In a Split Second
That split second - the one that takes you to your knees. The moment you realize something has got to change. The moment when it all comes crashing down. Have you had one of those? If you are like me, and I've had many, you understand.
So let's get fully transparent and vulnerable here. Like you (or not), I'd been running crazy busy, not putting my self-care a priority, allowing other peoples schedules to dictate mine - and oh, jumped into a rigorous exercise plan to lose the 20 pounds I'd gained over the course of the last almost 2 years. By mid-May, I could hardly walk. #truth. The pain in my body was almost unbearable - taking me down to tears at times.
By the beginning of June, I'd seen the doctor, had xrays, blood tests and more. And then on June 17, I had a clear message - "step back the next 6 weeks. Slow down, listen, focus on me - and the healing will come." Believe me, you listen to a message like that.
I've had a team to help me - a doctor, a physical therapist, a personal trainer who works with the physical therapist, a massage therapist (and she ain't no fluffy massage - this is therapeutic and not always comfortable in the moment) a chiropractor, and a nutritionist. Chronic pain like this - you'll do whatever you need to do to heal thyself! AND... it's working.
My weight is releasing, my body is responding well to the treatments and my YES I CAN mindset is what has gotten me through every.single.day. Does it end here? No. It was simply a wake-up call.
What are you pretending not to know? How are you fooling yourself into thinking all is ok? This is a BIG question, but one to ask when things are wobbling and out of whack. I knew the weight gain was an health issue. I knew it was causing confidence issues. I knew confidence issues were keeping me hidden and not as visible as I am meant to be.
Here is the place for you to start today with journal prompts...
What is out of alignment?
What needs to be awakened in you?
What are you pretending not to know?
When I asked myself that question the first time, the answer was a sobering revelation that my marriage was over. When I asked myself those questions this time, I knew my values were out of alignment, that the spiritual side of me had been deeply awakened and I need to share that (retreat coming soon) and I was pretending my health was fine - until I was literally stopped in my tracks.
Take a moment - or 5 weeks - and do the work for you. Believe me... when you are re-aligned and awakened, the energy and flow returns. Don't let life pass you by - no woulda, coulda, shoulda or regret. You've got one life to do it right - and it's never too late.
