do too much and I need to slow down and rest.
I’m too focused on what others need or might be thinking or feeling and I need to check in with my own needs...(a signal to increase awareness and attention on my energetic boundaries.)
I’m not eating well or enough. Food affects mood!
I’m avoiding feeling my feelings (grief, general hurt, anger, etc.)
.
When you start to see emotions as information, FEELING becomes a lot more empowering.
