What do you need today?
The language of today’s newsletter will be directed at my US community – but it is transferable to all the pain and suffering happening in all parts of our world.
What do you need today, this post-election day?
What do you need to feel ok? To soothe your nervous system after months – years really – of the angry rhetoric that has filled our nation? After wave after wave of national and global disasters and suffering?
Being Fertile doesn’t require 24/7/365 peace. And that’s a good thing, isn’t it? Because that isn’t going to happen.
But what it does require is the ability to create pockets of peace and safety for your body so that your cells can get out of fear mode and into growth mode. Growth mode supports your body’s fertility, not to mention your overall well-being.
Basic steps for creating those pockets of peace:
- Recognize that even though you’re feeling worried, anxious, fearful (insert any other emotion here) and it feels like that emotion is taking over your entire being, these emotions are coming from a single *part* of you. There is also a part of you that knows peace no matter what.
- Honor and acknowledge this part that is feeling so deeply. See her. Listen to her. Let her speak her mind. Don’t try to cover her up because she will simply get louder.
- Do a practice that soothes your nervous system. Maybe that’s yoga. Or meditation. Or a long walk. Or EFT tapping (see below). Or talking with a friend.
- Repeat that practice until you feel soothing.
- As your nervous system calms, connect with your inner essence, your inner being, your Divinity (whatever your name is for your wise Self). What does she know for sure? Use that wisdom to create a personal safety statement.
- Post your personal safety statement everywhere – as wallpaper on your phone. On a post-it note on the side of your bedside table. Anywhere you are going to see it and read it.
- Repeat as needed.
Listen, there isn’t an easy answer to creating peace amid such intensity that is our world today.
But it is possible with focus (and the right tools); your fertility and your mental health will be better for that focus.
And, when there are spikes in intensity, do whatever you need. For me, that often includes dark chocolate and an episode of Great British Bake Off. After checking out for a bit, I can return to the tools that will create a longer-lasting sense of security and peace.
