Transformational Coaching
CHOICE.
So often we forget how powerful our human brains are. In every moment it is working to analyze, compare, weigh every option, our next move, all while thinking 5 steps ahead figuring out what our next meal should be!
In every single moment it is thinking – SOMETHING.
How often is it that we choose to fill our brains with complex scenarios related to work, relationship, health, or the future?
I am often amazed by timing. To back up a bit…
All this week, beginning Sunday evening, I sensed a growing ball of anxiety starting in the pit of my stomach and slowly rising toward my chest. My breaths are short and shallow, and I find myself identifying more and more with a certain story in my head.
It started with worrying about a single event happening Friday. Then it lead to worrying about having visitors in town and whether or not I even have the mental capacity to handle all that is going on. Then it leads to future tripping about everything and anything that may have an impact to my health and well being. Yea… having had adrenal fatigue can get you hyper aware of stress…
Then I receive an email from a subscription I have with The Journal by Kevin Rose (it’s free by the way) and came across this quote at the very end of the email:
“Sit in silence. It’s the last thing you want to do when you’re anxious and have so many thoughts, feelings, and emotions racing through your mind and chest but just trust me…. sit in silence. From this place of silence you will recognize the truth of who you are. The answer lies within you if you dig deep enough.”
I swear sometimes this is the hardest thing to do when you’re stressed, anxious, fearful, or even strung out with “happiness”. I say happiness in quotes because often times I find that when your ego is equally as identified with a high state based on the earthly plane that too creates an imbalance which causes a form of anxiety within the body. At least that is what I’ve come to find when my state of happiness is attached to a form of this earthly plane and not from within my deeper self.
So how do I re-center myself and find peace? How do I find the place so deep, yet reachable, within me that cannot be touched from any person, event, or even emotion?
Ever have a moment when you come across a person, book, text, or a line from a tv show and you just KNEW it was a message from the Universe? Perhaps you’ve been meditating on a certain question or something has been on your mind, occupying huge chunks of time from your day, only to wonder to yourself whether what you came across was a coincidence or a divine moment of truth? 🙂
I don’t know about you but I have certainly had these moments many times before.
