Sick Of Your Own Thoughts?
/
Are you sick of hearing the same thoughts, beliefs and stories in your mind and feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and sick?
Whether its self deprecating thoughts of all the ways you’re not good enough as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, brother, son, dad or in your work or relationships, these thoughts run through our minds as a story that you know near and dear. Or perhaps you have had certain physical symptoms for so long, you feel inadequate to support your body in healing. You’ve done so much healing work, you probably know why, the story behind what created these beliefs and have talked about them to numerous specialists, doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, your trainer, your friend, and your cat or dog.
It’s so f-ing frustrating to be putting all of this effort into self-care and still feeling the same old way.
There are few factors at play here.
The issues are not in your head, they’re in your tissues. What’s causing the distress, is in your bodyhome. You can’t strategize, analyze or talk yourself out of it. This is a big one.
Our culture prioritizes cognitive ability over all else. So when you’re not feeling “yourself” shame and blame are a next easy step for your mind which increases the stress energy is your bodyhome.
Self-care is only truly caring if it is shifting your nervous system to regulate and metabolize stress energy. If it doesn’t change how you respond to stress over time, its just a bandaid. If you’re doing the same self care you did 10 years ago and you’re still anxious, its not working. If you’re bopping around and not giving your nervous system time to adjust to new techniques, it’s not working.
We are not used to actually feeling our emotions. Now that we’re all carrying stress of the pandemic, our histories and generational trauma from your lineage, the stress energy that we’re carrying is a million times more intense. The idea of feeling your emotions is super scary and who would want to go there? It’s too much!
So where do I go from here?
Ironically, to shift your nervous system’s patterning to stress, you have to connect with your body on a level that you may never have before (even if you've done a shit ton of therapy, yoga, acupuncture, etc). It’s not complicated. It’s actually very simple to FEEL more like yourself.
You learn what that actually means by slowly following your body’s impulses and experiences. As you do this more and more, you begin to find a flow with your body, an inner conversation that provides the most incredible sense of self, belonging, connection, trust, safety, compassion and space to literally be yourself. Anxiety and depression decrease, you feel your emotions in a healthy way and your life energy becomes available for all that you want to do in your life.
It is not your fault and change is possible.
