Sometimes we move through expansions at warp speed and our sweet nervous systems code it as not feeling safe to keep going, to keep growing, to keep expanding. So we contract. And sometimes those contractions can last an hour or two, or sometimes they can last weeks or months. It’s our relationship to the contractions that impacts how quickly we can recover from them and get back to what the business needs.
What I’ve found the most helpful here is to have a space to dignify and validate the painful parts of growth.
⭐️Your resentment for something not going the way you wanted it to... is valid. ⭐️Your longing for past versions of self and perhaps a simpler times before all the responsibility... is valid. ⭐️Your heartbreak over all the trauma you've experienced... is valid. ⭐️Your meltdown in the overwhelm of your to-do list... is valid.
I am the advocate for little you and adult you to have a weekly space to be held, to rage, to be in heartbreak. Where you can say the shitty things that you’re embarrassed to say out loud. Where you can cry for the entire time if you need to. Where you can process the sometimes mind numbing fears of expansion.
You see, whatever is coming up for you, needs a space to be validated and dignified so that they aren’t running the show or starting to rule to story around your life, because THAT is what causes suffering.
