Do either of these scenarios sound familiar?
– Perhaps your mind is racing at night and you would rather be easing into a restful night’s sleep, because God knows you need it! You grab your phone to open a Meditation App and get pulled into all of your Notifications and Reminders and Messages on Social Media. An hour or so later you are still revved up and can not relax to go to sleep. Maybe a glass of wine would help.
– Perhaps you are running from one thing to the next all day and have no idea what you actually accomplished by the time your head hits the pillow. There is just too much to do and the list keeps getting longer. The laundry and dishes are piled high and you have deadlines at work you are trying to cram for. You are exhausted, under appreciated, and if anyone asks you what’s for dinner, you just might explode on them. If you could just get off this roller coaster of emotions, things might be able to change.
– Your relationships to the people closest to you feel strained, and you do not know what to do about it. Real life circumstances are incredibly challenging. You feel stuck, perhaps even numb. You do not feel like you are being seen, or heard, or supported. You may not even know what you need, much less how to communicate it to others. And what might others think, or do, in response? So you remain immobile, and stuck in that spot right there, while it continues to eat away at you.
– You are not comfortable in your skin. You haven’t exercised in while – or maybe you exercise all the time – and it just doesn’t seem to help. The self judgement rules your internal thoughts and is unbearable. You may not hate your body, but you hate how it’s not cooperating with you. Why can’t I just…? If I could only lose 10 pounds, then I would feel better… I can’t even peel myself off the couch… My body hurts – my shoulders, upper back and neck – my low back and hips… You want to get out of your head and into your Body, but how does one do that and what does it even truly mean?
– You used to feel connected… to your family, friends, and community. You used to feel connected to YOURSELF and to your passions. You used to feel like you were living a purpose filled life. Where did that go? How did you get so off track? How did you get here and how in the world can you turn this ship around? You want to have fun again, and damnit, you deserve it!
