Satisfying with Nourishment
Over the weekend, I allowed myself deep rest after the high cortisol week.
My therapist pointed out that in order to rest we must also nourish. This is based in the Sensitivity Cycle by Hakomi therapist Ron Kurtz.
This theory states that we have 4 parts to a full experience:
Insight: Awareness that I want or need something
Response and Action: I do something about it
Satisfaction: I experience nourishment from fulfillment
Completion and Rest: I release seeking and relax
Each of us can have barriers to one of these fields that weakens the cycle. For me, that is in the area of allowing nourishment, which also blocks my ability to fully rest.
Today I ask, what is nourishing for you? How do you sense your own satisfaction with a task?
For me, feeling relaxed is more about shifting my energy positively rather than laying around.
Train Your Brain for the Long Game
I am proud to share that this month, I accomplished a goal of a tarot lesson that combines movie archetypes and tarot.
It took me over 30 hours to create in many sessions where I had to choose to sit down and write, then edit, then prep tech tools and lights, then film, find clips, then edit, then edit, then edit some more.
When we stay vigilant on a long-term, self-motivated goal, it can be very disconcerting and even physically uncomfortable at first.
Over time, our brain gets the “real dopamine” of meaningful accomplishments, and final completion gives us a deeply satisfying continual flow.
