I'm ready to shift my pandemic coping mechanisms. Who's with me?
I’m ready to get dressed daily, to show up and speak my mind, to care for myself in a new way.
I took that photo in Paris in the fall of 2019. That girl had NO IDEA what was coming at her.
I had a dream last week about climbing a mountain.
I woke up feeling something I hadn’t felt since I settled in to 15 months of quarantine– a desire to take effortful action.
I spent 15 months healing. Learning. Sleeping in. Doing whatever the fuck I wanted to do– within my own apartment and budget, at least.
I stayed up late sipping wine and watching Outlander replays.
I read loads of books and studied many people in various social justice movements across time and space.
I went down internet rabbit holes learning about cakes and design and fashion and celebrity gossip.
I made lunch at 11am and ate snacks when I wanted to and even sometimes had a glass of rosé at 3pm– on a Tuesday.
I explored my creativity and didn’t shame myself about not working out.
I began to feel better.
My body calmed down after 40 years of fight-or-flight and panic attacks.
I feel GOOD.
That is something I have never said in my entire life.
And now, I’m ready to get back on the treadmill. The one that I design for myself, with my own goals.
I’m ready to start achieving again. And I think it’s only because I indulged myself without shame and with immense compassion for an adequate amount of time that I could actually start the healing process on a lot of old wounds.
I feel more confident in just little ole me than I ever have. That is such a joyful experience.
I’m sharing this because I want to know how YOU’RE feeling. Am I the only one who feels that it’s time to take some creative risks again?
I want to be in love. Not just have my only close personal relationship with my dog (no offense to him).
I want to ride my bike again, wind whipping through my hair, instead of watching the world from my window.
I want to meet a new version of myself that can only happen if I channel those desires instead of letting myself off the hook all the time.
I’m so glad I have a coach to co-create with me. To help me say YES to myself even more. To help me shift my thoughts when they’re from a place of fear, or anger, or victim mentality.
You don’t have to do this work alone. In fact, it’s more fun when we’re together.
