It’s time to think of sustainability for our bodies. It starts with self-care.
Hi! If you’re like most of my clients, you’ve been just trying to make it through for a WHILE now.
I had a client come in last week who basically in five minutes summarized the entire last pandemic year in for all of us:
so many changes
so many unknowns to navigate
unresolved anxiety and trauma
lots of family hurts and feelings to manage
a big job shift
unsure of how to move forward socially
in a really bad place with their body
Can we just pause on this? This is such a collective experience happening right now and I want you to know that you are heard! You are seen! The world and our hearts are with you. It’s collective and it’s so human and understood that this has been a rough go in our journeys through humanhood. What a time.
I hear that some of us might feel like: it hasn’t been that bad. I fared pretty well in all of this. And I’m so glad to hear, that is so good to take stock and what if you’ve done all right? Sigh, so good. Take a breath. That IS wonderful.
And… it’s okay to find those spaces where you can just let it not be “okay”. It’s okay that it’s not all okay. In the sense that there is a knocking on that deeper cosmic door and are you listening? What is your body telling you? Is there anything that you need right now?
I hope that you can start with self-compassion. If we all started with an ABUNDANCE of self-love in all that we did, I feel there could be such an incredible shift towards peace, both inside and out. Let us be so kind and gentle with ourselves.
Really listen to your inner voice and imagine talking with an eager four-year-old who wants a hug. Awww. I hear you, it’s been hard. So rough, your body is hurting. Yes, this is difficult.
AND. There are baby steps towards feeling better. What could they be for you? It can be the tiniest steps. This last I have had the honor of working with a number of clients who had never had a massage before ever. YES! I feel so excited that people are reaching out for nurturing healing, for spaces they can rest into, to heal, to feel themselves in a new way.
What are you willing to try? Excited even?
What are your baby steps, the tiniest movements, the one degree shifts towards your own inner light?
We are here for you, to help you create that space to listen, to go within and to find those small, quiet shifts that can make all the difference.
Be well with love,
Katy
