Hey, how’s life treating you all? Any life-changing changes made? I would love to hear about small and big changes that have taken place. And if nothing has happened yet, Spring is the best time of them all to create change! In my end, life is good being back home. I have truly enjoyed my own surroundings and the cats, of course. Being back at work doing treatments has been grounding for me, so thank you all who have already made their way for a treatment.
I am slowly getting back into a routine, but it’s a mission to get your brain out of the procrastination mode! In all honesty, I was supposed to be writing this 2 weeks ago; it was in my calendar, and I have blocked time in my calendar a few times since. What happened instead was all sorts of missions that were extremely important to do in that moment. I’ll give you a few examples: Piling firewood, mopping the floor, ordering new shelves to get a better organized kitchen, getting the cats a new sofa, and my personal favorite, washing the bathroom ceiling. As you can see, I have been busy in my admin time, just haven’t done any admin. When I don’t feel fully grounded, this is exactly what happens, mission after mission, trying to create perfect surroundings so that I can concentrate. Does that sound familiar? Most of the time, we know what would help, we are just avoiding the doing part. So, that being said, I have diligently done my meditation and yoga every morning this week, and I'm starting to feel “normal” again. The funny thing with procrastination is that a lot of the time, the things you are avoiding doing are actually nice things, like I really enjoy writing the newsletter and meditation, and all of the times after getting the stuff done, you feel so much better! Already feeling the pressure lifting from my shoulders, haha.
The past few newsletters have been dealing with similar topics: time, routine, habits, values, and change, very accurate topics for my life atm after a big trip. When you are away from your routine and surroundings, it always shifts the perspective a little. I am still processing a lot of things that happened in the past few months, and I know there will be some amazing changes coming for me and that means also for you. I am currently signed up for a few online programs, so we’ll see what comes from that and if I will be brave enough to provide something similar myself in the future. But fear not, I am definately not stopping hands-on in-person treatments; they are my passion, and I truly enjoy all of the healing stories.
No special tasks for this month, folks, just stop avoiding doing the things that are pushing you forward!
Slightly modified list from the May newsletter to remind you what helps to stay focused:
BREATHE. Breath is always there to help you ground and calm down. There are a lot of different techniques to use, and if you a one that works, perfect. If not, just put awareness into your breath and try to release a full exhale, which can be done anywhere, anytime.
Book recommendation: Breath by James Nestor.
2. GO OUTSIDE. Just sit there doing nothing if you don’t have the energy to move. Way more restorative than anything else. Do this first thing in the morning and last thing at night, or whenever possible. Even better if you can get your feet and hands on the ground.
3. CLOSE THE SCREENS! Earlier the better. When it’s dark outside, you should not be exposed to light; it’s against your natural circadian rhythm and can mess up a lot of functions in your body. Give your nervous system a break.
4. EAT BREAKFAST and plan the rest of your meals in the morning when you are not tired or hungry. This will result into a hell of lot more consistent energy during the day and helps you avoid bad options.
5. MOVE! Move as much and as often as you can. The longer we are stagnant to more effort it will take to undo the damage. This does not mean you need to run like a headless chicken all day long, quite the opposite. If you sit for long stand up and pump your arms. If you been bending over lifting stuff, stretch your back and walk. If you been rushing from place to place, stop and consciously breathe, just to give you few simple examples.
6 .When you are tired, SLEEP! No scrolling, No TV, No alcohol or other excuses. Those of you who struggle to fall a sleep, even when you are exhausted, create a routine of darkness, stretches, reading etc. to help you calm down.
Just a few tools to help you out. Also a kind reminder to remember just to be. If you need more assistance and support, I am here, just reach out, and we’ll figure out more ways to help your healing journey.
Love

Some clearing photos from summer, it was surprisingly therapeutic to throw stuff down from the attic! All of my amazing artworks from primary school were found as well, a few got saved, rest of it will be burned!
