Anxiety can leave your nervous system so amped up you canāt sleep, feeling nauseous, and too overwhelmed to do anythingā¦
Then your inner critic piles on the guilt and shame for not being able to just do it.
You might even find yourself wishing to just be normal (whatever that is) but before you know it youāre spiraling.
This time of year adds on so much. Instead of joy, it can feel more like dread. š®āšØ
Your nervous system is overtaxed and self-care becomes another checklist, so you just down more coffee and caffeine to power through it, while telling yourself itāll get betterā¦
Except it hasnāt gotten better.
Instead, you continue to abandon yourself, claiming thereās no time to deal with it because really thatās the truth of that inner conversation. You continue to compromise yourself for the busyness of life, setting yourself aside for later.
Itās a harsh truth, but one you have to be ready to face if youāre ready to make changes.
Carl Jung said it best, āShadow work is the path of the heart warriorā because it takes strength, courage, and a commitment of self-love to face the shadows behind these patterns. Somatic work guides you through it.
