Rise, Shine & Thrive ~ Week 3

I’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster since last week.

Over the last couple of years I’ve been cultivating a relationship with my emotions…

My therapist before last repeatedly told me I operated from my head space and was totally disconnected from my body. It would irritate the F out of me EVERY TIME she said it because for one she said it often but for two…I knew it but didn’t know what to do about it. She worked with me on & off again to build a capacity and today I see the impact of our work together.

So as I’ve been riding this emotional rollercoaster, I’ve had the opportunity to feel quite a bit of feels thanks to my work over the last couple of years coupled with my work with my new therapist and therapist before last. But I’ve also taken up quite a bit of space in my head. My head is safe, my head is familiar, and my head brings me solace when I need a break from the waves of the emotional storm within.

On the flip side, my head is where I share space with my not*self. The more I was up in there…the more frustrated I became. So this morning while doing my morning pages journaling practice…I surrendered.

Surrendering for me is freedom. It’s letting go…hello Gene Key 42…my conscious sun/life’s work. I didn’t connect the two when I surrendered but I was familiar with the power of my surrendering. Every time I surrender it’s like I’m revitalized/resuscitated.

This intentional surrender set me up for the day and allowed me room and space to be. What a gift to be. I also decided to stay off social media today because being on there can trigger my not*self super easily and I often don’t catch the shift until I start noticing the impact around me of my “offness”. I will get on there after I publish this blog post to share it but with it being 9:01pm and having Kettlebell class in the AM…my stay on the book will be brief just like today’s blog post…

Thank you for sharing this space with me.

Until next week…

Enjoy the gift of today!
