Are you on the Hamsterwheel of Healing?
Does it feel like a hustle being on your healing journey?

I think there’s a danger we can end up feeling that way sometimes and feeling as if we need to be fixed. And certainly social media will have it so that there are quick fixes everywhere abound, and if we just sign up for this course, that course, this modality .. we can pretty much get healed and fixed very quickly.
However healing doesn’t work that way. It’s a lifetime’s journey. I’ve been on my journey for almost 30 years now and I still get triggered. I still can feel like an imposter. I can get upset, over tired, distressed, feel I’m not good enough.
And I have to take myself by the hand and apply my own medicine at times like that.
I think there’s a danger that we think we can be fixed and we’re seeking some form of perfection, when healing isn’t that way.
It’s stripping back the lays of conditioning. it’s finding ourselves amidst all the chaos - out there and within, and really getting into grips with who we are and coming to terms with who we are; meeting ourselves, having the dark nights of the soul, and without all the razzmatazz, without all the modalities, the podcasts, the books, the courses, the retreats etcetera - just making peace with who we are and that we're very human in the end.
And the invitation is to be human; that’s the idea behind healing, for me anyway.
So invite you to remember when you’re on that hamsterwheel of healing, feeling it’s like a hustle... to just slow down, breathe and drop into who you are and make peace with that and enjoy yourself!
