Life Happens

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.❤️🙏🏼
