In the DC area and looking for help organizing or redesigning your space? Let's chat!

Are you a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or empath? I am planning to host a free, group zoom sometime soon to chat about Empowering Empaths and HSPs. Let me know if you'd be interested in attending or if you know someone who might be.

Below is the book cover of "The Highly Sensitive Person" by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D . who researched the trait and coined the term. Here is a link to her website and the self test there. https://hsperson.com/test/

I so relate to this. A lot of what I have been working on lately is keeping my nervous system regulated and moving from a place where I can feel both calm and inspired/ motivated without being motivated by intense emotions or stress.

I've spent this last month in Costa Rica and am heading back home tomorrow.

While here, I've been focusing on calming my nervous system and restoring a sense of ease and spaciousness in my physical body.

I've been remembering to breathe from my belly and not just into my belly. I've been catching myself when I hold my breath - which I apparently do pretty often - and reminding myself to drop the clenching in my body and to breathe.

I have realized that so much of my motivation in life has come from agitation and stress and frustration rather than from a place of clarity, calm and inspired action where I am empowered, centered and aligned.

It is from this place that I wish to be moving in the world more and more. It is from this place that I am committed to living in more and more.

Awareness is the first step they say. Ahh... smiling and sighing and taking another deep breath.

If you want to build a great life, slow down.
Anyone can caffeinate & push hard toward their next goal.
But it's not sustainable.
Long-term energy comes from alignment.
And alignment requires feeling the subtle difference between energy created from anxiety & energy created from inspiration.
