So many people are walking around holding in the stale imbalance of patterns and beliefs that block , prevent, and add to internal suffocation of the imbalance in life. The truth is these stale patterns often drain many and are self sabotaging demonstrations of stress linked to anxiety, depression, and physical issues of fatigue and other medical conditions.
In order to exhale these stale and ineffective patterns it will require our personal willingness to break through the denial that they were self created and acknowledging each is the first step to releasing them for the transformational alchemy to manifest in our daily routines, connections with all relationships, and i,n experiencing a state of being comfortable in our own skin.
Stale stagnation is a direct byproduct of not having and claiming anything or very little in life that motivates us to step off the hamster wheel of stress onto the merry go round of a balanced life . Perhaps a choice resulting in imbalances may be because one takes on too many things that not even a SuperHero could not get done , feeding the mind-body with fatigue and exhaustion on a daily basis. Instead of enjoying challenges to help inner growth, the mind becomes stuck in the recycling of negative thoughts as self esteem takes a deep dive resulting in the “never good enough” old belief to take over not only in the awakened moments but also entering our dreams in the form of nightmares. When we refuse to see what is really going on we will make no efforts to change and our closest relationships comrades, and our own inner being will miss the authentic person we really are. We become stuck as if held in this whirlwind of our foundation in quicksand! Furthermore , we begin emotionally distancing from pleasurable friendships , feel restless-irritable-discontented with life, and begin dreading experiences we used to enjoy more often than we are looking forward to many of them.
The optional choice as I see it is to remain in burnout mode or embrace the red flags as an opportunity to shed our old skin, refresh and recalibrate into that which nourishes us to exhale and relax into a happier state of being!
Gathering up our cornucopia of pleasurable abundant ideas of a better way to bring in balance we might think about and act upon a few things:
- Take that much needed break from personal, work, and social commitments . Even if you feel you cannot take a whole day off, take 5-10 minutes to do something that makes you laugh…a real belly laugh…listen to meditative, calming musical tones, or just hum a single vibrational tone of a single vibration.
- Practice saying “NO”. No is a complete sentence. If a task in your group, family, or job is not going to get done unless you volunteer to do it, ask yourself how important is this in the long run if I do not offer to take it on.
- Create and enforce personal boundaries. Instead of getting mad or overwhelmed at someone who repeatedly asks you to do something for them that they are very capable of doing for themselves, tell that person you need your space and free time right now, and perhaps they can look up that information on the internet or make their own lunch.
- Make a list of things that feed your passions and each day pick one and do it!
The more we do those things that nourish us and make us feel good combined with tasks we feel we need to take care of, the more in balance we are. When we are more balanced, we don’t feel a need to hold our breath out of frustration and anxiety, and we feel the power of the EXHALE!
