🦋What Drives Me and My Work🦋
I won’t lie I find this quite hard to write about since it’s so personal to me and I feel I keep that separate from my work although it’s what drives me.
I use to be an incredibly anxious person, there were things I didn’t know about myself, things I hadn’t quite realised yet. I use to also worry about the outcome of everything, scared of what next step to take in fear of it not being the right one, too much of a perfectionist, scared to just be incase it was wrong.
🌱Growing up my dad taught me about the nervous system, about your conscious & subconscious mind, Reiki, various other things like breathing techniques, tapping, ho’ponopono etc. Over time I slowly implemented these practices into my life, I used these as support systems, tools to help me when I needed them the most. Dedicating time to truly getting to know myself and why I think and behave the way I do, accepting myself fully, has transformed my mind and my anxiety.
❤️🩹Accepting that I’m a deeply sensitive person that feels everything, someone that would help out a little too much to my own detriment (something I’ve learned to stop doing), someone who’s incredibly passionate and strict about my ethics and morals, someone who can be stubborn, someone who cares a lot about healthy communication and wanting to understand my loved ones the most. All of these things and more, are part of who I am, including all the complicated and messy parts that make up me. Accepting them fully has helped me not only know myself, it’s helped me better myself and connect to my own power.
It’s helped me understand my boundaries, understand my dreams, understand the kinds of people I want to surround myself with AND how I want to show up in the world.
None of this means that I’m perfect and I do everything perfectly. Healing can be messy and emotional, there may be times in the future I’ll feel lost again or my anxiety will rush back, what’s important however is that I know how to manage it. I understand how my mind works and how I cope best with every day life (and that is something that will always be a lifetime of learning as I change & grow).
Grieving on top of that has been a learning journey but one I’m able to carry (although not always easily) with the tools I have and being patient & kind to myself.
