I need some joy

After being so consistent with my daily practices and positive self-talk, I was on cloud nine. Life felt amazing everything was flowing, and I was genuinely excited for each new day. But then… life happened. The kids got sick. I got sick. And no matter how much I wanted to keep up with my practices, I physically couldn’t. A few days in bed completely knocked me out and wow, did it show me something powerful. I started to witness how quickly my old default settings crept back in. My body went straight into what it knew as “comfortable” but not in a good way. My self-talk turned negative fast. I stopped my breathwork. My nervous system felt overwhelmed and dysregulated. I was reacting instead of responding. And the worst part? It all happened so quickly. One day I was thriving… the next, I was back in survival mode. But here’s the thing I see it now. I understand what Jaggers and Nadeem mean when they say, “We are our own healers.” I could have given up. It would have been the easy path. But I didn’t. Because healing starts with a choice. And today, I choose peace. I choose healing. This is Day 2 of restarting my daily practice. I’m not 100% yet, but I journaled. I did breathwork in bed! I shifted back into positive self-reflection. And already, I feel lighter. To anyone else who’s feeling off or battling those critical thoughts… please don’t give up. Pause, rest, reset and then start again. One breath, one moment at a time. This container is powerful. Your shares lift me up every day. So I hope this post reminds you that you’re not alone and it’s always worth it to come back to yourself.❤️🙏🏼

over the past week or so anxiety, depression and overthinking decided to pay me a visit after being on a loooong vacay for the past few months! 🙄 now, whilst i DESPISE that they've reared their ugly heads, i know that it is for a reason and is happening FOR me and not TO me! i am mentally and physically EXHAUSTED and have felt like staying in bed all day every day but i am NOT going back there, not ever!! i witnessed an awful tragedy over 5wks ago and whilst i kinda processed a little of it, i seemed to have done what i always do and that is to sweep it under the rug and forget about it! a few tears definitely haven't *processed* it, not by a long shot! so, it's decided to show up by force and demand that i acknowledge it and let it pass through me! it's teaching me things about myself that i'd either forgotten about, pushed to the back of my mind, neglected or just resisted time and time again aaaand whatever we resist, persists! so me resisting this unexpected trauma has only gone and made it persist at an even greater scale, that is the darkness! 😒 i've had several realisations about myself this past week and i'm beginning to let go of unhealthy limiting beliefs that have been with me all of my life there's no light without darkness and in order for steffi sunshine to remain in her light, she needs a few steffi stormclouds every so often to clear the way! 🌦 i hate it but i now have the tools to be aware of it and not let it sink even deeper into my skin! breathwork and meditation have been a HUGE help in keeping my *labels* on an extended vacay! 🙏🏻 anyways, just thought i'd share this to let others see that it's okay to not be okay and that things come back to test you and to shed themselves in order for bigger and better things to enter your life once you are living as your true authentic self 🤗

Thank you what a great experience. More release of trauma in one session than a year of talk therapy
