What am I passionate about? What drives me?
I call it nerding out.
I love to learn and I love to share it with others. Right now, deeply working with nervous system responses, chronic illness, and working to achieve my Clinical Herbalist certificate.
Since I was young, I FELT within my being that there was so much more to this life. So much to explore, to try, and that what we were stuck doing, wasn't all we were meant for.
It was quite frustrating having this knowing and being stuck in a young self body, where you were told "no" or "that's not possible" or maybe "not right now".
I remember looking at the mountains and just wanting to "walk on up there"
And I digress.
I'm writing this morning, to actually reframe my own thinking. I have huge dreams coming and because they are not on my timing at all, it seems, I feel stuck in an odd limbo. It's making me feel.... disgruntled. Or perhaps like that wee self who was told "no" or "not yet"
So this morning, I asked my self "what makes you passionate" and my answer is this..."sharing what I have experienced and learned so that others may see that they don't have to remain with their trauma"
This could look so many ways.... the science of the nervous system experiencing trauma. The plant allies we have. Somatic unwinding. CranioSacral therapies. Energy work. Shamanic work. Ceremony. Movement through dance/yoga. Art of all kinds.
There is something for everyone. There are things that can help for a season and then it is time to find something else. Sometimes it is as simple as someone explaining to you, how/why our body has responded the way it has.
And as we heal, we need to be reminded to celebrate, no matter how "big" or "small" it may seem. To be reminded that trauma effects us mind, body, and spirit, deeper than we realize. It takes time to heal. And yet, the healing is so much faster than the length of time the trauma has been within.
Repeat that. The healing is so much faster than the length of time the trauma has been within.
So as I write to you all this morning, I am able to breathe deeper. To shift my internal dialogue. To remember during this wait, I continue to learn more, heal more, and my passion comes reignited once again.
Blessings my friends. Still here and happy to join you on your journey ❤️
