Good morning, beautiful souls,

Raise your hand if you are a negative over-thinker. 🙋‍♀️

My mind has a tendency to over-analyze every scenario in which things can go wrong. However, the truth is that there are just as many that can go right. ✨

When we catch our mind in a negative thought spiral, take a moment to acknowledge that your brain just wants to keep you safe (thank you, Brain!). Then, shift the narrative. Think of all the ways life can go right. 💜

Last step: Turn it over to Spirit. Let Spirit navigate the path ahead and know that everything will work out in your favor and in your highest good. 🙏

I hope you have a wonderful day, my dear friends. I am sending lots of love!

A series of mindful actions, approached one at a time, can allow for transformation.

‼️***TRIGGER WARNING***‼️

Something not often discussed but should be. As someone who has battled SI many times, I can indeed say that it’s “always there”, in the background. I think often times people who suffer with this quietly are the ones who may suddenly “act” on it which shocks those in their immediate circle. It isn’t that they appear outwardly suicidal, but that background thought always being there can be triggered by overwhelm in the day to day living that one suddenly decides to act on the thoughts. If this has ever been you, or if this is something you still carry with you, know that you are not alone. It is always safe to reach out and talk to someone.

“As an adult survivor of childhood abuse and neglect my mind is wired to assume fault and/or consequence in everything I do, including having my needs met.

“As an abused child I learned that my emotional needs were a burden to others. After a lifetime of suppressing my emotions, any emotional response from me as an adult feels like an overreaction.” – Shanon Page

Welcome to the Winding Path

Life can be difficult. Sometimes overwhelming. Leaving us feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, confused, even trampled. Sometimes we feel stuck in a rut or ready to call it quits—whether that be a relationship or life itself. Sometimes what used to help us make sense of the world—like faith, religion, family, friends, work, or play—no longer offers the comfort or support we desperately need. We may feel lost and alone, disoriented.

If life’s journey is leading you through seemingly impassable terrain, having someone along to help navigate may be on the next path. You may be approaching a turn in the road, a crossroads.

Barb Zacharias provides individual counselling services that promote wholeness and wellness with an approach that encompasses the multi-facets of being human: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational concerns.
