It is so thoroughly normalised that not living this way is seen as abnormal, unrealistic or aspirational.
Constantly being “on” has become so woven into the fabric of our way of living that it typically takes burn out or getting sick to become aware of it. This was the case for me.
The truth is, constantly being on & feeling like you have to keep getting things done isn’t normal. Nor is it how our bodies were designed to thrive.
The good news is, this pattern of being stuck in an “on” state is simple to unwind. Yes - it takes showing up & being with the discomfort of creating new ways of being - but let me tell you, the rewards are oh so worth it.
On the other side of this pattern is so much more ease, peace, play, pleasure & clarity than you can imagine.
And it doesn’t mean giving up your drive, your motivation, your ambition or your material success.
It simply means you’re on when you need to be on, and not when you don’t.
It means that you’re not constantly feeling like “there’s something else I should be doing.”
It means that when you have the opportunity to relax, to connect with people, to have fun or to rest, your body allows you to do that with total presence. No lingering to do list in the background of your mind.
As we head into the more energetic summer months here in the southern hemisphere, imagine looking back on your memories of the summer months & thinking “I was really present, relaxed & able to enjoy that time. I viscerally remember what it felt like to be there.”
This is the work I do with my somatic coaching clients. With my guidance, you support your body to unlearn the pattern of constantly being “on” & relearn presence, peace and stability.
I have space to support 3 new clients between now and Christmas. DM for more info on what working together would look and feel like.
Love,
