I have to tell you, I’ve been feeling really good lately, and to be honest it feels a little weird because I'm realizing feeling good is not a sensation I'm super familiar with.
I started doing this work with Brit Piper, my mentor and friend. She has this wonderful program called Body First Healing and she is who introduced me to what it feels like to truly be in my body.
So for the last four months, I've been on this journey of slowing down…
* feeling into my sensations
* getting curious
* not judging the way I feel
* and honoring where I am.
And I have to tell you guys, my mind is blown.
I've been on this path for so long, of self-healing through:
* traditional talk therapy
* coaches
* programs
* degrees
* and all the things
* Thinking, “I can think and do my way into finding safety in my body.”
* And it never worked.
I feel like I've been let in on this little secret and I just have to share it with you.
