Tested…
You will be tested. And she was…
Yesterday I was teaching an overthinking client embodiment tools. To begin, her body was pretty locked from stress, overworking, being unwell and keeping it all together all year long.
In session she really dropped into her body, begun to relax and feel again. Soften her ridged edges and find inner strength and wisdom. She did some powerful healing and rewiring of outdated beliefs and systems. Harvesting her lessons from 2020 and learning new ways to relate to herself and others.
At the end of her session she checked her phone to rebook the next date and seen a triggering message from work. She instantly felt overwhelmed and teary.
It was a test.
I invited her to put down and phone and apply exactly what I had just taught her. ‘You know the way now, do it for yourself’. And she did. Beautifully.
Her face softened. Her calm returned. She allowed space to feel and be with her emotions. I watched as her inner strength and wisdom return. She listened to her body and exhaled deeply a few times.
I said, that’s how to deal with everyday life. It doesn’t mean it goes away, but you have a tool to apply to deal with life in a better way. Rather than going tense, overwhelmed and stressed…. You can calm your body and deal with the problem in an embodied way.
This one client is a representation of the typical modern-day woman… lots to do, lots to juggle and manage. But just know, there are better ways to do things, rather than running on empty and not taking good care of yourself. I can teach you too.
She went home to have a bath… continuing to practice radical self-care so she can show up in the world daily to be all the things she needs to be.
Making YOU the priory.
It matters.
It matters the most.
