I'm having such a blast this summer, and it's all about enjoying my downtime. Usually, my summers are packed with client sessions, Zoom calls with folks from both Canada and the US, and people reaching out because they feel tired, exhausted, anxious, moody, hormonal, gaining weight, and eager to get to the root of their health issues.
You know that old saying, "You can't give from an empty cup!" Well, I decided to slow down and truly savor my summer. I'm only seeing a few select clients right now, and let me tell you, it feels fantastic!
This downtime has given me the space to redefine who I am, what I want, what matters to me, and how I want to spend my free time and with whom. I've been reorganizing my home, decluttering my office, and clearing out a lot of administrative junk. Isn't it amazing how tossing and purging creates this new energy of aliveness and creativity?
I've been working out regularly with my personal trainer, swimming, and I just started Pilates. Let me tell you, I could barely walk this past weekend—apparently, I haven't used some parts of my body in years! LOL.
I'm also going out weekly, meeting new people, and participating in fun and interesting community and spiritual activities. Plus, I've been traveling more this year, which really helps me get away from it all. It's me time, and I have never been calmer or happier.
Life isn't sad for me anymore. I've worked very hard-- for seven long years-- to heal my shattered soul and broken heart. I've come a long way since my son's su***de, and I'm so proud of myself. I know my Adam is proud of his mom too.
No matter how difficult life can get—and it will—you can heal from anything. If you invest in yourself, do the healing work, and maintain your hope and belief in yourself, you'll come out of that broken shell as a redefined human being.
I've learned how grief envelops a person and how the process of integration, no matter how long it takes, is essential to becoming a different, more whole person. Because I'm worth it—and so are you!
