A SECRET REVEALED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS...๐Ÿ˜

The journey to reclaiming my inner authority began as a very isolated and lonely path over 30 years ago. I am encouraged to witness now, the expanding awareness within humanity as we begin to realize that ignoring, repressing and denying our feelings - leads to destruction of our health, our well-being, our spiritual aspirations and our relationships.

Even - our prosperity! (Difficult to create your dreams or attaining your goals if you are sick, full of anxiety, can't focus, or can't get along with others). It is now more important than ever to learn the skill of emotional self-awareness and transformation in our current world of chaos, stress, and change.

And to do so with self-acceptance, compassion, and curiosity.
Just look at the above listed effects of denying this! In this video, I share my lived perspective on the power of learning how to 'retrain our brain' and 'make friends with feelings' so that we can stop so easily getting, 'triggered'. We can access MORE self-control, not less, when you understand how this process works, and apply it to your own life.

This is how we can learn to reclaim our personal sovereignty...within community.

It is the only truly sustainable path to inner confidence, peace, and love for the sake of joy and thriving in healthy relationship to others, our planet, and within your own self.๐Ÿ’ƒ๐ŸŒนโœจ๐Ÿ’ž

STRESS - is a silent killer and cause of 95% of chronic disease. There are 4-Key stressors and I find that most people do not realize at all what they are, and how they are connected.

Stress and its side effects are something that I have a deep interest in as it connects the dot between mental, emotional, physical and spiritual realms of health and healing. And, I had to find this path for myself. As we understand what it is and how we are inflicting it upon ourselves, we are better equipped to take control of it.

As women go through perimenopause, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all drop which can mean interrupted or poor-quality sleep. Estrogen can affect the bodyโ€™s magnesium levels; a mineral that actively helps muscles relax. As estrogen levels drop, this can lead to restless, twitchy legs at night and even muscle cramps.

But this doesn't only affect women - menโ€™s hormones are also affected by getting older, with lower testosterone levels being linked to similar sleep issues to those women face. When testosterone starts to drop, so do levels of feel-good neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, adding stress and anxiety into the mix.

Do you suspect your hormones may be messing with your sleep? Check out our latest article in the comments to learn more.

Insomnia is the inability to attain a good nightโ€™s sleep - despite having the opportunity and environment to do so - with negative next-day consequences.

You have trouble falling asleep, sleep poorly, wake up tired or exhausted, and your next day is miserable because you donโ€™t have the capacity to navigate it well.

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder affecting approximately one third of all adults.

Insomnia can take three forms:

Transient Insomnia occurs for one week or less. It is often the result of stress or environmental factors such as excessive noise or light.
Acute Insomnia occurs for up to one month. It is often the result of stress and usually dissipates once the stressor is no longer present.
Chronic Insomnia occurs for at least three nights per week and lasts three months or longer. It is often the result of long-term stress, grief or even a medical condition.

Our blog this month is all about sleep. Read more in the comments.

As a society we seem to be increasingly accumulating sleep deficits because of chronically poor-quality sleep, or simply going to bed too late. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Modern work demands, the increasing rarity of work/life balance, and the emergence of โ€˜hustle cultureโ€™ often celebrate our ability to get much done on little sleep. We are expected to do more on less rest, and sometimes that is to the detriment of our physical and physiological health. ๐Ÿ˜”

Despite this, there is a lot you can do to improve the quality of your sleep and your health. Check out the link to our blog this month in the comments for tips on improving your sleep. ๐Ÿ˜ด

Did you know that your ability to think clearly, regulate your emotions, and find joy in life is directly linked to how well you are sleeping at night?

And itโ€™s not only your brain thatโ€™s affected by poor sleep patterns, your body has many functions that rely on the deep sleep phase. Inadequate sleep can interrupt detoxing functions, disrupt hormones and contribute to a roster of health problems.

If you feel your sleep isn't cutting it, check out our lates article which talks all about sleep, and how to improve it in the comments.
