Why Not Have It All
I landed in sunny LA yesterday, and all the feels hit me in the best possible way. Everything I once told myself was not possible is possible, and landing yesterday afternoon was a physical reminder that we can have it all. The limiting beliefs that said hey, you can't do that, you're not good enough for this, you will never — those were silenced years ago, and let me tell you, it is an empowering feeling. When my nervous system settled, when my body started to feel the possibilities and my mind stopped yelling, more doors than I ever imagined started opening with a big welcome sign and warm greetings.
How is it possible…
Our nervous system and body keep score. They hold onto all the experiences, thoughts, and beliefs from conception to present day. They bank it, placing memory throughout our body, telling it how it should flow, think, and feel. Here's where the challenge comes in: when these memories are not who we authentically are, when they do not serve our highest good, they place us on a path of resistance to what is ours to embrace in a beautiful way.
Now of course there are circumstances out of our control that put blocks in front of us — especially in communities where the collective has been blocked for generations, or for individuals who have experienced or are experiencing deep traumatic events. That is real, and I would be doing those amazing souls a disservice if I said it's simple, just ground and breathe. Energy is collective, it has a ripple effect, and it can change the collective.
Here's how it worked and continues to work for me:
Have an honest conversation with yourself. What story are you holding onto? Does it serve your highest good? Is it your story, or the story you were told was yours? This is the hardest part of the journey, because you HAVE to be honest with yourself. You have to let it out, and you may need to do this with a trusted mentor or therapist who will hold space for you.
Start to work on regulating your nervous system. Our nervous system is doing what it has been allowed to do to protect us. Without telling it hey, it's time to soften, it won't. I love EFT/TFT techniques, grounding, balancing doshas through Ayurvedic modalities, and connecting with higher self through intuitive energy work.
Start moving one step at a time. This can be buying that shirt you love but told yourself was too pricey, or questioned if you really needed to justify buying. It can be taking yourself out to lunch in the outfit that makes you feel amazing. Whatever it looks like for you, start doing little things that are aligned with feeling great.
Work with a mentor, therapist, personal trainer, energy healer — or all of them. Ask yourself, what support do I need in this moment to move forward? It's best to work with someone who is not close to you, this way they can hold space for you, and you can be vulnerable with them. My recommendation is to interview them and see how you feel with their energy. It is important that you feel safe and comfortable with who you are trusting in your energy space.
You are AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, AND LOVED. Take ownership of your greatness and start living.
