Authenticity: How to BE, pt. 1

Authenticity, how to BE: pt. 1

Wow, we have been on what might be a roller coaster ride together!

You might be wondering, “where do I go from here?”

Remember the advice I received? To start small? To basically find out what brings me joy?

You can start there too! What brings you joy? What brings you peace? What brings you calm?

This is a great way to start because it brings your focus to the positive before entering the more pressing and difficult realm of connecting with your physical sensations, called somatics.

Do you have a therapist? A life coach? Someone to walk alongside you in this endeavor? If you do not and are interested in coaching services, you can schedule a free consult with me. We can talk to determine if working with me is a good fit for you and if not, we can talk about options for you.

Schedule a free consultation

However you go about this, it is important not to do it alone. If you have no safe humans in your life, find an animal or part of nature to connect to. If you have been able to work with a weekly check-in partner, maybe you can ask them to come along for this ride with you.

For me, the connections to animals and plants has been a safe space where humans no longer were. My ducks, chickens, cats, and dog are safe space. The trees are a safe space. Sitting with plants, foraging, plant identification, are safe spaces for me.

What do you connect to? What brings you feelings of safety, peace, joy? Please tell me about it in the comments, dear one.
